Happy Birthday Gabrielle!!!

May 31st is a VERY big day in our family-- It is Gabrielle's 13th Birthday.


Here are some pictures of her throughout the years to today. Some of them aren't the greatest as I was had to take a picture of the pictures.

New to the world with her proud PaPa.

Grandma's very first grandbaby!

Being held by her great grandma and her Aunt Becky.



















A few years later and just as cute as ever with her Aunt Cheri.











I think this was Gabrielle's 8th Birthday. It was the same time we moved into our house where we now live.

Playing with Josie Spring 2008













What a great big Sister she is!!! Playing with Josie and her friends-- at our house and at the playground.
















Here is Gabrielle's picture from just a week or so ago-- Age 12.
Gabrielle has long complained about her hair and has been asking and asking to get it professionally straightened.
Yesterday, she finally got her wish. Wim took her to a salon and . . .

Look at those really straight locks she has today while opening her presents!














Happy Birthday Gabrielle!

She's gorgeous! But we all knew THAT, right? I hope her day was fab, looks like it was. Sad not to see her or talk to her on her b-day. The blog pictures made me cry...good job, Reena. Look forward to seeing and talking w/you all soon!
love,
Becky
