Kaylee at Four!


Today is Kaylee's 5th Birthday!! I cannot believe that the Lord has blessed us with 5 wonderful years with our big girl. The time has passed so quickly. My heart is so full of pride and love for the special person you have become. Each day I see your sweet spirit towards others, love for the Lord, and the amazing job you do as big sister. Here are a few of my favorite things about you right now...

* You want to be everyone's friend and for everyone to be your friend.
* Each day is wonderful to you especially if it is a school day.
* One day at school you told your teacher that you were sorry the other children did not understand what she was trying to explain.
* You cannot leave school without giving Mrs. Becky a big hug:)
* One day Mrs. Gayla took you to school and you were sure to tell her that you had to say "Hi" to your friends in the two year old class. Mrs. Gayla told you how proud she was of you for having all ages of friends. You then informed her that you even had old friends like her. (Mrs. Gayla is around my Mom's age)
* You like to have a plan ahead of time...very routine girl. You prefer one that involves getting out of the house.
* Every morning you are so excited to see your sister that you would think the two of you had been apart for days.
* You are always trying to teach your sister new words. It is evident already the love the two of you have for each other. Campbell definitely has a good example to follow.
* Your smile lights up any room.
* If your sister cries you are there to comfort her.
* Bible class is your favorite place to be. On the way home from church we always get the whole Bible story. Sometimes I think you know more about the Bible than me.
* You do not miss a beat. You even tell about things that happened when you were three years old with great accuracy.
* Everyone is your Best Friend.
* The most upsetting thing in the world to you is to see blood, even if it is just a prick.
* You love to play games of any kind. Right now your favorites are UNO, Disney Monopoly JR, and Memory.
* You are happiest with a plain piece of paper and something to color with. You are a super artist.
* You are very interested in learning to read and spell words correctly.
* The joy you have for all holidays is a treasure.
* The sweet prayers you say each day which reminds us to be thankful for the simple things.
* You love your family and tell us so several times a day. We love it!

We all love you sweet girl! Happy 5th Birthday! You are a great blessing to our lives each day:) May all your wishes come true.
