Happy Birthday Emma!

Our "big" little girl turns the big #5 tomorrow. (Holy Cow) We'll be in Mesa at my brother's wedding, so I'll post this today. 5 Reasons why Emma is special:




1. Emma has unconditional love for everyone in her life. She has never met a stranger and makes it her mission to help everyone around her be happy.




2. Emma is the BEST big sister any child ever had. She works hard all day long to ensure that both of her brothers are content & entertained. Emma tries hard to be a good example and is very good at putting her brothers' happiness before her own.




3. Emma gives the most amazing hugs, and usually attacks you the moment she sees you with a hug that seems to warm your entire soul. When we go places, I have people ask me where Emma is so that they can get hugs from her.




4. Emma goes at 60 miles an hour all day long. She runs, plays, sings, and even thinks at top speed all the time. But that means that she spreads love & enthusiasm at that same amazing rate. Emma can brighten a room in a matter of seconds!




5. That smile! There's nothing in the world like an Emma grin. Like a friend once said "She smiles with her whole body." I'd do just about anything in the world to see her smile.




Happy Birthday Big Girl!

We Love You!

I hope that you keep this list long enough for Emma to truly appreciate what a special girl she is!
Just goes to show what a smile and a hug can do for this world...
