This year, I joined our church choir to sing during lessons & carol service.

Happy birthday my sweet girl!!! You make me so incredibly proud to be your mom and I thank God each day for what a beautiful gift you are to me. You are that cool girl I always wished I could be! You are only sixteen but you are a warrior. You are brave in all the ways that matter. You stand firm in what you believe and you don’t waver at the dramas around you. I am in awe of the beautiful young woman you are and becoming. Love you so much, my firstborn child!

God sent snow for Chloe’s birthday!

After living with us for a while, my parents moved to their own appartment nearby. We’ve been so busy getting the place ready for the grandparents! 🙂
