Happy Birthday Mikayla!

Our baby is 12!

I am still having a hard time believing that she has been a part of our lives for 12 years. Where does the time go? We have truly been blessed to have Mikayla as our daughter. She is an amazing child! She makes us smile every time we see her, or think about her.

I picked her up and took her to lunch. We had a great time. I surprised her with a visit from her biological mom. The three of us had lunch together. She was so excited.

After dance-we had a family shin dig. She loved all of her gifts. We also invited Traci and her family to join us. The kids had a great time, as did we. I dont think Mikayla ever thought that she would get to spend her birthday with both her moms. It was very special for all of us. I got a little teary several times throughout the day. Our family has been very very blessed by our birthmothers. We love them so much!

Make a wish!
