Happy Birthday Aunt Mel

Happy Birthday to my very favorite sister Melanie!!!! She is thirty something today...we stopped counting at 30, right? She is absolutely my best friend in the world. She has been a second mom to my kids...There are definitely some days I would have crumbled without her. She is incredibly kind, extremely talented at everything she does, super funny and witty, and just an all around perfect person. Here are some comments from her biggest fans:

Jake: She is a rollercoaster lover and goes on every frickin ride. She is WAY nice! She always takes us to great places. She has a great attitude! Happy Birthday Aunt Mel.

Derek: She is the best aunt ever! She's always nice, never mean. And she is always positive. Happy Birthday!

Megan: Happy happy birthday Mel. I hope you have an awesome birthday. Thank you for being nice to me. You are an AWESOME aunt!!!

Birthday party at Wendy's

Look at how cute that cake is! Jake's friend Emily and her mom Julie and sister Abby made this flip flop cake for Megan. They even crushed up graham crackers for the sand.



Megan chose to eat at Wendy's for dinner. We told her she could choose anywhere...and that is what she chose.


Aunt Melanie snuck in early this morning to deliver a gigantic balloon bouquet in Megan's room. She was pretty excited to wake up to that. Who wouldn't be???

Happy Birthday Megan!!!

Happy Birthday Miss Megan

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!!! Our baby is 7 years old. Crazy, crazy, crazy. It seems like she was just born. Megan was born unexpectedly 3 weeks early. The doctor and several nurses all told me that it was a miracle she was born alive. She has been feisty and spunky and a fighter from day one.

Here are the TOP 7 AWESOME things about Megan:
1) Super social!!!
2) She always points out she is the tannest in the family.
3) She is the kindest person I know
4) She will be friends with ANYONE
5) She can mess up her room in 5 minutes flat
6) She loves to read and sing to her guinea pigs
7) She is very affectionate and loving

There are many, many, many other great things about Megan...but I don't want to go on and on. She is the perfect daughter, granddaughter, niece, sister and friend!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS MEGAN!!!
