Lauren Turns Six

Lauren Turns 6 Years Old!

I know this looks likes Christmas morning, but she is opening some of her gifts in the morning wearing her p.j.s

 Lauren brings so much joy to our family. Here are the top 6 things we love about Lauren.

1. She is usually always happy. She loves to laugh and her laugh is very contagious.
2. She is very creative. Every morning she shuffles out of bed goes straight to her craft table to create a new picture or write a new story. She spends most of the day crafting and sharing her masterpieces with everyone.
3. She wants to be helpful and obedient. She is the first to volunteer when we ask for help around the house. She has a hard time cleaning her room on her own, but if you turn on the music she loves to clean while rocking out to her favorite songs.
4. She is always dancing and singing and inviting everyone to join in on the fun.
5. She loves to bare her testimony. She bore her testimony for the first time in Fast and Testimony Meeting in November. She always says her prayers at night without being reminded and thanks Heavenly Father for every blessing. If the family is extra hungry or in a hurry to get out the door they dread Lauren saying the prayer because she prays in the longest. Nephi is her favorite Book of Mormon Prophet because “he is really brave and did hard stuff.”
6. She is still our beauty queen. She loves anything to do with styling hair, wearing make up, and putting together great outfits. All her dolls and her mom get regular make overs. Even her Dad is not immune from her styling touches. He often gets his hair combed during scripture study or family council.

Lauren is loving Kindergarten with her teacher Mrs. Stephens. She is a good reader and enjoys math. She likes doing her “homework” every day as she practices at home. She and Megan are the best of friends and play together really well. Except that Megan has the most beautiful hair and she does not like having Lauren comb and style it. Lauren is always up for any adventure and thinks everything sounds like fun whether she is wrestling with Ethan, playing Just Dance on the Wii with Maddy, playing barbies with Megan, golfing, camping, Geo caching with Dad and cooking and crafting with Mom. However, she does not really enjoy riding her two wheeler bike. She is getting better, but right now it is not her favorite thing to do.

Lauren in our peacemaker and has a happy go lucky attitude that endears her to everyone. Every morning before she leaves for school she gives her Dad and me a hug and whispers, “I love you with all my heart.”

We love you too Lauren. Happy Birthday!
