On August 2nd, 2009, My daughter Kristine turned 21. I really can believe how fast she has grown up into a beautiful young lady. This is the 21st cake. It also means I have hosted 21 parties. 21 years of motherhood. 21 years of success and failure. It really doesn't get any better.

21 years of laughter. 21 years of me saying No and Yes. Somehow that never ends. It's still No and Yes sometimes.

21 years of saying "Go ask your Dad". 21 years of her coming back and saying Dad says to ask you. OH well somethings never change.

Somethings never change. Kristine thank you for being part of my life. And I am so thankful for the light and happiness you bring into the room. And your middle name being joy you have brought much joy to my heart. Can't wait to see whatthe next 21 years will bring!
