Happy 5th Birthday Sweet Girl

Dear Lilliana, 

Today is the day you have been waiting for so you can be "big and not take naps" anymore. When you crawled into bed with me this morning I thought in my head thankfully your sisters won't share a birthday with you at this point.  It has been 5 years, but feels like it was just yesterday. I pulled myself or more like rolled out of bed as huge as can be and it brought back all the memories of your birth. You came so fast, but your labor was the easiest so far. It kind of reminds me of how easy of a child you are. We have been blessed with your sweet spirit and wonderful attitude.

Your love of all things art and performing has brought so much animation to our lives I couldn't image life without it. While your brothers may not enjoy your constant singing and performing, inwardly I smile and giggle knowing you love to perform

I can't believe how responsible you have become in just a year.  You are going to be the best big sister. I know you can't wait to have more girls in the house. I know you will be my big helper and love your sisters so much. 

We are so blessed to have your sweet spirit in our home.  While it is hard watching you grow, I love the little girl you are becoming. I couldn't ask for anybody better. I love you!

Love,
Mom
