17

Happy 17th birthday Elise and Amy!

A special early breakfast together, 

reminiscing about years gone by...

Arranging a birthday bouquet from the market

What a delight these past 17 years have been...

getting to know you both, sharing this family together.

You two are the world's best daughters.

An incredible birthday surprise from a friend...

Abigail gave them homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Please understand -

this is both Amy and Elise's all-time favorite ice cream...

and it's not available anywhere in the Philippines.

That gift was a big deal.

Thank you, Abigail!

We love you, and hope 17 is the best year yet!
