Birthday

Today was my sixteenth birthday. My youngest sister gave me a pad of paper and a doll, (incidentally, the same doll I gave her about a year ago) and my next youngest gave me a hand-sewn dress for my bitty baby doll. Mama bought a candy jar, and all my little brothers and sisters found pretty rocks to cover the bottom of it with, and Mama put in a nest with two eggs in it that I'd found earlier this year. Daddy bought me a pair of small, (as in, wouldn't fit on my pinkie if I tried small) 14 karat gold hoop earrings. I'm wearing them right now! They are my only earrings that don't bother my ears, and they look really good with the necklace Daddy got me for my thirteenth birthday. ^--^
