That Hilarious Kid

Cassidy loves life. She squeezes joy out of every single second and is tickled with each delicious moment that comes her way.

Today this marvellous child turned 8 and so, even more than the norm, she skipped and hopped and giggled through each surprise and experience that unfolded. It just made us want to do more to make that smile of hers appear...and because very little embarrasses her when it has to do with fun and celebration, she throws herself wholeheartedly into enjoying it all.

From the huge grin at being served breakfast in bed (her gourmet menu? a pop tart, bacon, bananas and orange juice) to a shy smile when the whole club sang Happy Birthday to her during gymnastics, to wearing moose antlers on her head at her favourite Montana's restaurant, it is all happy time for Miz C.

Each gift is a moment to be treasured no matter what it is ... and do NOT rush her over the cards because she likes to read every word...

Special greetings and presents from her aunt, uncle and cousin Sophie were an extra treat, as was the cool present of a lap-desk for beds, cars and the couch (Bryanna scored one too, a week before her own big day!)

And did you notice the fashion spectacles? Those were a gift from Brya and she adores them - which says something very telling about how well her big sister knows her.

Happy Birthday, Cass, we love you!!!!
