Keely's Birthday

December 6th was my niece Keely's birthday. She turned 13! I can't believe she is a teenager. She is getting so big its hard to believe time has gone by so fast. Keely has grown up to be such a beautiful girl, who is very independent, has her own style, she is so smart and funny and we are so glad to have her in our family. Its fun to watch her grow and take on life. We celebrated her birthday at my mom and dads house and instead of having a birthday cake she wanted to have snicker doodle cookies from great harvest with peppermint ice cream on top. Those of you who don't know, our family is crazy busy in the month of December because we have many birthdays along with Christmas. Starting with November 27 is my Mom's, then Keely's is the 6th and my dads is the 9th and my two aunts are on the 10th and then mine is the 12th. So you can say we get sick of cake so a lot of like to switch it up and have something else instead of cake. All though its crazy and expensive, we love the month of December and the time we get to spend with our family!
   Happy Birthday Keely!! We love you!!
