On Lia's actual birthday she opened her presents and then she and Nate and I went skiing. It was really fun to go with just her. She is a great skier! That night we had pasta (her favorite) for dinner and then I took her, Laura, Megan and the Elmers to see a movie (the same one she saw with her student council group a couple days before--she liked it so much she wanted to see it again). I am so grateful for Lia. She is a great example to me in so many ways. She is so giving and is always thinking of nice things to do for other people. She is also very creative and is always coming up with fun things to do and make. She is very dilligent with her homework and her study of the gospel. Her staight A's and membership in the National Honor Society are great, but I'm even more proud of her desire to do what is right. She is very committed to her family and extended family and to her friends. It's fun to watch her try new things and further develop others, like playing the violin. She is a great friend to me and fun to be with. And she is so patient with me as I fumble my way through being her mom. I will always be grateful for the little girl she was and the beautiful young woman she is becoming.
