Out of five children, four of us were born in December. Jaclyn, the second from the left was born in January. It is a busy month for us. Today is the beginning of our December birthday celebration month.
Happy Birthday, Brandi.
Brandi was my first best friend. We are the same age for 17 days every year. She was drill team president in high school. She served her mission to Germany and makes a mean Schnitzel. We were in the MTC together. She is classy. She loves leather shoes. She looks fantastic in fall sweaters. She does not like beans. She has pressed olives in Jerusalem. We once had a contest to see who could swallow the most coins. She went to Junior Prom with a guy who wore black wranglers with his tux. If you get within five feet of her, you will feel the sudden urge to tell her everything about you. She will never hurt you with all of the information that you divulged. She can still dance like a Bobcadette. She is an artist. She loves classical music. Even though she has five kids, she looks young enough to be a teenage mom. She does not like that fact. Her skin is super soft. She always wears socks. She has faith. Heavenly Father really loves Brandi. She knows my core. That is her precious gift to me.

Happy Birthday. You are now older than me. And you are the same age as Candice, and that makes you OLD!
Just kidding.
Happy Birthday!
I loved reading Candice's feelings about you. A great tell-all into who you really are to her and many others no doubt. My favorite thing is that when anyone is around you that they have the urge to tell you everything about themselves. I confess I've had the same urge. You are wonderful.
Candice, nice thoughts.
Happy Birthday Cousin.
You have to take 'the mean one' in perspective. Our sisters and Shawn were unusually nice. Hence, the little aggression shown by the birthday girl was blown out of proportion. In any other family she might have been the peacemaker, right? maybe?:):):)
Why is it so hillarious that I like wham? I do not have their album. I found this on the internet. I like most kinds except for heavy metal....

They are there for you when your Pandora's box spills open and then are willing to forget and forgive and love you anyway.My eyes fill with tears when I think of how I love my sisters and I include my sisters-in-law when I say sisters. I love that my own daughters love our Sister Retreat each fall.
