How do I tell you how I feel? Do I write a poem? Do I write all the words and the memories and the sayings and the things that come flooding to my mind? I’ve tried. I typed it. I paused. I deleted. Is there another language that has the word? I’ll try again.
Type. I love celebrating the day you two were born. Pause. Type. Fay.
You are so smart! A little space-cadet-y, dad would say. You forget your backpack a lot. Pause. Type. But you make me smile. You’re curious in all the best ways. You love learning about everything. If I don’t know the answers dad does. And if dad doesn’t, thank goodness for Siri. You’re good. You’re kind and sweet and pure. I hope you stay that way. You have a lot of sass! Daddy’s friend calls it “Hannahtude.” You’re are so great with Leo. I love watching you play with him. I love when you and sis get along. Pause.
Type. Eden.
You’ve always been my little tender-hearted girl. You always know when I need an extra hug. Pause. Type. I worry a lot. I’m one of those worrying moms. Sometimes I worry about your fragile heart. Pause. Type. I love when you read your Gerald and Piggie books to me. You are so good and reading the intonations of each character. I love that you’re not afraid to be yourself. I thought you were my shy girl, but OH how you’ve grown out of that! You’re a clever little thing. Smart. And definitely sassy too. We’re working on that. 😉 I love watching you with Leo too.
I love that you have way too many stuffies. I love how brave and fearless you are. I love how much you love horses. I love watching you swim. I love hearing you talk about Spy Club. I love how much you love your daddy and how much you love your little brother. Dang it. You’re growing so fast. But you’re growing so well. I love you, my little rockstars.

Please notice that my own reflection is photobombing the above image.
The biggest thank you ever goes to my hubby for putting up with my party crazies! He built a stage in our living room as per request. He was so on board with this! I love how supportive he is of my craziness. Thank you, babe, for ALL your help with this party.
Nicole. Nicole folks! Thank you, Nicole, for yet another incredible cake. Always so delicious and so beautiful.
Thank you, Megan, for being my fellow party-lover! For shopping with me and for being excited with me. Thank you for letting us borrow the disco balls! Whoop whoop!
Thank you, Cassi, for bringing your fun energy and helping me decorate! You da bomb.
Thank you, Emma and mom, for being my helping hands at the party.
