Lydia

While I wasn't feeling well this past week, I completely forgot to celebrate the 10th birthday of my beautiful niece, Lydia.  I cannot believe she's 10 years old!

I can still remember when she was this tiny like it was yesterday ... 

I can remember doing her hair when she was the flower girl in my sister's wedding in 2005... 

She's always had these gorgeous blue eyes ... 

She has the best goofy grin ... 

I love that she still lets me smell her head ... 

And that she hasn't outgrown stuff like this yet ... 

And I love that she insisted on being a junior bridesmaid in my wedding in 2010, because "flower girls are for babies."

I love that she loves clothes now, too ... and I can't wait to go shopping with her when she's even older!
