Happy Birthday, Little Angel!

Denae Alysse, my little angel. You have brought so much joy to your mommy and daddy. You are definitly the "baby" of the bunch, and you learned early on how to get what you wanted. You are our Diva. You make us laugh with your silly antics and you love to be the center of attention at home. With others, you can play hard to get, but you still manage to wrap everyone around your finger. You are precious and precocious, a bundle of joy and of energy. I love it when you snuggle close with your blanket, but those moments are getting more scarce as you have discovered your 'independence.' I enjoy watching you play with your brother and sisters. You just know you are big enough to do everything they do. You already figured out how to drive the Gator and are getting frustrated by those 2 wheel bikes that just won't stay up. You would play outside all day if you could. That comes from your "country" roots. Your imagination is really delveloping and you are a wonderful 'mommy' to your babies. You love to sing and will sing along even when you have never heard the song before. You love to pray. The other night in church, during alter call, you laid under the pew talking for a few minutes, then told me you "talk 'a Jesus." I am so grateful that God has already placed a desire in your heart for a relationship with Him. As the years go by, faster and faster all the time, I am amazed to see how much you have already changed from a baby into a "little girl." I know I still have many years to enjoy your childhood, and I plan to do just that, but oh, somedays I wish I could hold you a little longer, even as you wiggle down to play. What a great life you have ahead of you. Your mommy is so grateful to get to go on that journey with you. We love you bunches and bunches, Little Angel.
