Sarah is Six!


Happy Belated Birthday, sweet girl! We are so amazed at how fast our precious daughter is growing. She is such a joy to us. Here are a few things that I want to always remember about my now six year old daughter:

-You love anything sweet.....doesn't matter what it is, if it has sugar or chocolate in it, you devour it right away! I am convinced that you are going to be a pastry chef one day:)
-You love to laugh and your laugh is unforgettable......especially when daddy tickles you incessantly!
-You love books and love to be read to....especially at bedtime....and now that you are reading, mommy enjoys hearing you read, too!
-You love your kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Thirey, and your mommy wishes you could stay in kindergarten forever!
-You love the outdoors.....you don't mind getting dirty and are fascinated by bugs or anything that is small and crawls outside
- You do not like dogs .....we are definitely going to need to work on that one.....not sure where the fear originated, but you can't be afraid of man's best friend!
-You are very imaginative.....you always seem to come up with something to do
-You are a great big sister to your little brothers....you love on them and love to boss them around (so far, they don't mind it too much, but I know the day is coming when that will all change!)
-You love to make necklaces....definitely inspired by your Aunt Joy's love of jewelry-making
-You love to paint and draw and make beautiful rainbows, flowers and people
-You love to listen to the same praise CD in the morning on the way to school...especially the song "You are Amazing God"
-Your best friend is your little brother Luke....you guys are still inseparable
-You love to be girly and put on pretty dresses, wear necklaces and paint your fingernails
-You love to make messes in your room.....definitely a result of your "imaginative" little mind (at least that is what mommy tells herself after asking you 100 times to clean up your room!)
-You love to swim and can't wait for summer to start so that you can swim all the time
-You still love anything princess related.....your favorite is Sleeping Beauty
- You love pink and "sparkly" colors and love to play with your dollhouse and dress and undress your AG dolls
-You have always measured in the 75-90 percentile in height....mommy is hoping you are taller than her one day...she is keeping her fingers crossed!! The doctors predict for you to be around 5 feet 8 inches tall.....only time will tell!
-You have already lost a total of 4 teeth by your 6th birthday, and you lost the 5th tooth 3 weeks later! Mommy pulled 3 and Papa pulled one, too:)
-You always seem to have bruises on your legs somehow.....either from running into something or rough-housing with daddy and your brothers!
-You are a joy to your mommy and daddy and all your family:)

We love you more than you can fathom!! Can't wait to see what God has in store for you this next year:) Happy Birthday, beautiful Sarah Anne!!

Sweet Sarah,

It is hard to realize that it has been six years since you were born - our first grandchild. We love you more each day, and enjoy so much the time we spend with you and your brothers. We love your special voice and awesome laugh, your curiosity about the world(especially creepy crawly things!),your enthusiasm for all things sweet, and so much more. Most of all, we love the way you love the Lord and the Bible.
Happy 6th birthday!

Much love,
Gramie and Papa
