Dear Lily Kate,
You are such a wonderful daughter. I am so thankful to have you in our family. You bring so much joy, laughter, imagination and love to our family. You have such a giving heart- you love to give away your belongings, and buy and make things for others.
You have your daddy's sense of humor and love to make others laugh and smile. You are just the right amount of silly.
You take great care of your baby dolls and toys. You love to play dress up- both the toys and you. You are definitely a princess at heart.
You are a daughter of the King. You love to learn about God's Word and love telling others about Him. You always have a song on your heart. You evangelize your sister on a regular basis and you love swimming lessons because they are preparing you to be baptitized.
You are a very talented artist and you love arts and crafts. You even make up your own projects.
You are such a fine little girl. I'm so thankful for the person that you are. I love spending time with you. You are beautiful both inside and out. We are so glad you are a part of our family.
Love,
Mom & Dad

What I Like About You?
...you really know how to dance! You love sweeping your girls off their feet (me included) and participating in our "Dance Parties". You also know just when I need a slow dance and a long hug after a hectic day.
You are an amazing father. No matter how long your day happened to be, you still make an effort to make memories with your girls. You lead our family in a Bible story and bedtime prayer. You play games, read stories, and have tea parties even when there is a ball game on!
You set such a great example of loving others. You genuinely care for people. You try to help others when you can and use your gifts to help those in need.
Your smile.
Your sense of humor- You always keep me smiling. You know just how to interject enough humor to keep us all on our toes. I love hearing our girls giggle from the things that you say and do. I also love seeing them develop their own sense of humor (that they obviously get from you!)
Even after almost 10 years of marriage, you still love me! You send me texts just to say you love me. You take me on dates; you still pursue our relationship. You put up with me and my mood swings. You love me even when I'm difficult to love. Thank you!
You are always up for an adventure! You love to explore the city we live in, love to travel and go on "family adventures" together.
You are chivalrous! You still know how to treat a lady. You take the time to date your daughters and show them how they should be treated and how much they are loved.
I am so blessed to have you in my life. To walk along side of on this crazy adventure. To laugh with and cry with. I love you.

You are an amazing at what you do and providing for our family. You are so loving and caring. I love hearing you check on a patient after hours or call parents to make sure that they got the lab values. I love hearing my friends talk about how they enjoyed seeing you in clinic. You spoil me rotten and are always looking out for the well being of our family.
