Five

Instead, this year has been more about developing and growing; letting your personality expand and shine.  You are thoughtful and insightful.

Quirky and original.

Adventurous and fun-loving.

Silly and warm.

You care about others’ feelings and what you can do to make them happy.

You love a good snuggle, and getting to watch a show cozied up under a blanket.

You can be bold and brave.

I think there’s a tough girl…

… lurking inside.

There were still some firsts during your fifth year – you learned to sew on your own sewing machine, and did so with shocking capability.

And you also learned to fish and even helped land a little shark with Grandpa Fishy.

I love you more than my arms can hold, Arden dear!  I can’t wait to see what adventures your sixth year holds!

Here are the responses to the 20 questions I ask Arden each year on her birthday:

It’s fun comparing to her answers from prior years – her responses from turning four and three can be found in the links under the ages.
