5

Our Audrey Lynn is 5 tomorrow.

I know, I can't believe it either.

Our sweet girl who is a friend to all, who has generously opened her home and heart to little friends since she was 6 months old, who has a genuine love for people...

Our adventurous girl who loves to try new, exciting things and yet can wait very patiently for her age, who still has so much childhood innocence pouring from her...

Our smart girl who loves school and learning and makes us proud every day with the things she knows and the manners she exhibits...

Our girl who loves all things fancy, glittery, and sparkling, and yet is aware of the generous blessings we have been given compared to most around the world...

Our girl who loves to be funny and laugh herself silly, who loves to perform every day, who has a deep appreciation for tv and games and music, and who would rather get up early to start her day than stay in bed laying around...

Our girl who has been the most incredible big sister who has ever lived.period...

Our girl who is overflowing with kindness and tender-heartedness every day to each and every one of us, who sees a need for a hug or a sweet word or a booboo bunny and acts fast...

Our girl who is big enough for sleepovers and play makeup and stick-on earrings and listening to her own music and brushing her own teeth and dressing herself...

Our little girl who is not a baby anymore, who will be going to Kindergarten in 6 short months...

 These birthdays are getting harder and harder for me!

I love you so much, Audrey Lynn...our angel birthday girl.
