Happy Birthday Carrie Ann!

Today is my baby sister Carries Birthday. Yep, on Veterans Day.
So growing up Carrie always had no school on her birthday.
Knowing Carrie I would say she was sure that the whole school was taking the day off to celebrate her special day.
I won't tell you how old she is today, but I would like to tell you

T      H     I     R     T     Y

things about her

1.)  She is very fun to be around, and is always cracking jokes.

2.) She is the only sibling of mine that eats all of her vegetables and loves broccoli.

3.) She lives in sunny California!

4.) She is has always been tall and so growing up all of my boy friends always wondered who my cute friend was. 

5.) She is the baby girl in our family.  Need I say more.....Spoiled!

6.) She is married to great guy named John.

7.) She loves to watch movies and always knows what the "New Releases" are every Tuesday.

8.) She is a Great Aunt!  My kids absolutely love being around her!

9.) She is not afraid to be goofy in public.

10.) She is a great Mommy to her son Nolan.

11.) She gets very homesick during the holidays!  :( 

12.)  She does a really great "Junk in the Trunk" Dance.

13.)  She makes up funny songs about everything and then sings them loudly.

15.)  She used to call her swimsuit her "Swimming Case".

16.) She is really good at baking!

17.) She has been working out and has a personal trainer.  Way to go Carrie!  Keep up the hard work!

18.) She doesn't think she is very good at using scissors.  She asks me to cut things out for her if we are doing something crafty.

19.) She has cute bubbly handwriting.

20.) She is always up on the latest Hollywood Gossip. 

21.) She likes to impersonate people and it is always fun to listen to and watch. I don't think she even knows she does it.

22.) She doesn't realize how wonderful she is.  We love you Carrie!!

23.) She used to scream out my bedroom window for me and my brothers to COME HOME.  It was so embarrassing, but thinking back....... Hilarious!

24.)  She drove a couple of hours to see me when I was traveling with WSU to California.  She came a long way to see me just for lunch.

25.)  She spoils all of the Nieces and Nephews like they are own children.

26.) She is Silly most of the time.

27.)  She was victim to most of me and my brother Chris's pranks when she was little, like the time we put her in two laundry baskets, tied it shut, and gave her a ride down the stairs.

28.)  Carrie used to get a birthday present on everybody else's birthday. I guess my just Mom figured it would be easier to get her something small than to listen to her cry about where her presents  were.  I am not sure when that ended.   Last year maybe????  

29.) She has started a blog and has promised to update it more regularly.

30.) She is special to me and will always be my fun baby sister.

Happy 30th  Birthday Carrie!
