Nora is 10. How is my baby ten years old?
Seriously, I don't even understand how so much time passed so quickly.
Not. At. All.
But alas, it has and it has been wonderful. Filled with the little blonde head bobbing around our home and our lives since 2008.
And once again, she spent her birthday surrounded by moving boxes as we prepared to move to a different house. Not state this time at least.
And once again, she had a Harry Potter birthday because Harry Potter and the world JK Rowling created is her second home.
For her family party, I made a beautiful and yummy cake just for her. But for the big party, the one with her friends? Nothing but a Snitch Cake would do.
Her house is Hufflepuff. And yes, knowing which house you belong to matters and separates the true Potter fans from the muggles;)
I'm also so grateful for good friends. Nora has been REALLY blessed with good friends. And when you have had to move and leave behind other really good friends, it makes all the difference in a new place
I'm so grateful to be Nora's mom. She brings lots of ideas and fun and keeping us on track to our family. She's a general if I ever met one, but she gets things done, she accomplishes her goals and she's really really fun and nice while she does it.
Happy birthday sweet, darling Nora. Thanks for being a bookend and for being so gosh darn cute:)
