20 never looked so BEAUTIFUL!

Well - here we are celebrating the 3rd of 4 December Birthdays from our family. Mandy is now officially 'not' a teenager anymore. No signs of aging here! Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? Mandy was my only child born without drug induced pain killers injected in my body - actually - not by my choice - I wanted the drugs! But Mandy was in a hurry to get into this world - so she just jumped out in about 1/2 hour. I have to admit - the world is a better place with Mandy in it. Most of the significant quotes on our refrigerator come from the infamous Mandy child. For instance, "Does your butt ever get stuck on things?" was a keeper. Mandyisms...hope there are many, many, many birthdays to celebrate them. The first few years of Mandy's life she was peaceful, and quiet, and precious. Her favorite thing was to point at something and say "Hotz". She emptied all of the drawers in my refridgerator and then distributed the items throughout the house. Then some mutant gene took over and she became loud, and funny, and gifted in bringing joy to any situation. Today - she is a shining star and a precious daughter to me. Today - look at this picture and see that the future is full of beautiful things because one little spirit decided to come to our house 20 years ago. MANDY: Worthy of love, virtuous in thought and deed. You live up to your name. Happy Birthday Sweetheart. Love Mom
