Keri the Birthday Girl

Happy birthday to my adorable niece Kerilee Talbot Burton.

Keri is my sister Donna's youngest daughter.

I have always loved this little girl.  I was spending time in Malad with Donna on the day

Keri was born.  I loved her from the minute I saw her.

I remember toting Keri around like she was my own child and knowing that someday, I'd have a little girl just like her.  

I know many secrets about her...now she'll worry about which ones they are. (sorry Keri!)

As you can see from the picture above, she has a beautiful baby of her own now.  

Last year she brought Kauri to Erika's bridal shower.  I loved watching her

with her little girl.  She is an outstanding mother.

She is also very brave:

Have a happy day my dear!  Come down and see us.

I love you! 

This is my favorite picture of Keri.  I took it with me on my mission.

Speaking of which...she was the only 

niece or nephew who even wrote to me while I was gone.

What's not to love???
