My Sweet, Sweet Girl...Happy Birthday

I can't explain it. 

I can't even write it.

The love, the joy this little girl brings me is beyond words. 

I love, love, love being her mom. 

She makes me laugh. 

Her energy is amazing.

She is a sweet hearted & full of love.

She's thoughtful.

She's warm. 

She's strong, yet sensitive.

She loves her family and isn't afraid to show it.

She has a place in her heart for animals. 

She's just great.

 I love her so much.

Happy Birthday
my sweet girl
xoxo
