Seventeen

WOW! I can't believe I have seventeen year olds. That seems so old. Not that they seem so old but that I do. They have always been such a joy to have in the family. So fun to be around and such great helpers. I hope they have a fabulous seventeenth year.

All my teenagers. Three of my own and two adopted. Kenny and Hollie came over to have cake and ice cream on the night of their birthday after Jeff took them out to dinner.

This was so cute. Madi made this shirt for Mikayla to wear to school the day of their birthday - of course with Madi's basketball number on the back...

and "It's my birthday on the front".

Silly boys.

In the morning Olivia and Emma set their alarm clock so they could get up early enough to see the girls open their presents from them before they left for school. 

I had some whipped cream that I bought for hot chocolate but they had other ideas for what to do with it.

Happy Birthday to 2 of our favorite girls! We are so grateful Madi & Kayla are a part of our lives. We love the friends that they are to Hollie. Good job, raising such lovely daughters.

It was so fun to come and visit on Sunday evening. We loved it. Let's get together again over the Holidays...

Holy Cow...you are old! (LOL). Just kidding...Didn't you get married when you were like...11? Anyway, hard to believe they will be moving on out into the world sooner than you think! How can this be? I fret about this regularly. I will miss mine when they do.
