Sweet Alexa

This precious girl came into the world 8 years ago today. Words cannot express what she means to me. What she means to so many. People fall for her hard. And they should. There is truly no one else like her.

I brag about my kids. And I’m not the least bit sorry. They are amazing. And God made them that way.

Today is Alexa’s special day so I am going to brag on her even more than usual. These are just a few of the things that I love about her…

1. She is ALWAYS ready to have fun. ALWAYS. (Thank you sweet girl for our 50s dance parties when I should have been cooking dinner!).
2. She is so kind. And she works hard at it. Even when she doesn’t feel like it or when someone is unkind to her, she always tries to respond in kindness.
3. She sees the beauty in everything and reminds me to do the same.
4. She comes alongside and truly wants to help. She will do absolutely anything we ask her to do with NO complaining.
5. She is so creative. (She made a bathing suit and swim hat for her baby doll out of balloons!).
6. She is so thankful. She tries to tell me thank you at least 10 times a day. (No seriously. That is her daily goal. To say it 10 times)
7. She has all the energy. And she wants to use it. She plays hard every day.
8. She hates screens. I love that! I do too!!! The only reason we like movie night is because it’s an excuse to snuggle!
9. She is so relational. She wants to know her people as deeply as she can.
10. She is so teachable. She owns up to her mistakes and learns from them. She is always determined to do better next time.

I am so thankful to the Lord for giving us this precious baby girl. She brings so much laughter and joy to our lives. I am so proud of the little lady that she is becoming.

Happy Birthday Sweet Alexa! You are an actual treasure!
