seven

you are...


and you are a beautiful little girl inside and out.


you are independent and wonderful helper to our family...


you have a vivid imagination and love all things magical...especially fairies and reindeer.


and you are always happy.  always.


these past seven years have gone by faster than i can even process, but you've grown into the sweetest little first grader that i could've ever imagined.


you enjoy things...like we all should.  you're never in a hurry, which i'll admit makes me crazy.


but, sometimes i think that God gave you to me for that reason.  i'm not the best at stopping to smell the roses or always jumping in the puddles, but you are teaching me.  i am learning.


you just started taking tumbling and you love it.  you are in girl scouts this year too.  i figured that was a good match for my little nature girl :)


you are a wonderful blessing to our family and we love you to pieces.  my birthday wish for you is a life filled with happiness, love, and magic :)  if you look close enough, there's a little magic in everything...
