Her day to Shine Because she is 9!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

It seems just yesterday I woke up bright and early anxious about going to the hospital to bring home my first babygirl. And today, growing more beautiful each day, you are turning Nine! How time flies and we have only just begun! Each day brings new challenges, but you have no problem addressing them head on. You are growing so much in your own personal relationship with Jesus and seem to be figuring out more each day what it means to walk closer to Him. You are a blessing, Emalee. I'll never forget the day before I went in to have you, daddy and I were sitting at dinner talking about what wonderful things the Lord was going to do with your precious life. I believe that more and more every day. You have such a heart for people. Lost people in particular. A heart for missions I believe. You are so sweet and loving and how I love to hear that giggle of yours! It is contagious!


This year has flown by...actually the last nine have! I love you sweet Noonie and I can't wait to see what the next nine years bring for you! You are precious in our sight, but even more precious in His! Stay close...and Happy Birthday!!!

Emalee designed the menu: Ham Sandwiches with Swiss cheese, potato chips, fresh fruit cup, and cupcakes with pink frosting and green dots....Perfect for a tea party! Not to forget the custom made photo albums with each guests name! Very creative Em!
