Happy Birthday Allie!!!

Allie is 4 years old today! We have had a great day celebrating. Allie is growing into such a sweet girl. I want to post a photo of each of her years so you can see how she has grown.

Here she is on her first Thanksgiving - still at the hospital. We missed out on the family gathering, but we had much to celebrate. God had given us another healthy baby girl. She weighed in at 8 lb. 10 oz.

This is Allie on her first birthday. She has always been bursting with smiles. By this time, we could see that she was definitely going to be a red head - she was growing some adorable red curls in back.

Here's Allie at two, affectionately known as "Allie-bear".

Here's Allie at three, just as precious as ever.


And here's our girl today, on her 4th birthday. These 4 years have gone by super fast. She is still our bundle of joy, just a bigger bundle. We thank God for her everyday. She loves to sing and dance and to take great care of her baby dolls - or any real baby who happens to come over. She is learning so much at preschool and she is such a sweet sister to her siblings and precious daughter who loves lots of hugs and cuddles. Happy birthday Allie!!!
