Happy 11th Birthday Brie!

Cambrie turned 11 years old on Tuesday. I can't believe it. I actually got emotional this year on her birthday, 11 seems really grown up to me. I told her about the morning she was born and how happy Joel and I were. It was truly the happiest time of our lives together. Cambrie was the most pleasant child, always smiling and happy, people were drawn to her. Here are a few pictures of her through the years (unfortunately I don't have any before she was 4...that was before digital camera life for us!).









This next picture is of her birthday this year...opening presents.


Her cake. She asked for a red velvet cake this year...


For some reason I can't ever remember to get candles. Four candles wasn't the magic number but she didn't complain...


Yeah, you can tell it's the end of the day...check out how ragged we both look. Just proof that it was a successful birthday with a lot of preparation on my part and a lot of smiles on hers.

Cambrie got a cell phone this year for her birthday. It was a huge surprise for her because we told her she had to wait until she was twelve. Not so much, she has had so much fun with it!

Happy Birthday Cambrie! Please stay innocent, kind, compassionate, loving, funny, smart, sensitive, and little. Please!

We love you.

I remember the day she was born, and yes time flies. Cambrie was such a darling baby, and she has grown into a lovely young woman.
