Butt's Birthday

Who is Butt you ask? Why my dear sweet favorite little sister of course. Why do I call her butt? I really don't know. I just always have, ever since I can remember. Anna Butt. Anna Banana Butt. Butt (all on it's own). It's just a catchy term of endearment that has never left me.
 And guess what?
Today, this very day, Wednesday the 8th of February, BUTT TURNS 18!!!
Are you freaking out? Because I am freaking out. Where has the time gone!? Where did little Anna go? The one who would run around in her little girl princess underwear clinging to her blankie? The one with long dark curls and thick bangs who would dress up as princess Jasmine and sing "I'm a lil tea-pot" until she "don't member the west." OOohhhhhh Anna. You've grown up so fast.

In honor of her 18th birthday, I decided that I want to show my lil Butt off.

From AwKwArD. 

To BABE-ALICOUS:

Being sandwiched between 2 boys as I was, it might not be such a surprise that when Anna was born I was EXCITED. She was all mine. She was MY baby sister (as she still is and always will be). I was her mommy and would carry her around everywhere we went just as a mommy should.

 Anna is one of my hero's. You know why? Because she is 99.75% perfect. She is gorgeous, funny, TALENTED, spiritual, loving... etc. etc. etc. I say 99.75% perfect because she does have ONE imperfection. She may not like it, but I'm going to say it anyways, Anna's imperfection isssssssssss.... CATS. ek.

I forgive her for loving cats. We all have our weaknesses. But other than that, I absolutely LOVE this girl. It's been hard being away from her for so long, missing so many big things in her life (aka. got contacts, got her first kiss, got her period, got zits, got a figure, got an ipod, got a facebook, performed in plays, learned to sing, learned to drive, BECAME AN ADULT). I mean, she was 12 when I left home for college. Now she is EIGHTEEN. A lot happens between that time. But even though there may be 2,500 miles separating us, she will always be my Butt. She is such a great example to me of what living a Christ-like life is like. She's a good girl, with a good heart and those things will take her to wonderful places. I LOVE having her as my sister. I wouldn't want it any other way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA BUTT!!!!!  

The day I got home from my mission. I came home to Snow White...


I LOVE YOU!!!!!

  2. I always said Anna had the best big sister in the world. What a wonderful tribute (though you know I can't stand you calling her that name!)
