happy birthday river! i honestly can’t imagine our lives without you. You are a force of nature who can’t be stopped. You make us laugh when you’re being silly, or you tell your stories we can’t quite understand and especially when you’re being cheeky- like asking for your 4th bowl of cereal in a day or when you are hiding instead of being in bed. You have us all under your spell. You are strong, curious, kind, thoughtful, fun and loud and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Keep making your own path and we promise to try to keep up with you. thank you choosing us to be your family and me to be your mom, i’m forever grateful. love you Riv.
