She makes us smile many times a day.
She is mama's meissie and papa's girl.
She is funny, caring, sweet, loving, smart, interesting, pretty, special.
She loves her babies, books, dogs, cats, monkeys, dancing, singing, drawing, skyping, family, friends, parties, shopping and "pretties".
She is always in for snuggling, giggling, walking, reading, tea parties, sushi, avocado, ice cream and tickling.
She is our baby girl, but she is turning two years old today....
And soon she will be the big sister.
We talked about how we wish we could put every face, stage, memory in a little box and keep it forever.
So here are some of them "boxed up".
Ayanna, we love you!
We are so proud of you and so thankful to be your parents.
You made us become a family, you give us joy daily.
We pray you stay your joyful funny self and will continue to love and care around you....
Happy birthday, Ayanna Ella. Let's party today!
