Beautiful Jayden | {FULL of JOY}

If you aren’t already familiar with this little beauty, then you probably haven’t followed my blog for long…this is our granddaughter…our oldest one, who turned seven this fall. I’m a bit late in getting her photos posted…there were so many to choose from and since I’m a “bit” biased about her, it was hard to narrow it down…so be warned, there are plenty of photos! Sweet Jayden is not only a beautiful girl, but she is so much more. She has a very kind and thoughtful heart and caring way about her…she is gentle and polite…and yet, can be funny, sneaky, silly and goofy…quite goofy…at times!! This past spring she became a cousin to our daughter’s new baby, Emma, and we were all unsure about how she’d deal with “sharing” not only her grandparents, but her aunt and uncle (who she ADORES!!!)…  Well, she’s handled it exceptionally well…had been the BEST big cousin a little baby could ask for and is very loving and tender when around Emma. It’s more like she’s a big sister….and when I see the two of them together, it warms my heart…such a precious sight and the memories will forever be treasured! It’s obvious there is already a bond between these two girls…you can see it on both of their faces, when they see one another…it is truly priceless! Just the other day when I was watching Emma for the day and Jayden came here after school…once Emma woke up from her nap and saw Jayden was here, it was magic the way her face lit up with joy at the sight of her big cousin and that brought tears to my eyes…I love that they love one another! Naturally, with this being a very personal post, I have wonderful things to say about Jayden, but anyone who would meet her would probably agree with me…she’s a great friend, a good student, a loving daughter, a BIG animal lover, afraid of spiders and snakes and gives the BEST hugs ever…and this only touches the tip of who Jayden is…and I am so blessed to be her “Mimi” and am thankful every day for her!!  (P.S.  There are more photos to come…a second day of shooting, that I have yet to cull down for posting…stay tuned!)
