Happy 6th birthday Annabelle!
I cannot believe our little Annabelle is now 6 yrs. old. Where does the time go? It really amazes me that I have had Annie in my life for 5 years and yet it seems like yesterday I held her for the first time. She is the most special of gifts I have ever been given. I thank God daily for this precious girl. I remember every moment of our time in china when she became our daughter forever.
She has grown so much but she has never lost that sparkle and joy for life. I have said it before, Annabelle is the absolute picture of Joy! She is just the happiest kid I have ever met. She takes life on everyday with a smile and a good laugh. She reminds me daily that life should be a blast. I am told often by people who meet her that her laugh just makes them smile. It is so true. So Happy Birthday my sweet, joyful girl. Always know that you are loved beyond measure and you make the world a better place just by being who you are. I will never forget the day I first layed eyes on you in Wuhan, China and I fully realized the miracle of adoption and God's amazing plan for your life.


For Annie's birthday we had to do something totally girly. So she had a make-up and Tea Party with 8 of her girlfriends. First she had her hair all done up and then when the girls arrived they all had their nails done and got dressed up and danced, had contests and went to the Tea Party! It was a blast for all of them. And it turns out Annabelle is the most amazing Hula- Hoop girl. That girl can swivel those tiny hips!! Enjoy the photos!
