Happy Birthday Leah!

Today is the birthday of our eldest daughter!  Wow!  Happy Birthday Honey!   Hope you're home soon from your snowmobiling weekend.  Dug through some pictures and here are a couple I found.  What a cutie!

You at 2 years old, with Grandma Helga's dog Baber in your new buggy!  He was very patient and let you dress her up so cute!!! 

Then your 7th Birthday in 1974 when Grandma Helga made you a Raggedy Ann & Andy.  I know you blogged about them not too long ago.

(((having trouble getting pictures to come forward!!!)))

We always played games when we got together for birthdays and other events.  I'm not sure what game Grandpa Nilson was showing us! 

I hope to finish your birthday present tonight.  Will get together for B cake yet this week.  I know you're tired after your long ride home!   Happy Birthday and love you lots,  mom

Our First Daughter's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Leah!

February 21, 1967 - a wonderful little girl was born.  In looking for pictures, I remember I gave Leah a few photo albums with her pictures, so right now I couldn't find all the pictures I could  show you.  Here is a picture of her on her baptism day, April 16, 1967 with my mother, father and my sister Georgia. 

December 1968 - With me - almost a year old!  She's so beautiful - then and now!

This was in April of 1969 - two years old!  She loved to push her stuffed animals or Grandma Helga's dog in her bugggy.

Two years old - one of my most favorite pictures of Leah!

Here she is in 1976 in 4th grade!  Freckles, crooked teeth and all!  I couldn't find a picture now with her in braces. 

And as a young girl - with her best friend and the wind in her hair!  She would ride Curly Jo every day.

HAPPY  BIRTHDAY  LEAH - WE LOVE YOU!
