SIXTEEN!

I know, I know .... I am WAY behind on my documentation. But this is an especially important day! Our firstborn turns 16 today! It really does not seem that long ago that we became parents - a family - holding that cute little thing with a head full of blonde hair and those blue eyes just taking it all in. And now here she is ....


She headed off to early morning seminary this morning before the sun came up. Looking all cute!


And 16!


We hope you have a most wonderful day sweetie! We sure love you!


Edit made by Maren: I have the best mom in the world. See all the craziness of the balloons and banner up there? She stayed up and did that all for me. And I appreciate it so much. She even brought me Cafe Rio for lunch!
SHE IS THE GREATEST. Love you mommy. You are incredible.
