Happy Birthday To My Sweet Pea

I can't believe my itsy-bitsy, alligator-rollin', 5-pounder is now a 4-year-old, tip-toein' 40 pounder! :) This child is somethin' else, let me tell ya. She is by far the most compassionate, sensitive little soul I've ever known. And in the blink of an eye, she can also be the most roughest, toughest cookie in town.

Thank you, Jesus, for blessing my life far beyond anything I could ever imagine with this beautiful, baby girl. I don't know what I would ever do without her. Please continue to keep her shielded in your loving arms, protected from all harm. Thank you for trusting me with her life, and revealing your love, mercy, and forgiveness in a precious bundle of joy on December 28, 2006. And when she's grown and we all are gone, we pray Your name she'll carry on. And by Your will, oh Lord let it be, that she'll live with us for Eternity. God, keep your hands upon my little Maya. Love and guide her. Jesus, walk beside her. Lord, keep your hands upon our little baby, our most precious gift from Above.

Happy birthday, happy birthday, how old are you, how old are you, light the candles on the cake, smear your name for good luck's sake, we want cake, we want cake!

Happy, happy birthday to my princess!
