Wishing the girl who will ALWAYS be my tiny baby a very happy 6th birthday today!!!! Erin has a bigger-than-life personality which includes being a boundary pusher, ornery, bold, and strong-willed. But she has endless awesome qualities that make up for it. She's so super sweet and loving, thoughtful, smart, and hilarious. Her soft, squishy cheeks kill me every single day!! She also has a smile that lights up every room she walks into. We will be celebrating her birthday with a beach, mermaid, dolphin theme today.

We have not yet done her 6 year photos, because, let's be honest. Being a teacher's kid, a birthday in August is not the most ideal!!

My favorite thing in the entire world.
