Happy Birthday Savannah!

Dear Savannah,

Happy Birthday sweet girl! Just a few minutes ago, you were born. The most precious little gift, straight from God. An answer to your Mommy's prayers! Already loved so much!

Your Nono and I, are so excited. Over the moon! I do believe, I just heard him say, this was the greatest day of his life! :) Yes, you are one baby girl, that we've all been waiting for. Praying for. And right now, we've given you and your Mommy and Daddy, some much needed "bonding time." We know that you, as a family, need this time!

Today is your day. I'm sure your big brothers, are going to be so excited! They're at home sleeping. Waiting to hear, about their new baby sister! From this day forward, I know a solid group of people, already love you so! Happy Birthday! I can't wait, to see what life has in store for you!

Love,
Your Nana♥

Happy Birthday Abby!

Dear Abby,

Happy 2nd Birthday! Today, you and Robbie, turn 2. It's a BIG deal! Your Nono and I, can't stop smiling. To know, that you are growing up, to be the best little girl!

There's not a day, that goes by, when I don't think of you. When a smile makes it's way, to my lips. When I don't miss your "baaffly kisses." Or your little whispers, in my ear. Yes, I miss all those things!

But it's been a thrill, watching you grow. In 2 years, you've changed so much! Become more, and more loving. Much more independent. Wanting to do so much, all by yourself. Everything from making your bed, to tying your shoes. :)

You absolutely melt my heart, with your big "squeezes." And great big smiles! How you chase around butterflies. And wonder about everything in life. Wonder why the sky is blue. And marshmallows are white. Why the puppy, likes to sleep under Nono's desk. And why you can see me, in the computer. :)

Sweet Abby, you just make my heart sing. Every single time, you put on my high heels, and "tot around." When you hold tight, to my finger. And nuzzle into my neck, as you fall asleep. I just LOVE watching how excited you get, over "cuppy cakes." And how you ALWAYS grab for your baby, and your favorite book.

Today is a very special day. A day when you become a "Big Girl." You're not a baby. And I know, that your Mommy, is a little sad about that. So am I. But it's so magical, to watch you grow so big! I can't wait, to see what's in your future. And how you become, an amazing "Big Girl."

Happy Birthday Abby! I hope that you and Robbie, have an AMAZING DAY! I LOVE YOU SO!!! And wish that I could be there, with you, today. Have lots of fun! And enjoy your day. :)

Love,
Your Nana♥

Happy Birthday Maribel!

Dear Maribel,

Happy Birthday sweet girl! Today, you are 5 years old. Such a big girl! A sweet little girl, that is spreading all of your love, to all of us. Us very lucky people.

What a blessing it's been. These 5 years. To be part of your life. To know, that in some small way, I'm helping to guide you, in life. I will always be grateful to your Mommy and Daddy, for giving me this chance. For giving your Nono, and I, this chance.

My entire heart, lights up, when I'm around you. When we curl up, with your books. To read about far away lands. And all the time, we spend playing with your dollies. The many tea parties that we've had. It's time, that I will ALWAYS cherish!

It's such a blessing, to spend this time with you. To warm my heart, with all of your love. To watch, as you grow, into a "Big Girl." The joy, that you spread, with your music and dancing. Maribel, you are such a sweet girl!

Today, I can't be there with you. But know, that I'm ALWAYS in your heart. And soul. That your Nana will ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!! And you can ALWAYS count on me. Have a Happy 5th Birthday! Filled with all your wishes, come true! :)

Love,
Your Nana♥

Happy Birthday Cari!

Dear Cari Bear,

Happy Birthday! I'm in shock, that today, you are officially a teenager!!! This is such a BIG day! And I wish I was there. To tell you in person, just how much I LOVE YOU! To give you a GREAT BIG HUG! And to tell you, how very PROUD I am of you! Cari Bear, you are phenomenal!

I still remember you. When you were little. Going to work with your Daddy. Watching everything around you. So quiet. But taking in the world. Learning so much. Growing. In mind, body, and spirit. Already, on your way, to becoming this amazing soul!

Life has not always been easy to you. But God has a special path, planned out just for you. A special place in life. To do remarkable things. He has blessed you, with such a loving, kind, and gentle Daddy. One that LOVES YOU, more than life itself. Don't ever forget that!

You are absolutely, the sweetest girl, that I know. The kindest soul, that I've ever met. You are a very special girl. And all those, that have the honor of being in your life, know this. We are the blessed ones!

My heart is bursting with LOVE for you! I want you to know that. You can ALWAYS count on me. Your Nono. And your Daddy. Sweet girl, I pray that your life is blessed with happiness, love, success, dreams coming true, and with God's Blessings. I LOVE YOU! Happy 13th Birthday Cari Bear!

Love,
Your Nana♥

Happy Birthday Daniella!

Dear Daniella,

Happy Birthday! Sweet girl, you are getting so big! I'm so happy, that I get to be part of your life. That I get to watch you grow. It's been such a blessing, to be a part of your life. To be able to play dress up, "doctor" your babies, and read all those books that you love!

I still think about the very first time, I got to meet you. Such a precious baby. Who opened her little eyes, when I first held, and talked to you. It melted my heart. And from that day forward, I always knew, that you would hold, a very special place in my heart.

There are certain days, that you just know, will change your life forever. 3 years ago, today, I knew that it was one of those days. Getting to be a part of your life, has been such a blessing. And so rewarding. I'm glad, that I get to be here. To help shape the person you are becoming.

Time is just flying by. A few years ago, your Mommy and me, were helping you toddle around. These days, you're making me peanut butter sammies. Giving me lots of kisses. And showing me, how you tie your shoes. Sweet girl, you are amazing!

Happy 3rd Birthday! Sweet girl, I can't wait to get back, so that we can celebrate. I see lots of cupcakes, pizza, and presents in our near future. Love you lots!

Love,
Your Nana♥

Happy Birthday Baby Jellybean!

Dear Baby Jellybean,

Happy 1st Birthday! I can't believe, that it's already been a year, since you were born. What a magical day that was. You surprised us all. Waiting until you were ready. Not caring, that the rest of us, were anxious about your arrival.

But it was an amazing day! The day that you were born. You blessed so many lives. Especially your Mommy and Daddy's. Of course, your Nono and I, are so excited too! Every time that I see you, I'm greeted with the biggest smile! And it just melts my heart.

I never realized, just how much, one little girl could change my life. Forever! How much love, you can give, to everyone around you. How much joy you share, with everyone you meet. It makes life, feel so magical!

My life is definitely more "colorful" because of you. And I just don't mean by your fun room, and your "style." But because your spirit is s bright! I feel that God made you so very special, to make the world, a better place. We're all so lucky, to be a part of your world!

It's just the beginning. Today marks your first year. We have a complete lifetime, to spend together. And I thank God, and your parents for that. I pray that your birthday is so special! That God blesses you in the coming year. And that he guides you, as you grow. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Love,
Your Nana♥
