birthdays.




My sweet sister turned ten today.

Double-digits.

Both hands.  All ten fingers.

Where did the time go?







We start new traditions every year.  This year, it was pictures on your birthday and lunch out with dad.  Tonight, we celebrated with homemade ice cream cake and presents.

Somehow, my little girl (who was personally the cutest baby ever) has grown up.  It makes me sad - and feel really old.  But, at the same time, I'm so happy that she's growing up.  She's such a strong, sweet little girl.  And she makes me happy.

I love you!

    Birthday traditions are so much fun, even if they aren't exactly the same every year. :)
