Miss O Turns 5!

I so very nearly almost typed Miss O Turns 3 for the title.  How is it that she's 5?  It just doesn't seem possible.

For her birthday, Miss O requested a trip to the zoo...specifically because she likes the gift store.  =)

She loved the animals.

We had fun taking silly pictures....

All to celebrate you, Miss O!  You are truly a gift!!

At the gift store, you picked out a mask.  You originally chose the giraffe and picked out the monkey for N.  But, when we gave it to him, he was upset because he wanted the giraffe, and you quickly gave him yours.  This is you, O.  You are always so generous.  Our little peacemaker.

Miss M and H gave you this beautiful Rapunzel wig.  It looks so pretty on you!

You had to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house to show it off!

Later at our family birthday party, you got a special bridal veil and gloves.

And the Rapunzel baby you've been asking for for months!  (Thanks G and G!)

It was so much fun celebrating your life.  You are truly, truly a gift from the LORD.  You are silly and kind.  You love to sing loud songs - mostly to the LORD.  You sing how amazing He is, how much you love Him, how holy He is.  You also sing a song your "husBAND" wrote to you about how much he loves you and how beautiful you are.  ;)  You give us joy - actually, you bring joy wherever you go.  You are my sunshine girl.  I love you more than I could ever express.  Thank You, Father, for blessing us with O.  For giving us 5 wonderful years with her.  I pray we'd have many, many more together and for all eternity with You.  In Jesus' Name, Amen
