Eighteen years ago today, I received the most beautiful belated birthday gift ever - I became a big sister. From the first time I laid eyes on her and held her in my arms, rocking, squeezing, slobbering all over her {& ultimately sending her to her first hospital visit}, I was beyond amazed and in love with this little sister who I would learn so much from & have so much fun with over the years.

| The first time I held her |
 |
| Bonding time |
 |
| She was my baby doll - even if she was half my size |
 |
| It's always better when you have someone to get in the box for you |
 |
| Carefree days |
 |
| Letting her ride my tricycle, but making sure she's aware it's still mine |
 |
| Our very own karaoke party |
 |
| Staying occupied on grocery trips |
 |
| Matching dresses...oh yes |
 |
| Hard to tell, but we're in our pigpen |
 |
| Loved dressing up & putting on skits |
 |
| ...did I mention we loved dressing up? |
 |
| We have laughed so hard together...and smiled until it hurt |
 |
| Endless adventures awaited us |
 |
| We loved having our own tea parties & picnics |
 |
| Hours & hours of homeschooling together |
 |
| Always together, the inseparable two-some |
 |
| We've grown up a lot |
 |
| ...but we're still wild & crazy |
 |
| ...and we still love each other |
Happy 18th Birthday, Vanessa Elaine! Christ's love overflows from your beautiful life and I am blessed to be one of the many who have been touched by it. I love you and look forward to the many adventures we have yet to share together!
Love,
Kaitlin
