January

January was a full month! We celebrated three birthdays,starting with Jenika on the NINETEENTH.  At ten years old, Jenika is a beautiful red head with a (almost always) sweet disposition and a strong will.  She is tall at 4'9".  She is busy too.  She has been jump roping, and clogging, and she just started playing the violin.  It's hard work, but she is getting pretty good! :)  She loves playing with her friends, watching TV, and dressing up her little sister.  She is doing well in school, and loves to read.  She doesn't love math as much, but she is good at it.

Jenika had a birthday party with about 9 friends.  It was loud, but fun!  They played karaoke, made pizza, played some games, and giggled a lot.  She doesn't like cake, so we made her a rice krispie treat cake.  She got lots of presents, including a suit case, a Kindle, and accessories for her American Girl Doll.  I can't believe that my birthday buddy is already 10 years old!  We love her, and she is a huge blessing for our family!
