What is surprising is what the 15-year-old girl did for her. And I'm not trying to be rude, because the 15-year-old girl often performs acts of service for her siblings, but this time she really went above and beyond.
First, she made THIS triple berry pie for one of our Family Home Evening treats to which we invited family over to celebrate the 9-year-old girl's birthday....
Okay, I don't even know how to do a lattice crust, even after watching her. And don't you worry, I'll post this recipe later on in the week, including directions on how to make our famous shortening-free pie crust.
Then she cut out the sweetest message to her sister out of carefully-cut pie dough pieces, sprinkled them with cinnamon and sugar...
....baked them...
....then covered them with a dish towel and left a note...
So sweet! And to make things even sweeter, the birthday girl wore this hat much of the day...
Thanks for remembering your sister, 15-year-old girl. You are my inspiration!
And now, a slide show looking back on the 9-year-old girl's past year. Enjoy!

Pictures were SUPER BIG - had to click on them to see them.
How great of the 15 year old to do that! The pie looked amazing, and I love the hat on the 8 year, I mean 9 year old girl :)
The pie is beautiful...but I am sure it does not hold a candle to the sis that made it.
What an amazing young lady.
Thanks, Anon, for the heads up. That happened to me earlier this morning, but I hope it's fixed now? Just let me know. Thanks!

Happy Birthday to your nine year old. I have a nine year old now as well.
