happy birthday, sweet seventeen

YAY for the teen's birthday!  my girl is 17 today - can you believe it?  seems like only yesterday when we celebrated her sweet sixteen, or even when she graduated from being "the kid" to "the teen." 

we got the party started earlier this week, with her birthday disneyland outing.  she's wearing a tiara and a special birthday button, if you can tell from this picture.

i got all sappy and stuff last week, so i'll spare her (and you) from emo wan 2.0.  and i'm a horrible singer, so i'll let the bean take care of that part.

we got nuthin' but love for ya, baby.  can't wait to see what the next year brings!
