Why Mommy loves me: Because you bring a lot of fun into our family! Your voices and accents you do crack us up, we love hearing you play and learn your ukelele, you are so encouraging in the stands at your siblings games AND on the court of your own game (or meet), you take forever to do math, you invite as many friends as you can to Wyldlife and FCA, you stand up for what you know is right, you try to make sure everyone has a partner or a friend, you ask a million questions, you are seeking after God and trying to please Him with your choices, you pray for others on a regular basis, you are still - after 12 years - hot or cold - there is no in between. You still love to snuggle your Mam and have Daddy and I kiss you goodnight, even though you think you may be getting too old for it - we are glad you are not! We love you Bugga!!! Happy 12th Birthday!
