Fayola's 3rd Birthday!

We had a blast at Fayola's 3rd Birthday! Thank you to my Uncle, Aunt & cousins for hosting her party, preparing the food, and Taylor for making all the amazing cupcakes! We had some many wonderful family members come to celebrate. It almost seemed like a reunion. Oh how we miss our family and thank God for the time we had together, celebrating life and love.

Kyra, your personality is continuing to shine through. You are a screamer when you communicate, you go ahhh! to get someone's attention, especially when you are "all done", and you and Fayola get in these screaming matches at the dinner table, it's so funny, and crazy loud. You are very outgoing, love to smile big and very active. You continue to army crawl all over the place. We love you dearly, you've added such energy to our family my love.
