4 years old!

Today my baby turns 4!  Jacob and I were blessed with the most beautiful, kind and loving daughter anyone could ask for.  Emma shows so much concern and compassion to those around her.  Her love for others radiates from her.  Emma is very soft spoken but very opinionated. She's independent but still needs her mommy sometimes. I love the morning snuggles and kisses I get from a happy girl every morning.  I hope they continue into her teenage years (but I won't hold my breath). 

It's so wonderful to have Emma as a daughter and a friend. She has a sweet and simple testimony of Jesus Christ that is consistently shown through her actions towards others. Emma is a wonderful example to her little sister of how to share, how to eat at the table, how to fold your arms for prayer and so many other things.  Emma, you are truly a beloved daughter of our Heavenly Father.  He loves you even more than I do which I don't understand how that could happen.  You bring happiness and laughter everyday.  Always remember that you are a child of God like you told me the other day while cooking dinner.  I am humbled and honored to be your mommy.  I loved you before you were born and that love continues to grow with each passing day.  I honestly don't know what I would do without you.  You help me in so many ways and I am so grateful for that.  Always keep your head held high and know that you can do anything if you are willing to put in the work.  Love Eternally: Mom
