Happy Birthday Bailey!

I can't believe my Bailey is 5 years old!! She is such a joy to have in our family! She is the child with all the energy and keeps us all going. Bailey is so loving and we all adore her! Bailey is very funny but also very kind. She can be very sensitive and yet she is probably--okay no probably about it she is our most rambunctious child! She keeps us laughing and guessing all the time!

For her birthday she just wanted to have a swim party at Oma and Papa's house. We had a BBQ and she only wanted to invite one friend and her family. Her little friend Sadie is very special to Bailey, Sadie is fighting a courageous battle against a brain tumor. She and her family are wonderful examples to those around them of enduring trials with unwaivering faith and love. It has been heart warming to watch as a mother as Bailey has witnessed her favorite little friend become so sick. Sadie was diagnosed very suddenly in March and Bailey has been so concerned ever since. It is very hard for Bailey to understand sometimes, but she is always thinking and asking and mostly praying about Sadie. I have been very proud to see Bailey have that much genuine concern for someone she loves. We were so glad that her family was able to come to the party!

What fun pictures! I can't believe she's 5! I remember when she was just a toddler and she looked EXACTLY like Boo from Monsters Inc. I love you in the "Berfday" hat. H.O.T. Mama!

I just stumbled across your post and wanted to wish Bailey a belated happy birthday with a personalized birthday song from of SingingBirthdayCard.com

It was originally created for another Bailey (I hope you don't mind), but I think your Bailey will enjoy it just as much.
