Happy 5th Bday So Fo!

I just want to wish my sweet little niece Sophie, a Happy 5th Birthday! She is so sweet and makes us laugh all the time! She has been witty, just like her brother Cooper from day 1! Her and Ava have such a funny relationship. Ava just cherishes the ground that Sophie walks on. She is always willing to do WHATEVER Sophie asks! For instance..... a couple years ago when we were vacationing in Laguna, Sophie had gotten in trouble for being "NOT NICE" to Ava when we were on the beach. It was at the end of the beach day and had been a long day. So, all of us had gotten up to carry our beach chairs etc. back to the house and Sophie was still crying because of getting in trouble by her mom. She kept saying, " I can't carry my chair back."(they were very little kid chairs by the way) Ava, trying to PLEASE Sophie as she always does says,"It's ok Soph, I'll carry it for you." I look back and sure enough Ava carried the chair back! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Ava didn't even realize that Sophie was initially in trouble for being rude to her! Ava just felt bad that she was in trouble and crying! They always keep us laughing! We are so grateful that Ava has Sophie in her life. They are 8 weeks apart and it was UNPLANNED! The last thing I wanted after everything I had been through with Emmie was a baby 18 months later! When my sister and I both found out we were having girls we were so excited! We know without a doubt that it was meant to be. Sophie is like a sister to Ava. We felt bad for Ava when we  were trying to get pregnant again because we wanted her to have a relationship with a typical sister as well!  It took us 4 1/2 yrs to have another baby, so we treat Sophie like she is the other typical sister. Our Heavenly Father blessed our sweet Ava with a cousin like you Sophie and we are so grateful! We love you and hope you have the BEST Princess Birthday ever! I can't believe you guys are 5! Time goes by so FAST! We Love You so much!
