teenager!

Yes, indeed.

You--thirteen years old, you are. 

Two years ago I bought you Barbie dolls for Christmas--fancy wedding Barbies.

Awww.

And now, so grown up. 

You make the family better--your energy and enthusiasm, your wild laughter, silly and serious, full of observations and fun.   Nobody else could ever be you.

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart.   The family is better because you're in it.   love you so, Grandma and Grandpa and everybody
