The November Girls

I'm wishing I was a better Auntie Dee. I don't send cards or make phone calls often. And when I'm around, I always have a headache. Ha ha! But it's never too late. I want you both to know that you are welcome to come and stay with me any time, and your sisters too. I'm hoping to come and see you soon! I want to watch all the Hillary Duff and Hannah Montana movies there are. Unless that's old news and you're on to better things!

So, I'm sorry for not always being there for the last decade, but here's to a new start! I can't believe you are so grown up, already, so fast! Just like that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACKENZIE!

I remember that you were a sweet, sweet baby. Once when I had to leave for the airport to go back to Utah, I put you down and picked you back up about 5 times. I didn't want to go!!! This was when you were still an infant. Then as a toddler, you made me laugh so hard the way you'd twirl that binky around in your mouth! And your itty bitty voice was the funniest. I can't believe you're 12! I love how much you enjoy reading and art. Keep focusing on that! I think you have a lot of talent. I hope your 12th year is full of love, learning, friends, creativity, and happiness!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAE MAE!

You were so cute with that red hair! Another baby I could never put down! It seems like you were 3 forever, and suddenly you are NINE!!! I can't believe it. From the start I noticed your spunky, energetic spirit and you've been making us all laugh for nine years now. I think you should develop your drama skills because I see a future for you there! Thank you for always been so nice to Sydney, Jack, and Allie. I wish they could see you more. I hope you have a happy, lively, dramatic year!

I love both of you girls so much! Call me any time.

Love,
Auntie Dee
