aaaand, also, it's Julia's birthday!!!

Happy 23rd, Julia~ you've always been my favorite, but don't tell the others. *wink* Julia was supposed to be born on my 7th birthday, and I was sooooo excited. But ever the over-achiever, Julia came two days early (coincidentally, on our uncle Barry's birthday). I'm so glad we live in the same town now... so, here's a little slideshow of Jule and Jame, through the years:

This is one of our ski trips at the Breckinridge condo... maybe 1985ish? Awwww, sleepy Jule!!



This is one of my all-time favorite pictures. Could we BE any more pissed off? At what? Who knows, but these are the faces that launched a thousand insults. We were called "Lips 1" and "Lips 2" for several years. Awwww, grouchy Jule!! Also, you're wearing red jellies, which might actually out-awesome that pout... No, never mind; the pout wins. By the way, feel free to click on the image for a larger view.


And here, we've morphed into ... Happy Jule! (You pretty much stayed Happy Jule by this era so I can stop naming dwarfs.) I think I was in college here, and you in high school. You wore that hat all the time for a while, but I'm pretty sure it was Thanksgiving 1996-1997ish.



This is Christmas, 2002: you were in college and I was ... doing whatever I was doing in 2002. Being fat, apparently.


And this is another all-time favorite. My 29th birthday. I wasn't living here yet but had a show here the week after my birthday and my friends threw me a little shindig and Jule came. August, 2005.


Hope your 23rd year is the best ever!! Hugs and kisses!!! ~J.
