Happy Birthday!!! You look so excited for 70 in your picture. One memory I'll always have of you is when you made the 12 days of Christmas for Kristy and me. I remember making a rubbing of the package trying to figure out what was inside and just waiting until it was the right day to open it. That would be fun to do with Lilly this year! Something else I remember is your Christmas Village at your house and when you put all that change for Lora in a tape roll and then she kept pulling it out of the package. I thought she's be rich, for sure! :-) 11-11-11 Hope you have a great day!
