Happy 6th Birthday Mikayla!

Today was a bittersweet day!  We celebrated Mikayla's 6th birthday but she is in Heaven.  The girls sure do miss their sweet friend as do her parents.  Please continue to keep James and Julie in your prayers as they adjust to the new normal.  Mikayla Rose was so special to everyone and is deeply missed.  Today we were able to celebrate her birthday with her parents and lots of friends and family.  The girls have been looking forward to this day for quite some time as we were planning to light off lanterns, and did, in her honor.  It was a nice celebration in her honor!

Once we got to the cemetary I think Addisyn told me at least a half dozen times that she missed Mikayla. My lover sure knows how to express her feelings
Lighting off Lanterns
(Mikayla loved the movie Tangled and they did this on the
Princess' birthday each year, a great thing to do to honor our sweet Mikayla)
