Happy Birthday Holly

Hollybus turned 12 today. Whenever my girls have a birthday I get a little sentimental. I start thinking back to when they were born and the following years and how much they have grown. Today was no different. Holly has grown up so much and has matured into a smart, sweet natured girl with a fun but very dry sense of humor. Holly keeps the Brown family laughing! Like I mentioned in the earlier post, Holly pretty much spent her whole birthday at a swim meet. She was so focused throughout the day that she said later that she had forgotten it was her birthday, that is until the end of the meet when her team mates dumped the team cooler of ice water on her head. What love! After getting home and recovering a bit from the long tiring day we had some of her buddies over for cake and ice cream and presents. She got some money from G & G Brown and "the boys" next door. A couple NEX gift cards and the prized gift of all was seasons 1 and 2 of Lost. Holly's addiction. She was thrilled. Holly plans to use her cash to shop in Bali. Not every 12 year old gets to say that! We are so proud of our unique gift from God that we call Holly. Happy 12th birthday Bus! We love you! Of course all the birthday pics can be seen on Picasa. Enjoy
