twenty three years ago...

In the earliest hours on the last morning of November, a baby girl was born to her proud parents and two adoring sisters. She was adorable, cuddly, and sweet-smelling, everything a baby should be.

Two days later, they brought her home from the hospital. She was like an early Christmas present, and was the greatest gift any of them had ever received.

Today, 23 years later, we are celebrating MaryAnna's birthday, and are more thankful than ever that she was given to us. I could go into detail and write for hours about the things she does to bless our family, but you can just take my word for it. We would be lost without her.

Happiest birthday wishes to you, my dear sister! I love you!
