Happy Birthday, Mom!!!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Sometimes you get Christmas gifts on your birthday. Sometimes it's completely overlooked. Today's post is dedicated just to YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

I love you because you love people so much. Rob, Nathan and Ben say I am just like you -- having never met a stranger :)

I love that you taught me how to write in cursive. My hand-writing is almost identical to yours and I think of you whenever I write with a pen. AND, you taught me how to write with my left hand too.

I love how you took me to work with you during Jr. High so I didn't have to walk so far to school -- and the morning doughnut runs. :)

Thank you for all you did that I never thanked you for: the posters on my door at band camp, the doll clothes you made from scraps of fabric, Christmas songs in July (hey -- that was all started by you, so I can mention it on your birthday), water fights in the house, and the freedom to have friends come visit anytime.

Happy Birthday, MOM! Have a wonderful year!!!
I love you.

By the way -- this post is in pink so it can be as un-Christmas looking as possible :)

Just for my mom :)

You are a sweet daughter to her and a testament of what an amazing mom she was. You guys are blessed.

Happy birthday! Thanks for being a kind and generous host the many times I was at your house in my childhood. :-)
