When baking is more than just an obsession. It's life.
15 Years of Beauty
On August 5, 1996, my life changed. I became an aunt the very first time to a beautiful girl named Abigail Faith. She was the very first baby in our family, and we were all very excited to see her join our clan. My parents were absolutely over the moon to finally have their very first grandchild.
Abbey was a bright, alert little baby that even way back then loved having her picture taken. I remember babysitting her one night with my parents, and she was crying and crying…nothing we did made her stop. Then I brought out the camera, took a picture, and she stopped. One second: crying. Sees the camera: stops and smiles. After the flash: screaming again. Absolutely hilarious. I will never forget that night. I still have the pictures of it to this day.
Crying Abbey!
Abbey sees the camera! LOL
Over the years, Abbey has grown from a funny, charming little girl with an infectious giggle to a beautiful young woman with a wonderful smile and a genuine love for people. She is amazing with children, and is always ready with a smile. It has been an honor to be able to be a part of those years. I have enjoyed watching Abbey through all of her life stages so far.
Like learning to talk…
…learning to walk…
…playing in the snow…
…having tea parties…
…becoming a big sister…
…being a loving cousin…
…growing bigger every day…
…learning how to be a friend…
…learning how to ride a bike…well, kind of…LOL
…experimenting with makeup…
…looking exactly like her mother…
…enjoying time with the family…
…turning into a lovely little lady…
…somehow morphing into this striking, gorgeous young woman who steals the hearts of everyone she meets…
…especially mine.
Happy Birthday, my dear Abigail. I hope you realize just how brightly you shine, and how wonderful you are. Never let anyone bring you down, or make you feel like you are not worth anything. The world really IS your oyster, baby girl. Treasure your family and friends, for they are the rocks you will cling to as the years go by. And trust me…they will go by very quickly…faster than you are prepared for! LOL
You will always be so special to me, and unconditionally loved by your family for all time. May you continue to be blessed, and I wish for you a lifetime of happiness and the love of a sweet young man someday like you so richly deserve.
I love you.
