Cyrena's 9th birthday

This year was not a party year for Cyrena. So instead we took a group of friends to the movies!  We saw Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. It was so much fun.

Natalie, Cyrena, Kadian, Robyn, Morgan 

She got some fun presents that she'd been wanting. Pajama pants,

A large Slush Beanie Boo

Fun new books and a Rainforest diorama kit

And most importantly, an ANIMAL JAM membership!

We made Mud Pie for dessert and Cyrena was one happy girl

About Cyrena:

-Cyrena continues to excel at school; she's eager to learn everyday.
-Cyrena has done very well with the piano.  She works hard and is able to catch onto new concepts quickly. She amazes us daily with her skill!

-Cyrena is a good example to her friends, making sure they are kind to each other and making good choices.  She has a good group of friends except one with whom she's had to deal with some bullying.  It's been difficult but she has made good choices throughout and has not let it damage her spirit.

- Cyrena continues to love to read.  She is just starting the Harry Potter books and I know she will love them.  I told her she will never forget how reading them made her feel!

-Cyrena reads with her book light in bed for at least an hour each night.
-Cyrena is helpful at home. She has taken on some harder chores and done them well.

-Cyrena wants a single braid in the back EVERY. DAY.  I try to negotiate other hairstyles at least once a week

-Cyrena still prefers vegetables over fruit but prefers CHOCOLATE over everything!

-Cyrena is and always will be bossy, stubborn, analytical, chatty, musical, smart, happy, good-natured, positive, spiritual and loving.  We LOVE her!
