. . . AND NOW SHE'S SIX!

Granddaughter Alexa turned six yesterday, and it is so hard to believe she's already reached that age!  We dubbed her "Smiley" when she was a baby, and now, she's blossomed into the family's social butterfly! 

Mama Holly (our daughter) made her a princess cake, all the little girls who came dressed as princesses, and even Mama was dressed as a queen.  What little girl WOULDN'T enjoy learning how to curtsy, wearing "princess" makeup, and being introduced as Princess "so-and-so"?

Saturday night, the family went to Alexa's favorite Mexican restaurant to continue the celebrations.  Although we couldn't be with them, they are coming in tonight for Thanksgiving, and we can hardly wait to see the family! 

Alexa is a ray of sunshine in our family.  She loves all things "princess," and she is such a blessing.  She's outgoing, friendly, a beautiful little girl, and we can't imagine life without our little curly-haired, fun-loving, and smiling Alexa.

May she have many, many more!
