happy, happy birthday KRISTEN dear!

The 21st of September. The day Kristen was born! I'm not sure if everyone realizes that one of our favorite groups, EW&F wrote Kristen a song for her birthday. Hopefully it is playing for you now.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our beautiful, sweet, kind, caring, dependable, silly, creative, helpful, responsible, loving, first born daughter! We have put you through it over the years. Thank you for still loving us, even though we were crazy (over-achieving) parents, trying our hardest to help you become perfect! We were so excited to have you...we tried right away, and you were born nine months and three days after we were married :).!

You have been a little slice of heaven in our family, bringing your own unique gifts and talents and personality to our home! I realize our family relationships aren't always perfect, but I also believe we love and respect each other completely. You have been a wonderful big sister, a right arm for your mother, and a shining light to all the world!

WE LOVE YOU KRISTEN! Hope you have a special day!
