HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY

Today sweet amazing Annabel turned 5 years old! What an amazing miracle! She has defied all odds and gone against statistics and doctors! She is definitely "God's precious gift who is heaven sent".. I am so honored and privlidged to be here with her everyday! Annabel's birthday celebrations began when we woke her up for school this morning, she got sang happy birthday to by her sisters while she bathed and by Cathy and I just before she went to school, at school she was greeted by MANY birthday wishes and got to share cupcakes with her friends. Following school I took her to therapy where she recieved many more birthday wishes and got to do what she "wanted" to do instead of what the Ms C would normally have her do because, "hey a girl has to get her way on her birthday!" Then it was home for a nap and time to get ready for her big night. When the princess woke up and was dressed in her party dress the evening began, some close friends, therapists, teachers and family all came to celebrate the amazing miracle of Annabel turning 5! We had lots of yummy food, cake, and cookies, Bella of course got spoiled with lots of gifts, smiles, and hugs! She was so cute and fun all night! She loved being the center of attention, being sang to, being held by everyone, opening her presents, eating frosting, and she loved her balloons! Her long party day wore her out and she passed out the minute she hit her pillow (an hour past her bedtime!:)..) She really is an amazing miracle and now we tell her she is a "whole handful! No more putting fingers down". She has touched the lives of so many and it is because of thier prayers and faith that have helped her get this far. I love you my Beautiful Bella Bean! Thank you for changing my life and I can't wait to celebrate many more birthday's with you!
