Happy Birthday!

Charlotte and Audrey, with their fabulous hair, in January 2006

Today is Neal's sister, Charlotte's birthday. Charlotte is such a wonderful person. I'll never forget the first time I met her. It was right after Neal and I started dating. He took me to Salt Lake City for dinner and afterwards, we went to Charlotte's apartment in the Avenues so I could meet her. We completely just dropped in on her, and she was getting little teeny Savannah ready for bed. I remember watching that little red-haired girl running around and Charlotte trying to get her to slow down so she could read her the scriptures. She was so sweet and welcoming, just a little taste of how Neal's entire family was to me when we got married. I immediately felt as though his sisters were my sisters and I still do.

Charlotte blogs here, where she writes lovely posts, like the one yesterday about her Mama, whose birthday she almost shares.

Happy Birthday Charlotte! Thanks for being such a great friend to me and a wonderful sister to Neal. We both love you so much and wish you a happy birthday and a beautiful weekend!

Wow! Are you sure that Audrey is yours and you didn't just steal her from Charlotte? The resemblance is amazing.
