There is a TEENAGER in the house!

Bring on the possibilities, bff's, babysitting jobs, drama, independence, and much more... The sky is the limit for you, Nina!


What we love about Christina....
  • Christina reads to me- Caroline (sis)
  • She teaches me songs to play on the piano - Grace (sis)
  • She keeps her cool when I *steal her candy - Thomas (brother) *reference to a photo in Thomas' scrapbook of him at age 2 taking a lolipop from Christina while she was sleeping.
  • Christina is a beautiful example of intelligence and kindness for her little sisters - mom
  • Her blueberry muffins- the whole family!
  • Her babysitting skills- mom & dad
  • She helped me learn how to ride without training wheels! - Grace
From her friend, Nicole...
  • she can brighten anyones day
  • when she smiles you want to smile.
  • she stands up for what she believes in
  • she has a really strong testimony
  • She will complete a task no matter how hard or big (like helping her sisters clean their room!)
  • She is kind to others and accepts anyone

Happy bday again, CB! Wow, teen years, I can hardly believe we're embarking on that! Don't think I've copied you when my post is very similar about Bray's faves (yes, I'm WAY behind). We do that every year too:) I always love seeing what your kids are up to and into....

I've always admired Christina as a soft spoken strong girl. Happy Birthday! I'd love to read a book that you write!

Happy Birthday Christina! I am so excited you are in your teen years. What a wonderful time. I think you need to add CA to your list because you are always welcome to visit us and we have a lot of fun! Love you so much!
