7.

The 7 best things about Aubrey on her 7th birthday (with 7 pictures from her special day).

 #1:

Aubrey is fiercely obedient.  

She is a rule keeper.  She has a serious amount of self control, this little one.  

Out of child and adult alike, she is honestly, the most trustworthy person I have every known.

 #2:

Aubrey has a heart the size of the whole world.

She is unusually sensitive, and tender, and caring.  Last week she told me about three different situations at school in which she put aside her own desires to go out of her way for someone who needed a friend.  (One time she even gave up her turn on the swing when she went to help a boy that had tripped down a hill and then started crying as his friends ran away without him.  She was incredulous about this situation.  She literally could not grasp how they could have left him.)

 #3:

Aubrey is HILARIOUS.

Funniest kid alive, I swear to you.

Her one-liners and bubblying sense of humor have us constantly rolling.

 #4:

She is a spiritual giant.

Aubrey's spirituality is on a whole other level.  Her faith is the sweetest, purest, most profound and beautiful thing I've ever seen.

 #5:

Aubrey is committed.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if you give Aubrey a job to do, she'll do it.  And she'll do it well.

 #6:

Aubrey is talented.

She is good at everything she tries.  She is one of those rare few who can be a great many things.  She'd make a great mom + nurse + lawyer + teacher + vet + athlete + coach + writer + artist + student + missionary.

#7: 

Aubrey is the greatest daughter, sister, friend, and girl.

Happy Birthday Princess.

We love you.
