Happy 8th birthday, KT!

As avid Damm readers know by now, it's tradition around here to take a photo of the birthday child on the morning of the birthday.

Good morning, sleepy 8-year-old! 

It's time to wake up and enjoy the day! 

Happy birthday, Katie!

Instead of the usual waffle, breakfast included a decorated sugar cookie.
She was most excited that the writing was in cursive.

After breakfast, she opened gifts from me, Cooper, the Stogsdill-Taruns and the Nguyens. 

She was thrilled with the gift from Cooper -- Saige, the American Girl doll of the year.

And still there's more celebrating to come! Happy 8th birthday to spirited Katie, an old soul who finds joy wherever she goes.
