Happy 13th Birthday Peyton

We have another teenager in the house! My Peyton Rose celebrated her special day on Friday. I can't believe she is a teenager. I remember so well the moment she was born. We did not know if we were having a boy or a girl, and when the doctor said  that she was a girl, I somehow envisioned a baby that looked like Madison. I could not have been more wrong! I remember the exact moment that they handed me my Peyton Rose. She had dark hair and dark eyes and the tiniest nose ever. She was perfect then, and still is today. And so my dear Peyton, this is for you...


Peyton, at thirteen years old you


love to read. Mostly V.C. Andrews and The Hunger Games.


love Fox News. If you aren't watching it on TV, you are reading it on your iPad.


love to bake. You bake all by yourself now. Your specialities are cookies and brownies.


are wonderful with Flynn! You are like a second mother to her. She loves you so.


are very organized. You pick up the TV room every night.


love to watch TV with me. Your favorites are Dallas and Bates Motel.


are a wonderful sister to Madison and Rhett.


are a blessing to me, always asking if there is anything you can do for me.


make me happy every moment of the day.


Here are some of my favorite pictures of you...


I loved that haircut on you!
 
 
This was the day you made a hopscotch board with 300 spaces!
 
 
You and your Flynn...
 
 
Christmas 2009
 
 
We celebrated you with a small party on your birthday. Grandma and Margie and Chris were there. We had pizza and chocolate cake. Then we all sat on the front porch before watching a late movie. You must have thanked me a hundred times for making your day so special. You, my Peyton Rose, deserve it. : )
 
 
Breakfast...yummy cinnamon rolls...
 
 
We set up your party table while you were at school.
 
 
And then you helped me make your cake!
 
 
That cupcake balloon was huge!
 
 
We sang...
 
 
and ate cake!
 
 
Happy Birthday Peyton Rose!
