Happy Birthday Annabelle!

Well- our sweetie is 9! I am so thankful that the Lord brought this child to us- she is such a delight!  This little girl wakes up with a smile everyday and spreads sunshine all day.  She loves to work and serve others, she is such a great friend to others, and her diligence is amazing----we are so blessed by her!  Who would have known that the baby who screamed all the time, the toddler who refused to talk to anyone, and the little tike with such EXTREME emotions would grow to be such a beautiful young lady??  I hope you enjoy her birthday pictures:
