Birthday girl.

Amber,
Happy Birthday Sister!


Thanks for living 5 houses away and being there for me every single day!

Thanks for letting my kids walk in and out of your house, feeding them dinner at nights, letting them stay all day, loving them like your own.

Thanks for all of our summer, fall, spring and winter walks. An hour getaway with a sis is heaven sent....talking and talking, about life, about motherhood, and kids.

Thanks for all your delicious treats at my doorstep, your golden chocolate chip cookies, your peanut brittle...but my all time favorite: your soft, twisty, cinnamon bread sticks. You are a baking queen and yes, you need to publish a book...you are amazing!

Thanks for being mason's second mother. I mean it.. for reals! I think that's what breaks my heart the most...Mace losing his mama! Your hugs, your quick trips to the 7-11 for Slurpee's, your tea parties...oh the sweetness you give to Mace and thus to me! It means the world....

Thanks for being my sis on lonely days, grabbing a diet coke, chatting the long afternoons away, taking the kids to East Sandy, the parks, hanging out, feeling the warm sun....love it!

Thanks for the summer of '09. It wouldn't of been the same without you. The secret pool summer will go down in the history books.....hot summer sun, hanging at the pool for hours and hours, letting the cousins play till their hearts are so happy..oh those are the DAYS!

And thanks sis, for your "heart!" Yes you should know what I am talking about...you would give anything and everything to help somebody. Your example of service to all of us is amazing. Your hot cooked dinners, your babysitting our kids, your sweet words and kind gestures.....they do NOT go unnoticed. If someone in our family needs help, you are always the first one there. What an example to me...

In the end Sis, Happy Birthday, I am so so so lucky to have you in my life. And yes, you are one of my best friends in this whole world. Oh my heart right now! I will need you so much in the next few months.....but sister, Happy Birthday from me, from my kids, from Mace and Ry. We love you, and appreciate you in the Stott life. We love you! You are a fab sis and friend. Thanks for all you do.

Hope you have a great birthday! We will be seeing you today (soon!) Lots of celebrations!

Cheers to 34 fabulous years!

love you! Tawny
