Happy 4th Birthday to You, Julia!!!!

Julia,

We cannot believe you are already 4 years old. Although the first four years of your life have seemed to pass very quickly, they were the most joyful, proud, happy, and exciting years of our lives. We are in awe of your incredibly loving personality, and are continuously grateful to have such a wonderful daughter.

When we think of you the best word to describe it is pride. We are so proud of all your achievements from pooping on the potty to brushing your teeth by yourself. And, you stand out as one of the most amazing big sisters a little sibling could ask for. You melt our hearts with the love you display and give to Charlotte. Tonight, while watching you lovingly rest your hand on Charlotte's knee while watching tv I wanted to cry from the love that poured through me. And, thank you for telling us, unprompted, that you had a great 4th birthday and tons of fun today. You are a true gem, and we are so incredibly lucky to have you as our daughter.

We look forward to many many more years of happiness and joy (yes, we know, maybe some angst), and we are excited to watch your 4th year unfold.

We love you soooooooooooo much!

Mommy and Daddy
