She said, “Mom, I’m just so excited for my birthday I can’t stand it anymore.”

It seems like we’ve been talking about this birthday for a while now, when she would turn 8 and get baptized. I just can’t believe it’s already here. So in honor of her birthday I will share with you 8 things that I simply love about her.

1. She always puts others first.
2. She has a strong desire to do what’s right.
3. She loves her family (she loves that she has 2 sisters).
4. She has an endearing relationship with her Father in Heaven and gets teary whenever we talk about prayer.
5. She loves watching cooking shows…her favorite is Everyday Italian.
6. She’s an amazing little violinist.
7. She really loves to learn anything…she especially loves to read.
8. She’s a girl who needs time to herself and is not ashamed to ask for it.

Happy Birthday Bella!
I have been amazed, watching you these last several years, at the wonderful girl you have become. I remember when you were 3 years old and afraid of almost everything and now you’re a girl eager to experience life. May you always be as happy as you are today. I love.
