Times Flies

It seems like just yesterday that we brought this tiny, sweet, kissable little bundle of joy home from the hospital.  

And in the blink of an eye she has grown into a beautiful, sweet, opinionated, independent, lovable little two year old who can hold her own and isn't afraid to let everyone know what she thinks.

We started the morning with Birthday Biscuits because what better way is there to start it?

We love you so much Lauralee.  You are such a blessing and you amaze us every day.  

- You are so caring and full of love and compassion.  

-When Daddy leaves for work in the morning you give him a hug and a kiss and say, "Be careful Daddy!"  Then you wave to him from the big window in the living room until he is out of sight.

- You are tough.  You can hold your own, you can take a hit and keep on going...probably goes along with having a big brother.  But at the same time you are really sensitive and you truly care about everyone around you.  You worry when you hear a child crying.  You are always the first one there to kiss a boo-boo or offer a hug.

- You tell us you are ready to take a nap, give all of us happy nap hugs and kisses and then head to bed.  

- You are SO independent.  You can do so much for someone so little.

-  You are a dare devil.

- You call Hogan, "Brodder", never Hogan, always, "Brodder".  I love it.

-  You take really good care of your baby dolls.  You feed them, dress them, put them down for naps and make sure we are all quiet, take them for walks in the stroller, change their diapers, and take them shopping to buy cookies.

-  You love to play dress-up.  You have tons of pretty little dresses to choose from but Spider Man always trumps them all.

-  When you get mad you can throw a fit like none other.  When you get really annoyed with us you "blow raspberries" at us with an angry expression on your face. 

-  When you are happy you light up the room with your smile and your laugh fills my heart with joy.

-  You love to help me cook, wash dishes, vaccum, sweep... don't forget that when your older :)

-  You are fun!

You are so special, so important, so beautiful, so smart, so kind, so loving, and such a gift to our family.  You are loved more than words can say.
