Happy Birthday, Brianna!!

On October 13th we celebrated Brianna's 18th birthday. It is hard to believe that she is grown! Brianna has always been a joy to have around. She came in to this world with a happy personality. She has many talents. She always seems to be good at whatever she tries. She was very helpful from the earliest of times. She drove her nursery teacher crazy (sweetly) because she would line all the children's shoes up in an organized manner and she would take toys away from all the children if she thought the toy was too dangerous for such a young child and replace it with a much safer toy. ;) And later, her first grade teacher told me it was like having a teacher's aide. She would give Brianna a list of things to do for her and Brianna would do them without having to ask for directions again. She is a list maker and I love how organized she is.

I remember when she used to walk around on her toes when she was very tiny. They were curled under and she walked on the front part of her toes. (I can't even imagine doing that.) She would hold her hands over her head and twirl around like a ballerina. That is when we knew she was born to dance. I also remember when she was playing t-ball when she was four years old. Every time she would score, she thought that meant she had made a homerun. She would run up to the coaches and give them all a high five, saying, "I made a homerun!" She was the only girl on the team and they thought she was adorable. Well, a lot of time has passed since then. She is still as talented, charming, and as dazzling as she was then, but even more so. She is beautiful on the inside as well as on the out. (She requested the DQ ice cream cake - yum!)

I love the look of excitement on Brailyn's face as Brianna reads the card she made for her.

A delicious birthday breakfast made just for the birthday girl! Happy birthday, Brianna! We love you so much!! You may be grown but you will always be our little girl! xxoo
