Birthday Girl

Here are some pics from the orphanage that we received before we traveled in December 2008.

She looked so sad and lifeless in these pictures. But we were already in love with those adorable squeezable baby cheeks!

She had us fooled for a little bit.

But it didn't take long for her HUGE personality to come out.

And she hasn't stopped for a minute since she's been home :)

The smiles just kept on coming, really no matter what she was doing.

Those baby cheeks remained huggable and kissable and squeezable.  And just when you thought she couldn't get any more adorable, she got glasses.

Still smiling and almost always LAUGHING.

A beautiful princess indeed!

Happiest of birthdays to you baby girl.  You keep us laughing and smiling everyday of the year.

So blessed that I get to call you my daughter.
