Happy Birthday CoCo!!!!
Here are a few things we love about her...
- her laugh, i can remember when we were little... her talking on the white wall phone with the long cord in our old kitchen and just laughing...it would always start out so big..and we would tell her that her laugh was too loud and embarrassing..
- talking on the phone with me foreverrrr while i am bored and driving
- the dramatic attention everything gets..."kate, (dramatic pause) your house looks sooo good" or just fill in the blank with whatever you can think of! :)
- She's nice to everyone she meets
- She gives special attention to those that might be ignored
- values family and always works to get everyone together
- Worries!!!! If something is wrong with ya..she'll be thinking about you!
- She is an official voice reader..ie: "kate, you sound good today" you sound tired today...etc
- Gift opening--She cries EVERY christmas when she opens her gifts! :) and takes 99999 hours to open them!
- She's a wonderful note writer...taught me the importance of thank you notes!
- gives back to her community
- makes the best banana bread and poppy seed bread
- creative, we used to have the best birthday parties, valentines day boxes, etc!
- she laughs at herself
- used to scratch our backs till we fell asleep
- does not take pride in material things
- believes in water therapy...a bath will cure anythingggg!
- Has given me a pure example of a good marriage
- She helps ME be a better mother, everyday!
