Happy Birthday Miss E...

Eight years old! How can it BE?!
Just yesterday, we brought you home for Christmas.
You were our best present EVER!
You captured my heart
and grew up with ease
you followed your sisters wherever you pleased
You're quick with a smile
and smart--don't forget it
you're an artist, a chef, an athlete and moreYou're thoughtful of others and quick to laugh
You love adventure

and treat each day like a new one.

You still like pink.

And you love to be hugged, kissed and to climb on my lap.
Don't you ever stop. I love you Em!

Happy number 8 Miss E!!! Halfway to dating age AND driving age. Start asking to borrow the van now, just to practice for when you are old enough to need it. Have a great day and eat an extra piece of cake for me.

Happy Birthday, Emily. Love all the pictures your Mom posted today. Have lots of fun today. I know you were supposed to be baptized this afternoon. Is that still going to happen with all this bad weather? If so, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Aunt Shirley and Uncle David

Happy Birthday to a beautiful girl! You and my Aly would make great friends. How about you tell your Mom to bring you over so you can meet, and play together.
Have the best happy birthday ever. I loved seeing the pictures. Makes me feel like I know your little sweetie.
