This is a picture of our house 23 years ago today!
Kerry Leigh, shown here at a whopping 5 minutes old,
had come into the world!
We didn't know then how much laughter and joy
she would bring to our lives.
On her first birthday, we actually wore matching
Laura Ashley outfits! LOL!
At two years old, she was the life of the party.
She wanted to be "Belle" at 3.
This "Aristocat" was the cat's meow at age 4!
The Disney theme continued on her 5th birthday!
This picture was taken before the guests arrived for her 6th birthday party!
Her 7th birthday party had a "backwards" theme.
Kerry is the girl with her hands on her knees and the huge smile!
We celebrated her 8th birthday in Alaska with her cousins.
My sister's gift was the "Spottie Dottie" blanket.
Kerry was a huge Spottie Dottie fan!
For number nine, we had a party at the swim club.
I always loved this picture of Kerry!
Annie couldn't believe Kerry blew out
all of her candles on her 10th birthday.
No big party for eleven, but we had our favorite raspberry cream cake!
Twelve was spent in Burlington with her grandparents
and a scrumptious ice cream cake from Ben&Jerry's.
Another raspberry cream cake for 13 - no time for a big party with summer softball games going on!
We missed taking pictures for a few years,
but we managed to capture Kerry's happiness to turn 16!
Kerry's cousins were with us for her 17th birthday!
Cats and cartilage piercing was the theme for #18.
Nineteen was the year of Bieber (and cats)!
Twenty was the year of an odd cat cake and a trip to Sweet Frog.
We visited Kerry in Burlington to be with her for her 21st birthday.
Just last year, we had raspberry cream cake with her friends, just a few days before leaving for the move to Nashville.
Who will she be celebrating with this year?
Possibly her main man, Fletcher.
How is it possible that twenty three years have passed already?
Kerry has grown and matured into a young woman
with a big heart full of compassion for others.
We couldn't be more proud.
We couldn't love her more!
