Eighth Birthday Interview With Coo

Eight years we've had so far with this young lady! She's as lovely as she looks, beautiful inside and out. She reminds me of a fairy princess, except that the pixie dust magic in her wake takes a more tangible form by surrounding us with the pretty things she's constantly creating. She is not a morning person and doesn't yet appreciate her brothers' jokes, though she's quite capable of holding her own in banter with them when she chooses to! This is a tiny peek into her world...
