Our Baby is 20!!!





How is it possible that our baby Allyson Kay is 20 today?!!!!! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

We love you so much more than words could ever say...but, I gotta try...so here are just a few of the reasons that you are so loved...
1. You are so cute! And those beautiful blues of yours have melted us from the very first moment you blinked! You are beautiful inside and out!!!
2. You love the Lord and you know Him almost as well as He knows you. If anyone asks you what your favorite scripture is, you recite it along with many others. Your scriptures are worn almost to pieces...and they are never far from you. Your testimony is so strong and pure. 
3. Everyone who has ever met you Loves You!
4. You are so funny and just plain get JOY out of life...
5. You are such a great and creative giver... I have never known anyone who spends so much time, energy and creativity in all your gift giving.
6. You absolutely love to SERVE... you are our example of how to love others.
7. I know it might sound really strange... but Ally has never really gotten in trouble for anything. She has always been so good it's a little crazy. She grounded herself once because she held a boys hand before she was sixteen...that's it! She never even had a curfew...she never needed one. Thank you sweet Ally for being so good. I don't think you can even begin to imagine what a blessing that has been for your parents.
8. Anyone who knows you looks up to you and wants to be a little more like you.
9. You are the one and only Aunt who makes "blue milk"! (Only you will put food coloring in their milk just because it's fun to do!) All of your nieces and nephews absolutely adore you!!!
10. You are talented, smart, artistic, loving, spiritual, humble, giving, kind, funny, genuine, beautiful...etc. etc. etc.
WE LOVE YOU! Happy Birthday Ally XOXOXOX

P.S. We have all been at the beach for a week...It was a blast! Pictures and more details to come!
