Doll, our family baby, turned 18! {10.5} I cannot believe it. This girl holds one of the keys to my heart, I tell you. She has been a special spirit in my life since her birth. When I was ten and my parents brought her home, it was like having my own real life baby doll. She was an adorable baby and I loved toting her around and showing her off. Of course I went through the bratty big sister stage where I was totally mean to both her and Taylor, {sorry girls!} but we were ten years apart, so by the time I was going to college, I just loved her for being our baby. She is still adorable inside and incredibly beautiful outside. We are a lot alike and sometimes I swear we are thinking on the exact same wavelength. I love her. And I love that she's grown up into such a beautiful person-but she'll always be our Doll. She is a tender heart and was emotional throughout her party tonight. We missed Kels & Jaeger who were in Rigby, but otherwise everyone was there. It was a great night spent with the fam. There was lots of laughing, dancing, present unwrapping, and Gray having a bow on his head. We told him he looked like a girl and he untied it and wrapped it around like a superhero. He wore it home and slept with it, too. Sheesh! An awesome night celebrating an awesome girl. My boys are so lucky to have so many aunts and uncles in their lives to love them. I'm so lucky to have sisters who inspire me and who are some of my best friends. We love you doll and hope your 18th year is awesome!
As a side note, we gave her a gift that is still coming in the mail in a couple days, but tonight we had a list of 18 of the things we love about Doll. I asked Grayson and Beckham during breakfast yesterday what they loved and they came up with about half the answers. Several of them made us laugh pretty hard, like #10, 11, and 14! Here is our list:
1. I like when Doll plays with me.
2. I like when she goes downstairs with me
3. I love that she'll watch chick flicks.
4. I loved when Doll took me to the movie featre
5. I like Doll's funny voices
6. I like how sweet Doll is
7. I love Doll's friends, like the other Mckall.
8. I love when Doll plays legos with me
9. I love when she jumps on the trampoline with me
10. Doll is a disappearing ghost just like me!
11. Beckham loves to do snow angels with aunt Doll.
12. We think Doll is super cute
13. Beckham and me like to dance to music with Doll
14. My frosting is boring and delicious...Did I say boring?

She is beautiful and I do think it's darling how much you adore her. It reminds me much of Lynise & myself.
I can't believe she is 18! Just as I am sure neither can you or your family. I always love the relationship you have with her and Taylor. I can't imagine what life would be like without mine and that bond.
My baby sister is 10 years younger than me, too! Doll is beautiful. I'm glad the birthday celebration went well. I love that you started a new conference tradition for your family. Traditions are the best. I'm SO sorry about Amber moving. I was brought to tears reading that post...blame it on the pregnancy, I guess.
post post post! I have been desperately waiting. I know it probably seems really overwhelming cause you have done alot since this post but you can do it!
I am going to come over today or tomorrow and give you the pumpkin patch pictures and get some halloween ones from you.
