Well, the time has finally come. We no longer have a 'baby' in the house! Our big-little girl has turned 5 years old. She is such a blessing in our home. Always smiling and blessing us with her even personality and temperament. She and Grace are the best of friends- many times reminding us of yesteryear when Ashley & Amanda were growing up as sweet little girls together. Laura loves bugs of any kind and, if missing, can most likely be found somewhere in the yard, flat on her tummy inspecting some creature or wild flower in the grass. She really likes baby dolls and ladybugs. We are so blessed that God allowed us this one last little one. She truly holds a special place in all our hearts.
Mama made Laura a dress & matching dress for her doll also!
It is such a blessing that she was so excited about such a little gift. We never regret the change we made many years back.. scaling way back on birthdays and gifts. We love to only give one gift and a special cake, made from the siblings and a choice of dinner, made by mama.
"look Grant!"
Now its time to open her dress
It doesn't take long before she is out to show us all her dress
...and thank mama
Ashley & Amanda made this lovely lemon meringue pie, at Laura's request.. Grant helps Ashley light the candles! The missing guest was brother Ryan who is, as I write, working long hours at his summer job. Glad it is only 5 weeks! We miss having him here for family times! :-)
Happy Birthday Laura Jean!!!! We LOVE you!
