Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Elizabeth turned seventeen yesterday! She spent most of the day at school and then with her friends. She showed up at about 8:30 at night to have cake and ice cream with her family. I guess that proves she is really a teenager!
Elizabeth is sooooo special to our family. She is a bright light in our life! We love being involved in all her academic adventures. But more than that, she is just fun to be around. Have you ever heard her laugh. It is very contagious. As a mom, I love to have her near in the kitchen (cooking pasta, her favorite) or helping me do laundry, or just laying on my bed chatting to me about her "horrible day." As a family, we are very proud of her, and all her accomplishments.


Elizabeth received 47 candy bars from her friends! Ridiculous!


Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Okay! Sorry about the sideways video. I always forget you can't turn the camera when filming a movie! This is Erin and Kelsey. They are Elizabeth's fun and crazy friends.

She is such a beautiful girl. It is just crazy she is 17! What a great big sister and example to her little sisters. I love seeing them together. Sisters and friends. Sounds like she had a great day and enough chocolate for your year supply for the whole family:)
