Happy Birthday Brenda

Yesterday was my sister Brenda's birthday. She turned 17! (My baby sister is 17 now...holy cow!) On Sunday we went over to my parents house and had dinner and let Brenda open her presents. Of course all she wanted was a BSU shirt...or anything to do with BSU. Her presents included 2 BSU shirts, an Idaho license plate w/her name on it, and a BSU blanket & pillow covers. She was SOOOO excited! (side note: it may look like we spoiled her, but she had to earn the money for the bed stuff by helping do chores around our house. It took her about 4 months to earn enough money for it, but she did it!) After opening presents she immediately tried on her shirts and then wanted to put her new blanket on her bed.

On Monday, her birthday, Sam and I went and bought a small cake and the store and some balloons and took them up to the high school. We delivered the goodies to her in her classroom (the resource room). You should have seen the look on her face...she was on cloud 9! At the end of the day she was able to share the cake with all of her friends in her class. This will be one birthday story that she will talk about for a long time...Happy Birthday Brenda! We love you!
