Such a fun day with fun people!!! We all slept rather well last night. Play hard, sleep hard!!!

Mattie Rose and James, you have brought Mommy and Daddy so much joy this past year, and I have no doubt it will only multiply over the years. Watching you grow and learn is so exciting and just amazes me! I thank God every day for letting me be your mommy! You make a tough job alot of fun! Love you both to the moon and back, and I can't wait for 100 more birthday parties!
