Dear Emily,

The big 11!! Where oh where are the years going? Emily it is so fun to watch you grow into this beautiful girl on the inside and out! You are our little spit fire but have a heart of gold. I am so proud of how respectful you are, I love your witty personality you give your dad and I quite the chuckle. You are a mini me of your father with your love of history and are always sharing random facts. I love that you are starting to have a love for books and shopping!  My favorite things about you are your personality, smile, big blue eyes, friendliness, loyalty, the example you are to your siblings, wittiness and your jokes! Happy Birthday Em!

Love, Mom
