Carlee turned 13 - so that gave us a 19, 16, 14 and 13 year old!!! Count em - four teenagers!!! But that's not a problem because our girls improve with age!!!
Carlee has the distinction of being the first person in the family to celebrate a birthday in the new house. And we got really fancy with the cake!!!
But truthfully, this is the remnant of a cake that Gramma and Grampa had to celebrate their grandson's sealing. But hey, it tasted exactly the same as it would have if it would have had all the rest of it there too! Cake is cake!
Not only did she have cake - she had presents to open too! Lucky kid!!!
What's that you're holding Carlee?
Why it's . . .
. . . a fishbowl - with a fish!!! We welcomed Kennee to the family, until his passing about 9 days later. Now she wants a refill!
You can tell they're growing up when they start wanting things for their birthdays like hair styling instruments, sports bags, fishy crackers . . . !
It's a delight to have a daughter like Carlee. She's a beautiful, smart and talented girl with the craziest laugh ever. She's fun-loving and full of life and makes our home happy!
Love ya Barlee Bone!!!
