Annie turns 7

I just love those big brown eyes and cute little nose of hers. Annie turned 7 on February 1st. I am in total shock over this. I think in my mind I know that Hallie is getting bigger and older but for some reason I think Annie will always be my little donk. But I guess she too will grow up.

Let me tell you about Annie...she is absolutely amazing. She is the first person to think of others. So many times she will tell me of stuff that she has done or is doing for our neighbors. It is adorable and our neighbors just love her for it. Annie is such a smart little girl and loves to read. I will always find her reading to her little brothers and sister. Even before she could actually read, she would memorize the words from when I read to her and then go read them to Barry.

Annie is very creative. She is always creating new pictures and crafts for everyone around her. And again, our neighbors probably have many of her creations. It is never enough for Annie to just draw a picture of make a craft, she is always doing it with someone in mind to give it to.

I love you so much donk. I am so amazed by the person that you are becoming and I am excited to see even more of who you will be as you grow. Keep loving everyone around you cause we sure love you. You are such an important part of our family...without you our home would be void of lots of laughing and love.

Love you mucho, mucho
