Growing up with Holland

Holland was born on November 1, 2004. she had red CURLY hair. Her hair looked like a little afro. She was and is such a sweet little girl. she does have some fire to her though. She will tell you what she thinks. She isn't afraid to do anything. She loves school and pink is her favorite color. She loves Barbies and playing house. She is a joy to have in our family. She is our comic relief and that is why I think she needed to be part of our family. We need her. She can make us all smile even on the darkest of days. I love you Holland and I am so proud to be your Mom.
