Happy Birthday Little Jo!
Your Dad and I can't believe how old you are. Where did the last 8 years go? You impress us everyday with your kind heart and your imagination. You are funny and good and make us smile.
When you were born we were terrified to be parents but you won us over and we have loved you from the moment we met you.
When your Dad first saw you he was hooked and you got away with everything. Cake for dinner? No problem.
My favorite things that you do are:
1. Tell stories. You are a story girl. You always have 4 or 5 stories in your head ready to tell.
2. Try new things. Sushi. Holy Cow. I didn't try Sushi until I was an adult.
3. Play with everyone. You love people and play with anyone available. It doesn't matter to you how old they are or how different they are you don't seem to see any differences and you just play.
4. Tease. You love to tease and you are good at it.
5. Read. I love that you love books. What a blessing that will be to you.
6. Bravery. You are the bravest little thing. reciting a poem for the whole school on stage. Getting baptized even though you are a little afraid of being dunked (afterwards you said "Mom I was a little nervous but I am so happy I did it anyway") I didn't even know you were nervous until you told me after. You hid your nerves well. The Tidal Wave and Rattlesnake rapids. You impress me with your tenacious desire to overcome your nerves and "do it anyway".
Holly you are such a wonderful kid. Your Dad and I love you and are so happy you are in our family.
Happy, Happy Birthday!
