happy birthday to you, sweet alaina jean! six years ago you came into this world....and still you are one of the greatest joys of my life (always will be!) ;-) even then you didn't have any teeth...ha, ha!!

oh my sweet, sweet girl we love you so much and are so excited to celebrate your birthday with you. to be six years old is a big task....but you have already done so many things. you are reading, you are missing teeth, you are swimming in the deep end of the pool...what else.....i know there is a lot more, but we can talk about it later. i am so very proud of you lainey. you are our sweet and gentle, blue eyed, blonde haired girl with all the frills ;-) you have your own sense of style that is full of glitz and glam. we also love that we get to celebrate it with you in hawaii! breakfast in bed with the ocean right outside your window....pretty darn awesome! you may not understand the greatness of that, but we will be sure to remind you. you are a blessed little girl and we are even more blessed because you are our daughter! we love you so much! happy birthday ;-)
