Seble is Seventeen!

Last week we celebrated another birthday in the family!!  Seble is 17!  What a complete JOY she has been to all of us.  I (we) cannot even begin to imagine our lives without her.  In May we will celebrate 7 years together and I can in all honestly say that she feels like she has been my (our) daughter always!  We were just looking through pics the other day, she was a young shy girl, when she came to us at 10, now we celebrate the young lady that she is.  Her smile lights up the room and our world!
A special gift that Seble received was a sweater set that my my grandma (mom's mom) made, probably 25-30 years ago.  She had given it to my mom, my mom gave it to Seble.  It is special - so many times we talk about something someone had made or given the kids and we don't have those little things to talk about or look at with Seb, Araya and Syfah.  The other cute little gift was a little baby doll, from my parents, she is sleeping with her every night...we had some good laughs...what girl doesn't need a little doll or stuffed animal?  right?  We celebrated twice..once with Troy's mom, on Seble's birthday!  It was a fun night with Chinese food and cute pink cupcakes!  We celebrated with my parents the week before with Pizza, and chip- n-mint dessert. ( my parents were in Fargo with my brother on her birthday)  It was a great week!

Happy Birthday Seble!  You are a blessing to many!
