Today is my birthday! I cannot believe another year has come and gone in my lifetime. I am 24 years old. I remember when 16 seemed old (and 18 and 21!). Just for fun I found some photos of birthdays past. Enjoy all the chubby cheeks (oh, wait-I still have those!).
Here is my third birthday :) Man, I STILL love puzzles!
This is my fourth birthday. We always loved to get Barbies. This particular one came wiht sponges that grew when you got them wet. Best thing ever! I also got a whiteboard, which may have first sparked my interest in teaching. I loved that whiteboard (and later chalkboard) that I got. Many sessions of pretend school were held in our household!
Looks like my sixth birthday! I was heavily into matching sweatsuits by this time in my life. I can assure you I'm wearing matching pink pants to go along with this. Also, chocolate cake-YES.
My next obsession was fuzzy posters. I have a ton of those rolled up in my closet at home. They were the best thing ever! For the longest time I wore claw clips in my hair too. Tell me you all did too, right?
Here is my sixteenth birthday party. I got my braces off the day before my sweet sixteen. It was the best feeling to go to school the next day and show off my gleaming pearly whites on my sweet sixteen! I also got to have a Mary Kay party with my best friends. One of my most favorite memories :)
Aaaand here was my 17th birthday. You can tell old age was starting to take its toll on me. Haha .
I just love looking through old photos. I suppose that's why blogging is so important to me-I enjoy reminiscing and seeing changes that take place. Hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane!
Also, don't forget to join me over on Flock Together today! I'm all layered up in one of Elana's dresses for the occasion :)
See you there!
God Bless,

Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will
listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all
your heart."

The 24 and the 17 year old you, are THE SAME! You look like a teenager even now, and a hot teenager with an amazing sense of style :P
I'll be 24 on April :D
Happy birthday sweetie! I love seeing old pictures like that - you were just as cute then as you are now! I hope you have an amazing day!!
Happy 24th birthday!!~ oh gosh, these pictures are just awesome. I love looking through old pictures, and it's fun seeing how you've aged (and you have aged so nicely, lovely Katie!).
I definitely agree that's one of the best things about blogging--being able to go back and see how you've progressed, how your writing has changed, how you've evolved... it's like a little diary of your life without even really thinking about it. :) Have a great day, Katie! <333
Happy happy birthday my lovely sister in Christ! I hope you have a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoy it :D
Ah, I love looking at old photos too. I'm so glad my mom got into scrapbooks for a while...at least the majority of my kiddy years were documented. Haha, its fun to look back and reflect on how things were compared to now.
I miss the fuzzy posters and claw clips...
