14

Sassy for your 14th birthday I am going write 14 things I love about you.

1. I love how strong you are when it comes to doing what is right. You choose to make the choice that Heavenly Father would have you make rather than the one that your friends or the world would encourage you to choose.

2. You have high standards for yourself and for your friends. If they start gossip you don't keep it going. If they choose to hurt others, you talk with them and if they choose not to change you choose not to hang out with them. You're not mean, you just quietly step back.

3. You are so willing to help teach others. You step in and help Wiggly Worm with reading, chores, school work, etc. You help Jaguar, Lazy Lion, and Koda Bear learn to cook.

4. You are an example to me on reading my scriptures, praying, and doing my calling.

5. You forgive your siblings for their shortcomings and even do kind things for them when they have not been kind towards you.

6. You are modest in your dress and encourage others to do the same. I never worry when you go shopping that what you bring back will be inappropriate.

7. You get so excited about planning a birthday party and you go all out to make the event special. When you planned my surprise birthday party I was amazed at all the work that went into it.

8. You are good with small children. You get down and play with them and you read to them. You laugh at their little "statements" like "are you going to brush your teeth" when the little guy next door thought your teeth were dirty when you showed him your braces.

9. When you make dinner you make sure that all the food groups are represented. You learned this at school, because I don't go through that much thought. *hangs head in shame*

10. Your smile. I love your smile. It brings joy to my face - it always has.

11. I love how you teach your dog and the way you get so excited when he does what you want.

12. I love how you are organized and take care of your room.

13. You encourage others to be there best and do their best. You follow your own advice.

14. What's not to love? I love being your mom. I love our times together when we get to just go of by ourselves.

Happy 14th Birthday Sassy!!!
