For Allison Lenneth - On her 5th Birthday

"brighter than a shooting star, shine no matter where you are"

To our dearest Allison, 

Okay, so just like that, the day is finally here...You are now 5 years old!

I know, it is not 7, nor 16, or even 21.

For Allison Lenneth - On her 4th Birthday

"You owned the year like the Fourth of July"

To our dearest Allison, 

Okay, so it is really that fast and now we are already at four? I did not expect that, honestly. I kinda feel that it was just yesterday when I wrote a post on your 3rd Birthday.

In fact, I cannot believe that we are already at four - it just sounds so fast. You are really speeding up there, Allison and how I wish I can slow you down a little bit, kinda like shifting you to first gear as you are already kicking it in fourth gear, if you know what I mean.

Nevertheless, to sum up this past year, I can really say that you really had a great one!

For Allison Lenneth - On her 3rd Birthday

If you browse around the internet, most blog posts about greetings for a kid's birthday are written by Mothers. So, for a change, here is one written by a father, LoL!

"Don't blink! They'll be grown before you know it."

To my everdearest Allison Lenneth,

Before you were born, I always remember when people around me say that time flies by. Now that I am a dad, I experienced first-hand how that was true.

Before, I look at people like they are stupid when they tell me, "Don't blink! They'll be grown before you know it." However, come to think of it, those silly people (as I thought them to be) are right.
