Happy 18th Birthday, Kath!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Katherine!
Happy birthday to YOU!


Eighteen years?  How did that even happen?  You continually bless our family with your quiet presence and love for those around you.  You typically have a little next to you, be  it a sibling or cousin, and they're usually making plans for what they are going to do with you....even if it's just hanging out in your room and dancing.  
As you head off to college, remember who you are, and what your goals and dreams are and that you are loved just for who you are!    

Love you,
Mom


You probably would have preferred the cowgirl pic, but these were my favorites.  





Some of your favorites.....littles, horses and blue skies.  



Happy 18th!   
Even if you're technically an adult, you'll always be our little girl!

Happy 12th Birthday Annika!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Annika!
Happy birthday to YOU!

My sweet #3 daughter....you have grown up so much this year.  You'll probably be taller than your sisters, but shhhhhhhh, we won't tell them that!  You still love to compete with your brothers, considering you're surrounded by them, but love to cook and bake and your nose is ALWAYS stuck in a book.  

I love you!

Love,
Mom


An older pic but a favorite.  
Hanging with the boys.  



Mmmmm ~ dessert in France.  Could life get any better? 



Decorating a cake ~ the only thing you like more than eating sweets is making them.  



Max knows your lap is always available, even on your birthday! 



Happy 12th, Annika!
