Sarah (and Jane)

Sarah was my first niece.

Today is her birthday.

She is 9 today.

I was there for all of her birthdays until 

she started having friend sleepover parties

instead of family parties.

I cannot find photos from the first 3 parties...

(they're in that batch of 2003-2008 photos that 

I haven't seen since my last move- ughhh!) 

...but here's what I did find 

plus a few other "cousin" photos I thought she (and her parents) might enjoy seeing.

(2009 - 4 years old) 

(2010 - 5 years old)

(2011 - 6 years old)

(2012 - 7 years old)

(Easter 2013 - just turned 8 years old)

Happy Birthday Sarah Grace!

I love you!  Always have - always will!

It is also my Aunt Jane's birthday 

(the aunt Jane on my dad's side of the family).

She wouldn't want me making a big deal of it so I won't.

And she's not still long enough for me to get many photos of her.

But I found this one real quick that shows what she seems to enjoy most...

...being a grandma!  This is Xander, the youngest of her 4 grandbabies!

Happy Birthday Jane!

I love you!  Always have - always will!

I hope you both, Sarah and Jane, have had great birthdays!
