I’ll be cliche…it seems like it was just yesterday when we…

met you.

I hold onto those precious memories so tightly, I sometimes worry if I will squeeze the joy out of them.

*You* are pure joy. Even in your sassiest moments (and lord knows, you have plenty of those), we can’t help but to smile… 

That giant image above will join the other two canvases from here and here. I feel so blessed that you’ve allowed me to create this tradition and I hope you’ll continue to humor me for at least another couple of years ;-). (Oh, and let’s be sure to thank Daddy for snapping some of just you and I together ;-).

You are the most beautiful person I’ve ever met. You have more love in your heart than I’ve ever seen. You are clever, and intelligent, and witty, and creative, and brave. How did we get so lucky, Amry? Why did you choose our family? It is such an incredible honor to be your mother. I don’t think you’ll ever comprehend how much you made our dreams come true. I love you and I wish you the happiest birthday in the world, my princess.
