Makenna Nicole is 12 Years Old!

Back in the day, having a baby due shortly after the first of the year was an extra blessing.  

You know that let-down after Christmas?  

Not a thing when you are awaiting the arrival of a precious baby!

But now . . . now I just get to look forward to little girls who just keep getting older ~ 

two in the first two months of the year.  

That is too much for this mama heart.

Alas, here we are.

Miss Makenna is 12 years old today.

~ Makenna ~ 

* You are the wittiest child!

You always have been.

The things that come out of your mouth, still never cease to amaze me.

I always say that I need to devote an entire blog to your musings.

* You are fiercely truthful and faithful.

You hold tight to what is right.

And you have no tolerance for injustice.

*You are a wonderful teacher.

You love to nurture and watch others grow.

*You are super crafty!

You have unlimited patience when it comes to learning something new.

And you try, try again if it's a skill worth learning to you.

*You are probably the most like your mama out of all of your sisters.
People don't always get our quirky ways.
But that's okay.

*You can get your feelings hurt very easily,

but you put so much energy and effort into loving others.

*You bring us so much joy each and every day.

Happy 12th Birthday, Makenna Nicole!
