Happy Birthday sweet-girl! We love you!!! You are such a JOY to have as a daughter :) You are always filled with Jesus' joy...always laughing and full of fun energy! It really is hard to believe that it was 12 years ago that you were born ~ it truly seems like just yesterday that we were in the hospital with you. You were born in the evening and I have such a sweet picture of you and Daddy that next morning - your first morning :) You were such a peaceful and sweet baby.
We had more of a Birthday weekend for you since today was also ORPHAN SUNDAY at church ;) Yesterday we went to the tailgate for the football game and then to In and Out for dinner and opened your gifts from our family. You got some Ugg boots from us and a cute outfit from the boys ;) From Nana and Papa and Uncle Dave and Auntie Tera you got gift certificates to the pet store to get a fish tank and some fish - wahoo! This morning Koslon helped Daddy make waffles for breakfast and we headed off to church and this afternoon Auntie Julie took you to go shopping for a couple of new, cute shirts :) Then we had your family party at Nana and Papas - a FUN B'day weekend!
