"dearest, loveliest Elizabeth!"

Our very own "dearest, loveliest Elizabeth!"

5 years old on Easter Day!

(recognize the quote, anyone?)

Elizabeth with her best friend (and cousin) Michaela...

 ... wishing you long-distance ways to nurture your bff friendship in this coming year!


Dearest Princess Elizabeth, how we treasure your tender heart and loving ways...

... your bright smile and eager eyes...

... your courage and strength and drive and initiative and energy and zest!

You make us laugh...

...  you always find new ways to surprise us ...

... and in a very special way, you touch our spirits and tug at our heartstrings.

Thank you for the priceless gift of your love for us,

dearest Princess Elizabeth Jean!

Your Grandma and Grandpa love you with all our hearts. 

Happy 5th Birthday, Sweetheart!
