My 11 Year Old!

Yesterday marked 11 years since my first born entered our family.  Having a family is an amazing thing and there is always a special spot in your heart for your first-born (I can say that because I am the first-born in my family as well, but I had to compete with the baby and the only boy!)

 Here are some pictures of Kirina Lee growing up in the past 11 years:

1 Year Old
