My girl turns 10 today. Yes 2 digits from now on.
It's so scary to think that in another 10 years she'll be on her own.
I wonder if I'm doing enough to teach her all she needs to know.
A few things I want to remember about her right now. . .
Pink is still her favorite color.
She's absolutely great with children, a natural mother.
I still believe Heavenly Father knew I would need a spirit like hers to help me since Papi is gone most of the time so He sent her to me first.
Because of her nurturing gift, even at this young age, she makes a great babysitter.
Her little sister, "sissy" as they call each other, may be one of her best friends and I love that they are so close despite their age differences.
Even though her school teacher has some issues Alexandria still wakes up every morning and gets ready without any complaints.
She's very responsible and gets her homework done without me ever asking her to do it.
Cold weather is her favorite.
Her dream is to go to BYU, yea!!
She loves anything that sparkles especially if it's pink.
She loves playing with makeup especially when I do a "makeover" for her.
She's turning into a beautiful young lady,
and growing up absolutely way too fast.
I love that her birthday is on New Year's Day. It gives us a good reason to have great New Year's parties. Now New Year's is actually one of my favorite holidays.
Of course we had to use pink to decorate, and sparkles.
What would a Cesar party be without the food? Alexandria requested Mexican food. So taquitos, flautas, tamales, empanadas, homemade salsa, guacamole and chips it was.
We stayed up late. There were fireworks, a pinata and of course presents.
I love you Alexandria. I'm so proud of the choices you are making and the person you are becoming. I really have the best daughter ever!

She is wonderful! You're teaching her very well.
I'm so very glad to have Alexandria in my life. She makes me smile and I love when she wants to just come and hang out with grandma. Happy Birthday. Alexandria.
