EIGHT years of loving you. Happy Birthday to my beautiful Rayna Elyse! I cannot believe eight years have already flown by but what an absolute joy you are in my life. You radiate confidence, beauty, independence, and bravery like no other person I know. I pray you always hold on to these amazing traits. If there was one thing that defines you it would definitely be your effortless sense of humor and wit. There is never a dull moment with you and every single day you make me laugh with your jokes, sarcasm, or just the looks you give. I always tell you this but you are one of the funniest people I know and I know you love that title. Since you were a baby you have always had such a big personality! You are full of spunk, extremely smart, adventurous, fearless, and super affectionate. I love that you are a girly girl but at the same time you are not afraid to get dirty outside while catching anything that moves. You are the perfect mixture! At the age of eight you love jamming Taylor Swift (you are a major swiftie), playing outside, pranking people, showing off your gymnastic skills, makeup, all the accessories, creature catching, playing with your sister & friends, helping Daddy in the kitchen, and cuddles with Mommy. You are everyone’s friend and a social butterfly (your kindergarten teacher told me that once and you are proud of it). You make any excuse to get extra one on one time with me, all the piggyback rides with Daddy, and sleepovers with your sister any day of the week. I wish time would slow down but I absolutely love this age you are at. I am so proud of the beautiful little girl you have become and always remember there is only one of you and you are very special. I love you more than ketchup, cats, Taylor Swift, and sweets! I hope your day is as special as you are to me. I love you forever and always!
Mommy
