16 Ways To Say...Happy Birthday Elijah

when kisses were still yucky...

My youngest son turned 16 today & of course I'm sad to see my baby boy so grown up, but I'm also incredibly proud of him.

Since the day he was born he was the "perfect child" I mean literally...this kid was just ridiculously easy to raise. His personality is happy-go-lucky, not much bothers him, even through the dreaded 'teen years.'

So for Elijah (aka Lijey), who's gone from driving his toy cars around the house to driving me around, here's 16 ways to say...

You're special because of...

1. Your love for the Lord
2. Your loving heart
3. Your giving nature
4. Your incredible wit
5. Your Lijey hugs
6. Your helpfulness
7. Your leadership
8. Your smile
9. Your cheerful nature
10. Your sense of humor
11. Your friendship
12. Your responsibility
13. Your love of family
14. Your positive attitude
15. Your caring ways

AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST...

16. Your ability to always bring joy into my life every single day! I love you Lijey!

Happy 16th Birthday and thank you for being such an amazing son!
