birthday by proxy.

courtie. 
just so you know, you had a fantastic birthday. 















you swung on a yellow swing.
little malia pushed you around in a shopping cart.

you rocked the rocking horse.
















you and gabie baby rode bikes.  {don't tell him that i am still
secretly using that nickname.  even though he is not very
"baby" anymore.  sadly.}

and mom and dad gave you a little birthday cuddle.

we spent some time together too.  we took a nice long sunday nap on your bed.  we watched a movie.  we made cupcakes and ate them too.  it was a lovely time to celebrate the day, 23 years ago, that the world got just a small bit brighter and better.  i miss you.

p.s. jayden blew out your candle for you. and i made a wish for you. 
 i can't tell you what it was but let's just say that your mission may
go by a bit quicker because of it.

I'm in love with this post. You are so creative, and if I had a sister, I'd want her to be like you :)
