Happy Ten Years to You, Halle

On July 25, 2002, at 11:58 a.m a sweet, beautiful 7 lb 2 oz baby girl was born.  Her daddy thought she was the most beautiful baby on the planet. 

Halle, you have been such a blessing to your dad and I for the past 10 years.  You are the sweetest kid I know.  You have a kind heart and are so grown up for your age.  You make wise decisions, are considerate of others, and easy to have late night talks with.  You are my favorite snuggle bunny.  You love cats, white tigers, and most of all, dolphins.  You spend your spare time riding your bike, reading, and playing the Wii.  You are better than your dad at Mario Kart (shhh, don't tell him I said that.)  Your favorite store is Justice.  You make money by doing chores around the house.  You are a wise spender and are frugal, but you generously give to others.  You have a passion for Jesus.  You love to swim, do handstands, and flips in the pool.  You love all kinds of food..... except MUSHROOMS!  Some of your favorite foods are sushi, steak, ribs, sour candy, Gushers, cheesecake, and Choco-cherry blizzards.  You are willing to try anything.  Your favorite restaurants are Cheesecake Factory and Fridays.  You prefer games for your age, but you will still play Barbies with your younger friends.  You love stuffed animals and watching TV with your snuggie.  Your favorite TV shows are "Suite Life with Zack and Cody" and "H20, Just Add Water."  Your favorite movies are the Twilight saga, Night at the Museum 2, and Dolphin Tale, just to name a few.  You are slow to anger, but your sister knows how to push your buttons.  You favorite subjects are Science and Art.  You love making crafts and homemade birthday cards.  You enjoy painting places like Painting with a Twist, Imaginations. and Art Shop for Kids.  You love going to Itz, Mountasia, and roller skating.  You are such a fun kid to be around and I love hanging out with you.  You are one of my favorite shopping buddies and you are the biggest help with your siblings.  You do everything without complaining, are a great big sister and great daughter. 

Happy 10 years to you.  We are so proud of you!
