Thankful for our 7 Year Old!

Today has been a very special day around our house because we not only got to celebrate Thanksgiving at home with my parents and grandfather but we also got to celebrate our oldest, Kaylee, turning 7!! It was so fitting that her Birthday falls on Thanksgiving every few years because she has given us so much to be Thankful for. Some of the best times of our life started with her birth and have continued each year. We are so blessed to have a healthy, funny, intelligent, beautiful daughter who loves others and the Lord with all of her heart. She is a joy to our life each day and I love to see her mind at work contemplating different situations and the way you embrace each day with everything you have in you. You light up our life and we love you so much!

I am going to list 7 Things about Kaylee:

1. She has a smile that will light up a room and definitely put me in a better mood if I am having a challenging day. Her laugh is infectious too.

2. She loves Bible class and school, anything that has to do with learning. There is not a teacher that is not your favorite or a subject for that matter. You love to read and so far have not picked up a book that you do not love!

3. She is a loyal friend and will call each of them her best friend. She does not play favorites and includes everyone.

4. She is very tenderhearted and loving after getting past her shyness.

5. She likes to be aware of new situations and what to expect.

6. She still can remember things that occurred when she was two years old. If I have ever forgotten anything I just have to ask her. My little sponge:-)

7. She loves her family and is happiest when we are all doing something together.

How sad and wonderful at the same time. I am sad the years are flying by but happy that she is growing into such a wonderful child.

Thank you for giving us so much to be "thankful" for every day but especially today! We love you to the moon and back!
