Birthdays are kind of important days. I mean, if you really think about it, why not celebrate the day that you made your first appearance on earth? Birthdays give you an excuse to center the entire day around yourself. You get to order people around, eat whatever you want, do whatever you want and demand gifts from those that you love, all with the excuse that "I can because I am pretty dang awesome, and oh ya, it's my birthday. Now feed me cake."
16 years ago today my little sister Sarah was born on a very snowy night. I was beyond ecstatic to have a sister and literally could not wait to get to the hospital and start being a big sister. She had the cutest, chubbiest cheeks (I'm talking on her face here people) and the most gorgeous strawberry blonde hair you ever did see. 16 years have past and she has grown into the most astonishingly gorgeous young woman I have ever seen. Doubt me? Well, eat your words and check out this birthday girl:
I wasn't kidding. And Sarah, I just want you to know how much I love you! I think you are talented, sweet, good-hearted, loving, gorgeous, and an amazing little sister. I hope that you had a great day, and I know that wherever you go in life, you will go far, you have the heart and the spirit to do so!
Happy Sweet 16th Birthday Sarah!
