My baby is 8! 🎂🥹 Alessandra Marie Santiago, not sure how we got here so fast, this has probably been your greatest year of growth yet! From competition dance team, to the heavy load you take on at school, to how you always help out with your sisters, you make balancing a very full life, look easy. You never cease to amaze me and I’m still pinching myself that I get to be your mom.. wise beyond your years, the most thoughtful, responsible person, you are such a light to our entire family. I pray this year brings continued blessings, new experiences, meaningful friendships, and the best of memories with your family that loves you so much! Most of all, it’s my hope for you that you make yourself proud every single day… we are always, and will always be so proud of you my love ❤️ A birthday picture for each year of life, the video at the end had me in tears in the school parking lot this morning after drop off 🥹 #8thbirthday
