Happy 14th Birthday!

Today is my niece's fourteenth birthday! I cannot believe she is fourteen already. I remember the day she was born. I was actually fourteen at the time. I don't remember her exact weight, but she was just over four pounds. She was so tiny! I was afraid to hold her because she was so little. It's crazy to think she'll have her learner's permit in a year!

Happy Birthday!

I'm so embarrassed, but I don't have any current photos of her. This one was taken by my father-in-law at my wedding. She was my flower girl. Isn't she so pretty?

Toy Soldier in the Nutcracker. She got contact lenses this year so she no longer wears glasses. She wears make-up and long dangly earrings.

On a cruise with her mother.

With Aunt Kacky (me!) and our cat, Puss-Puss. My niece has always had long, skinny legs. I'm so jealous! This picture is probably nine or 10 year old.
