Seventeen

So My Natalie is 17... how did that happen?
I adore her and consider her one of my best friends.
She's a light in our family and couldn't be replaced!

I am not completely digitalized with Nat's baby photos yet...
I need to get on the ball! I guess that shows how old she is!

Nat had a fun time with some friends I bought her these cupcakes
that looked like Izzy I thought they were so cute!!!!!

Natalie and Craig share a birthday so we always have a fun time celebrating with them! Last year we did a huge surprise party for her 16th and his 50th so we played it low key this year.
