I can't believe I have a sister who is 15!!

That is what Rylee said yesterday as we were celebrating Jessica's birthday!!

That girl cracks me up!! I can't believe I have a daughter who is 15!!

We let her open this present the night before...

...so she could have this in the morning!!

Of course she wanted to open her presents before school, since she picked most of them out Saturday when my mom & I took her shopping!!

There were a few surprises though - the first one was a ticket to go see "Les Miserables" in May. She is so excited!!

Rylee wore her 'team jessica' cheer outfit all day in honor of her amazing sister!! I actually made this outfit for Jess several years ago & one for Kourtney as well. They only wore them a few times, I thought it was such a waste of my time until now! Rylee & her cousins get them out everytime they are together & this week Rylee has officially turned into a cheerleader!! She has been performing her 'cheer routines' for us & Kourtney has even decided to teach her some stunts!!

Jess got a new Kindle cover from her Grandma Kat & a new phone cover from me, so they were the inspiration for her cake this year!

Nothing too fancy, but Jess was happy with the finished product!

For those of you who don't know - Jess is a bit of a pyro!! Her friend actually gave her this lighter for her birthday & so naturally she wanted to light her own candles!!

Blowing out her candles!!

We are so blessed to have Jessica as our daughter, sister, & friend! She is a great example to all of us & keeps us all on our toes with her quick wit! She is always willing to help me out with anything I ask her to do. She is a girl who knows what she wants & doesn't do things just because everyone else is doing it. She works very hard on her school work & has a 4.0!! She continues to amaze me with her peaceful spirit - she is our angel!!

Here is a poem she wrote a few weeks ago for school. She actually wrote several and they were all amazing, but today I want to post this one - it is an auto-biography poem! We love you Jess, to the moon and back!!

Jessica
Fun, happy, blonde, and relaxed
Daughter of Chad and Tiffany
Lover of good books, scary movies, and rainy days
Who feels good after a long nap, happy all the time, and loved
Who finds happiness in friends, stars and dancing in the rain
Who need to laugh, listen to music, and loving friends
Who gives high fives to everyone, laughter when needed and love to her family and friends
Who fears clowns, snakes, and move away from friends
Who would like to see the Pyramids, Rome and a million bucks in my hand
Who enjoys being alone in her room, watching the TV show Bones, and swimming
Who likes to wear sweats, t-shirts, and slippers everyday
Resident of Spanish Fork
