This post is late, but not because I forgot your birthday! Art Shows, Open Houses, Teacher Conferences and things of that nature got in the way.
You are such a great, young lady. It kills me to call you a "young lady" but there's no way else to describe you at this point in your life. You are no longer that chubby cheeked, curly headed little girl who loved to blow bubbles out in the driveway.
You are no longer the little girl who loved to cuddle for hours with any family member. (Although, you still do like a good cuddle!)
You are no longer the little girl that people could easily pick up!
You are no longer our petite ballerina dancer.
What are you -
You are our tall, blond-haired young lady who has a great heart. You are tall and graceful.
You are our tall basketball player! (Go Shock!)
You are still our beautiful dancer.
You are a lover of all animals - but especially our Emmy Dog!
You are a great friend to those who respect you enough to be a great friend back.
You are a lover of little kids, and they love you!
You are a great big sister who loves her brother unconditionally. You put up with all his Star Wars babble. When we ask you to help us out and watch/play with you, you jump in with all you have.
You are a great daughter.
We love you.
Happy 11th Birthday, Emily!
