WE CAN'T BELIEVE OUR LITTLE GIRL IS A TEEN!
13 THINGS THAT MAKE YOU UNIQUE BRIANNA!
  1. How you use wisdom in making decisions...you have done this since you were small.

  3. Your perseverance through your commitments.
  4. Your bright smile even in dark times

  6. Your creativity with projects
  7. How you are growing in grace and love for God
  8. You have an amazing fashion sense
  9. Your talent with hair...I love this and so do the girls
  10. Your chef abilities especially with desserts:) YUM
  11. How you make friends easily
  12. You give everyone a chance
  13. HOW YOU AREN'T AFRAID TO BE THE FRUIT LOOP IN THE BOWL OF CHEERIOS!
You are 8 yrs old in this pic...you have always loved critters. You were so excited about this treefrog

One of your first lemonade stands with friend Emily (you are 6 in this pic) and her sister Lizzy. You two have been friends since you were 3. Here is a note from her:
Brianna,
HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY!! You are an awesome friend. I don't know about you, but I can remember things that happened when we were 4 years old. Like running through sprinklers and I told you that if you would swing high enough, you would fly into outer space. We would make houses for squirrels and we prayed for the tree in my back yard that got struck by lightning. We have had some great times together and I hope we will forever be friends.
Love you,
Emily
