-is a great sleeper & a great eater (I'm so lucky!)
-enjoys being outside
-is a great dancer and does a jig that is hilarious
-is almost ready to start potty training

-thinks nursery is great, but only if Sami is there (we're in trouble come January!)
-loves chapstick & it will calm her down faster than anything
-favorite foods are mandarin oranges, chips, tacos, grapes, & all snack foods
Janie is my Christmas miracle, literally. I am amazed at how much sweetness she brings our family. I remember so clearly after her delivery, I sat by myself in my hospital room. Janie was in the special care nursery & Jonathan was home with Sami. It was a beautiful Christmas Eve day, & I thought of Mary, giving birth to the Savior & laying her newborn in a manager, while I lay surrounded by doctors, food, a tv, & a bathroom and my newborn was getting great medical care. Janie will always remind me of the true meaning of Christmas: life. Because of our Savior's birth, life, & death, we can live together forever, with our loved ones. And we are so grateful that Janie is our lives.
Happy Birthday, Janie! We love you!!

Happy Birthday Janie! She is beautiful!!
Happy belated birthday Janie! I know what you mean about thinking about Christ's birth. This year I literally burst into tears thinking about what Mary had to go through. Contractions on a donkey doesn't sound ideal to me.
Janie is so gorgeous! And I love that chapstick is her comfort item. Lol!
