21

How did it happen?  So many birthdays gone by.  I still think of my girl as being a young thing, more like this.


Or maybe this.


I could swear this just happened.


And I still remember when I was amazed at how grown up she looked here.


She has slowly but surely turned into a young woman, with each passing birthday.



No longer a little girl.


But a grown woman.  Happy 21st birthday, my bunny.  I love you.

    Not only a grown woman, but a gorgeous one. And it reads through the lines how proud you are of her.
    Happy 21st Birthday to your beautiful daughter. Hope you all will have a wonderful day to remember.
    (and tell her off for growing up that fast without permission!!!)

    It's amazing how they do that. It seems like you have lifetimes ahead of you when you're pregnant, and then they're grown and you're left blinking and saying, What the heck?!? Happy birthday to your daughter!!!

    Lovely pictures of your beautiful daughter.
    It looks as though you all had a day to remember to celebrate her special day.
    Your sampler is amazing. Every time I visit your blog I want to get back into the big stuff again but I know I'd start something and never finish it. Unlike you as you seem to produce these big masterpieces effortlessly!
