Happy Birthday Christina! She is sweet 16, and yes it's true, she is pretty darn sweet. Ok, well she does have an opinion with a splash of occasional drama :) , but I have to say that having a teenager is not anywhere as bad as people make it out to be! Whenever I say I have a now 16 year old daughter, people will usually say either, "oooh good luck with that" or " oh wow, how's that going?". Why do people automatically assume having a teenager is a negative thing? Anyway, it's a very positive thing for us and we love every minute as a family. She never complains about going as a family to sporting events, kids' concerts, church, or wherever. She is respectful, GREAT with kids, a good student and loves girl time with me. Happy Birthday to my little girl who is growing up too fast!
Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter! Time does go by way too fast!
ReplyDeleteThat is cool! My mom raised 5 girls, I was right in the middle. She was often told when we were younger, "Oh just wait till they are teenagers." But each of us girls had a great relationship with our family, mom and each other and God! We didn't go through rebellious teen years. Awesome to hear of another mom who is doing a great job with her teens.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Christina!! You look radiant, beautiful and indeed SWEET!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe though that you are already 16, I thought you were 13 or so when we met, but now when I think about it, it's already 2 years ago and you were 14... Have a wonderful year during your 16, it is special!!
Happy Birthday Christina! She is BEAUTIFUL!!! She sounds alot like my Mikayla...who is also a joy!
