Sierra's 5th Birthday


Yes, she is nursing "Ribbit." :)


Checking to make sure the ice cream is truly all gone!

The mud was not as tasty as she expected!

Trying to master crawling :)


My beautiful baby girl turns 5 years old today! So unbelievable to this mama's heart. She is gorgeous inside and out. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with Philip's parents and uncle. She shared her presents with her brothers and even taught them how to put on her new skates and knee and elbow pads- all without being prompted by us. Ian spilled some milk yesterday and some went under the fridge. Mopping that up resulted in discovering many other long-lost toys and Philip was trying to tip the fridge. Of course, it was pretty heavy and we heard Sierra praying out-loud, "Dear Jesus, please give Daddy the strength to tip the refrigerator to get our toys." She loves to burst into songs she has made up filled with truths from Scripture. She wants to be a construction worker and a cowgirl when she grows up. Happy Birthday Sierra! Mommy and Daddy love you from the tips of our toes to the tops of our heads. We love your giggles, songs, snuggles, stories, and ideas. We love every discovery you share with us. We are thrilled to watch you growing to love Jesus, your family, and others around you. We love you, Baby Girl, and we are so thankful God let us be your parents. You are our dream come true! Have a wonderful day today, Angel!

Happy Birthday darling girl!! Enjoy your skates and your day! I can't believe your FIVE either, I can remember when Caleb and I would come over to visit with you and mommy when you were just months old. May God continue to bless you as you grow in His grace!

Love,

Mrs. (and Mr.) Siebenthal, Caleb, Benjamin, and Baby #3 :)))
