Your door was always open to us as kids and through young adulthood, and even now as we all have children of our own. You are a beautiful person!Leighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899143821353879514.post-20948533673745311802011-05-23T16:07:53.247-05:002011-05-23T16:07:53.247-05:00And for a head start on next year:

Aunt Carol is at the center of some of my very best memories. <br /><br />Among other things, she trusted me to babysit her three beautiful daughters way before there was ever a thought about husbands and babies of their own, even when I wasn't so great at the diaper thing (sorry, Laura). <br /><br />She also let me, at five years old, parade around in her wedding veil the weekend of her wedding, when most brides would be horrified even by the prospect. <br /><br />Her cookie recipes are some of the first that started my recipe collection, on little cards in her handwriting that say "From Carol's Kitchen". <br /><br />I love how she can be serious and yet will cut loose and be silly when the moment calls for it. A video of "Hang On Sloopy" from the beach comes to mind!<br /><br />And I love how I've never been in her presence without feeling loved. <br /><br />So happy birthday, Aunt Carol! I hope you have a wonderful day!Kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859152228977631331noreply@blogger.com
