Sunday Snapshot: {21}

I'm not entirely sure how this happened.

Because I'm pretty sure I was just curling her hair for a Nutcracker performance.

But, according to the calendar, my firstborn turned 21 this past week.

I did not get many pictures of Kaelee on her big day. Shoot, we were lucky to squeak in dinner & presents. Her birthday fell on "Meet the Team" night, which meant we all had to put a little hustle in it since she is a cheer coach at the high school & had to be there. We followed along for fun!

Kaelee is a busy girl. She's in her junior year of college, majoring in early childhood education. As I mentioned, she's also a cheer coach at the high school for football & basketball seasons, & she car-hops at a local drive-in. Crazy.

Yes, I insisted on all 21 candles on the cake!

The little ones LOVE their big sister, Kaelee! Not only does she give good squeezers & read them stories, but she has a stash of goodies in her room that she's always sneaking to them. ;o)


Kaelee is determined to make Kaya a cheerleader, which Kaya is totally into.

Just before we left the stadium, I was able to get a picture of her with Kyler. Now, could someone please tell me when this happened!? I looked at this picture, & Kyler is now taller than Kaelee??? I cannot take it. The time really does go by so fast.

I love you, Kaelee, & I love watching your story continue to unfold!

P.S. I totally blew it on Kearsten's last birthday, so I owe her a Sunday Snapshot soon! Rugby season is just beginning, so that could make for some interesting injuries pictures.

What a beautiful way to celebrate your daughter.

Delighted to meet you as I just found Sunday snapshots. Hope you don't mind if I splash around a bit to get to know you. This looks like a great spot to slip of my shoes and soak in some serious goodness.

Happy Birthday Kaelee! Our daughter turns 13 tomorrow. I am pretty sure she just turned 6 yesterday, so I don't know how it can be possible. ;-)

Sounds like you have an incredible daughter!!! Beautiful name, too! We've had that name on our hearts for a daughter for a while (we think we would spell it Kaylee). We love that it is a combination of "rejoice" and "sheltered from the storm." =)
