"I don't feel that different"--Mary the day after her 5th birthday

A little ode to the past helps one appreciate the present a bit more!
She started out cute!
On her 5th birthday, i came in from a walk and found Mary cuddling with Mark.   I said, I don't know who is getting the gift here.  And she said, "This is Dad's best present."  And this photo documents the origins of it all.

Daniel, despite some impishness, does have a loyalty to his sisters.  This birthday, Daniel was so excited to give Mary her present, he begged and succeeded in giving it to her the night before.
The love between Dorothy and Mary also began early!
A winning smile and bright eyes
Birthday cake with sister and friends!

I had designed the icing, but Mary added the real rose in the middle!
