HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY HAVEN!!!

Today is our little princess' 3rd Birthday!! Can you believe it!! She has brought such joy to our lives and much laughter too! On our trip here, in the hotel rooms, the curtains are very thick so in the morning, our room was still very dark. One morning, Haven went over and pulled back the curtain to see the morning sunshine and so excitedly said "Look, it's a new day!!" Everyday since then, when she gets up in the mornings, she says "Sure is a new day.....see!" Just precious!!

A lot has happened in Haven's little life this year so here is my tribute to the past year for Haven........

A trip to Gatlinburg........

Her first plane ride.........to the wonderful world of Disney.....a trip of a lifetime

........with lots of hugs from our Disney friends!

Fun at the baseball games with Allie Scott............

Camping trips at Point Mallard with the Richardsons, complete with her first time to ice skate......whoops!!!!

Fun at Alabama Adventure with Sydney, Parker, Jeff and Denise (Mike's brother's family)...........

Trip to Cuthbert, GA, to Aunt Gail's house for the Hayes Family Reunion..............(these are all Mike's cousins and brother's children)

And of course, having to leave some very special friends behind.....

We celebrated Haven's birthday before we moved in Gordo at Emmanuel Baptist Church. All of our family came to celebrate with Haven. (Hope she's not too disappointed to not have any presents to open today!) Below, she is with her cousin, Princess Chloe who is also 3 (Lori's brother Mike's daughter)

You are growing up way too fast my daughter!! We love you bunches and hope you will always feel how special you are to all of us! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I also want to wish a special Happy "Late" Birthday to two special people in our kids lives......Their cousin Hallie Richardson (Lori's brother Kerry's daughter)turned 9 years old on Oct 28th.......

And one of Landon's best friends, Devyn Tankersley, turned 8 on October 17th!
