On Your 12th Birthday: 12 Things I Love About You


1. Those amazing eyelashes and gorgeous baby blues
2. Your voice that goes higher the happier you are
3. The way your gut laugh is contagious
4. The way your hair grew in so curly this year. CRAZY!
5. The fact that your teacher never misses a chance to tell me how much she loves having you in her class. She loves that you always gets her sense of humor and can come back with something on the spot
6. Your willingness to forgive our shortcomings as your parents
7. You love with everything you are
8. Your love of spicy foods
9. The fact that you're 12 but you still let your mom pinch your cute tushy every now and again
10. You set aside time to play with the little boys in the neighborhood who regularly ring our doorbell and want to "play with Mason"
11. The way you don't argue about doing work but dig in and get it done
And last but not least
12. The way you stole my heart 12 years ago today, set up camp, and have occupied a huge spot there ever since.
Happy Birthday Mason. I hope it's been great!
Love You!
