Sydney is 12!

I can't believe my little, tiny Sydney is 12 years old today! She just really seems too little to be turning 12! She may be tiny, but she is BIG in heart! Sydney is my most sensitive, sweet, helpful, emotional, and caring child. She is always the first to help without asking, and is very much a pleaser. She is so FUN to be around, and her smile is absolutely contagious! Sydney is very much like her mama and gets a little grouchy when not fed often enough. She is like her Dad in the fact that she LOVES to tease. She especially loves to scare her Dad and get him back! Today for her Birthday we doing our usual 12th birthday routine....going to the temple for baptisms (Sydney is sooo excited for this!), going to get her ears pierced(let's hope this goes better than Kylies 12th!), going to dinner (Sydney's favorite Cafe Rio), and then going home for cake and ice cream. She is so excited to go into Young Women's and is especially excited to get to go to girls camp with Kylie this summer. She hated staying behind the last 2 years while Kylie went. We are so lucky to have Sydney in our family. She is always doing nice things for her sister and brother and even does the dishes once in a while without asking! What more can you ask from a 12 year old! We LOVE you to bits and pieces Sydney! Happy Happy Birthday! p.s Check out the CUTE slide show Kylie put together for Sydney. It's at www.kylieskoolspot.blogspot.com
