Happy Birthday, Kayla!

Today is my baby sister's 18th birthday! Goodness, gracious. When my parents announced they were having a baby 18 years ago... All I could think of was that I would be 30 when she got her driving permit - and how OLD that was! And now she's 18. Which makes me oldER than 30! Ha ha ha.

Here's 10 things I'm thankful for about Kayla:

1. She was a great surprise to our family - brought life and laughter to our house.

2. Her excitement about what's ahead and enthusiasm for school.

3. Swapping music with her!

4. Doing fun stuff with her - like trips to Aveda, concerts, and musicals!

5. Watching her learn to cook - and telling me about her recipes (she's FAR ahead of where my other sister and I were at her age!)

6. Her creativity - art work, singing, drama, speech, photography...

7. Her belly laugh. Gotta love it.

8. Her hugs.

9. Her confidence and assertiveness.

10. Her honesty.

I love you, Kay!
