Happy Birthday Rian!!

I tried to post this last night, but our computer was on the fritz, so it is being posted a day late...

Happy 10th Birthday Rian!! How can it be that our tiny, beautiful baby girl has turned into a beautiful young woman... 10 YEARS OLD!!? We knew you were special when you arrived (16 days late!!) but I am not sure we ever could have imagined that you would become such an amazing girl as you have grown. We are so blessed to be your mom & dad and I thank Heavenly Father everyday that you are my daughter.

You are smart, helpful, kind, spiritual, thoughtful, a lover of all animals, energetic, honest, hard working, creative, brave, and truly the best big sister I have ever seen. I want to be a better person because of you. I love you more than you can ever know until you become a mother yourself someday!

Hope you have a really FUN birthday!!
