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
