Happy Birthday to my sister, LEANNE!

Happy Birthday Leanne! I've realized one sign that you are a mom is when you go through all your pictures and this is one of the few you can find of you and your sister together, we are simply too busy taking pictures of everyone else! Anyway LOVE this picture reminds me of all the wonderful memories of being a little girl and having a sister to share it with. One of the fun things about being your sister is our birthdays in March and how for 2 1/2 weeks we get to say we are the same age and confuse people! I know mom and dad always said they had me to be your birthday gift but I am the one who is BLESSED with the gift of a big sis! Hope you have a Wonderful day!
