HAPPY BIRTHDAY AYVA!!!

3 YEARS OLD, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!

You are a blessing to us and we are honored to be your parents.

When you were born, we fell in love with you right away. You were a new experience and you made it so easy on us. You only cried if you started to get hungry or waking up from a nap.You slept through the night after a few weeks and you were an absolute stud on the long plane ride home to the states. People exiting the plane looked at us with shock and said, "I didn't even realize there was a baby on the plane." Everywhere we went people always commented on how adorable you are and still do and some even asked if I put a wig on you. You were born with a FULL head of red hair. 

You are very independent, always have been. You are always learning and seems to just come natural to you, you remember everything. You are very curious, always thinking and trying to figure things out. You surprise us everyday with the things that come out of your mouth. You make us laugh and are a light in our life. You absolutely adore animals, especially elephants and horses. Oh and I can't forget, you looooooooove Lightning McQueen. You love to go fishing with daddy and camping. You love apple juice, apple sauce, apples, cucumbers and white sauce and tacos.

What a privilege it has been and will be to be your mother!

I love you baby girl! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
