Happy Birthday...

to Lyndsey! She turned the BIG 17 yesterday!

(In case you don't know, Lyndsey is on the right.)

Where does the time go? It seems like a few days ago Walter and I had welcomed her into the world and into our lives. And now here she is almost all grown up.


Lyndsey had a slumber party last Friday night with a few of her friends. We (Mom was included, too) played lots of games, ate ice cream pie, watched a chick flick, and stayed up til 3 am (the afore mentioned Mom DID NOT stay up til 3 am, though).

Pictured up above (in left to right order) are Megan, Ciarra, Kayla, Sarah, Grace, the birthday girl, MacKenzie, and our pastor's wife, Sileena.

Up above is Megan, Sarah, the birthday girl, LeeAnn, MacKenzie, and Kayla on top.

Here they are again - Kayla, Sarah, MacKenzie, Megan, and the birthday girl on their laps!

A winter storm decided to move through the valley that night and it rained "cats and dogs" all night. It caused a power outage at 3 am and sounded our security alarm. Needless to say the girls were scared out of their wits! Shortly after that, the girls decided it was time to sleep!

Lyndsey had a great time and is SO HAPPY to now be 17!
