Dear Peyton,

My Darling little love,
It's the night before your birthday and we are back here again, but this time you are turning 4.

My goodness, you are growing so fast. I am so proud of the girl you are becoming. Your sassy attitude, which I'm sure will be an issue later, keeps me laughing. You are incredibly sweet and touch the hearts of everyone around you. I love hearing your stories, which change as you come up with each part. Your imagination shocks me. I hope you never dull the shine you have when it comes to your imagination. 

Over the last year you have grown from a toddler to a little girl and I am so very proud of you. Watching you learn and grow amazes me everyday. This year you learned how to write your name and are working on mastering the rest of your letters. I hope that you keep your eagerness for learning. I love hearing, "Mama, look at what I can do..."
You have a love of the Lord and I absolutely looove hearing your prayers, they can go off on a tangent, but you are sure to make sure cover everyone. We had some loss this year, we said goodbye to our May girl and the grief was hard, but your steadfast faith helped pull us through. We had some big joys too. We got a house of our own and get to share it with Triggy. We had some amazing trips, including Disney World.
You are my amazing girl and everyday I love you more than I did before.
All the time we say, "Love you all the way to the moon and back, always and forever, to infinity and beyond."
I am so proud of you and can't wait for another amazing year with you!

Love,
Mommy

Thanksgiving 2014

We had a great Thanksgiving with lunch at Nana's with the family. We only snapped a few pictures because we were visiting and having fun. Jill and I finished Thanksgiving with our annual midnight shopping excursion. 

This is a great picture to sum up their personalities.
