Alexa's Big Day

Alexa Grace I can't believe that you are 5 today!!! It seems like just yesterday I was holding you with tears in my eyes because I was so amazed at what a precious gift God had given us. I would stare at your beautiful little face and tiny hands and feet and just wonder what life was going to be like with our sweet baby girl!! Alexa there are countless things that I love about you but here are just a few .....

I love your sweet, gentle spirit

I love the way you giggle when daddy tickles you

I love the way you cuddle up with me to read books .... we could read books for hours

I love what a wonderful big sister you are

I love the way you are always trying to make a new friend no matter where we go

I love the competitive spirit I see in you when we play Memory

I love the way you could sit and color and do projects for hours

I love to watch you dress up and pretend you are a princess

I love to listen to you and Emma pretending to be mommy and baby

I love it that you want to be a soccer girl, a teacher, a girl who helps kids read and a mommy when you grow up

I love the way you cuddle on the couch with Shane and Emma

I love the way your eyes light up when you get to go on a date with daddy

I love the way you tell Jesus "thank you for this great day" every day .... I don't think you've ever had a bad day

Alexa you may be growing up but you will always be my sweet baby girl.

Happy Birthday!

I love you!

Mommy
