Daniela


We are fortunate to have a very busy holiday season. Not only do we have Christmas and new years, but we get to squish a couple birthdays in between.


Today is Daniela's birthday

She is 14


And, today's post is dedicated to her!


Daniela has always been a very independent child and has her own little mind. She definitely is her own person.
As she has grown it has been a bit of a challenge for me to understand her likes and wants and allow her those, as I am very different in many areas.
She is my little diva and I try very hard to give her that independence.
Daniela is very caring, thoughtful, hard working, and beautiful. I am so proud of her many accomplishments and I don't tell her enough how much she means to me! She is a great sister and Antony ADORES her. I am greatful that they have eachother!
She is her father's daughter in many ways and it is fun to see how their relationship is growing and changing as she gets older.
I can't believe the young woman that she is becoming. This is the same child that used to love the playground, and roughhousing. Now, she might break a nail or mess up her hair. However, I still see the little girl, especially when she and Antony play together.
Dear little Daniela, I love you! You will always be my little girl.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
