Here is Bailey's birthday surprise from my foster daughter Peggy and her husband Richard.
They filled her van with balloons, wrote all over it, and filled each of the handles with vasaline (Lovely! LOL)
Way too funny!
What a good sister...Addi was cleaning off the handles for Bailey
Bailey said... "Mom, can you drive us and let me leave it here today?" I said...Ummm, NOPE!! LOL
My baby is turning 18 tomorrow... it seems like only yesterday that I was meeting her for the very first time and afraid to hold her for fear I might drop her.
