Thankful for Today!

I am so thankful every year for August 11. 7 years ago my precious daughter, Jada, was born. It is truly a miracle that she is here with us today and is celebrating her 7th birthday. I previously posted the story of how she was brought into this world and her struggle to make it through each day. I am thankful I got to wake up to her beautiful smile this morning...she brightens my day!


Last night when she was asleep we put balloons in her room for her to wake up to. I got that idea out of a magazine and Jada loved it. She was so excited! After fixing her favorite breakfast she decided from several options what she wanted to do. She chose to go to the scrapbook store and get things for her new scrapbook. YEAH! It was a fun scrapbook day together. She wore her birthday princess hat everywhere today. She has had it since her first birthday and we always take her picture wearing it every year.

When she was finished scrap booking, my son Skyler, escorted her to another room where we had a little fun surprise. We had is set up like a boutique, with all her dress up clothes and dolls all around. Skyler served her a snack while I painted her toenails and finger nails. This was a special day with her family. Saturday she will be having a pool party with a few girls from church! I am thankful for my baby girl!!!
