Happy Birthday JeanAnn


Today, my baby sister turns 25-years-old. I was nine-years-old when she was born and I remember that wonderful day so clearly...especially seeing her in the hospital nursery. When you look at the petite 5 ft tall young lady today you'd never guess that she weighed a whopping 9lbs 3.5 oz at birth. And man was she strong.Maranda holding baby JeanAnn Elizabeth Fulkroad


In honor of my sweet sister's birthday I decided to list 25 amazing things my amazing sister JeanAnn (an idea I got from my friend Jaime's blog.) If you know JeanAnn (who her close family members sometimes refer to as Schnitzy) please add a comment.
  1. Her forgiving heart
  2. Her smile that brightens spirits
  3. Her willingness to open her home for her family
  4. Her beautiful long hair (from Xylie)
  5. Her gorgeous eyes
  6. Her easy-going nature
  7. She is a fun aunt--who else would spend hours playing Olsen Twin Barbies with Xylie
  8. She's great at giving pedicures
  9. She's a great ice-skater
  10. Her willingness to put family first
  11. She's a true friend
  12. She's a great listener
  13. She is honest without being offensive
  14. She's very giving
  15. She has perfectly manicured eyebrows
  16. Her fashion sense
  17. Her laugh is contagious
  18. She excels in her job even though she doesn't like it all that much
  19. Her loyalty
  20. She makes a good Margarita
  21. She loves animals
  22. She eats things like ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast and maintains a slender figure
  23. She gives good pep talks
  24. She has great dance moves
  25. She's cute even when she's giving you the "evil eye"

My sister is 9 1/2 years younger than me. That is such a special relationship. :) I hope she has a happy birthday. I don't want to think about my sister turning 25 (she'll be 18 this summer) as it seems like she was a baby just yesterday.

I just want to add that JeanAnn is a wonderful Aunt to our son Jack. He lights up whenever she's around. JeanAnn is also a wonderful granddaughter--she loves PapPap so much and visits him nearly every day. Happy Birthday, Shnitz-- you're a great sister and friend. We love you!!! Love, Mer,Shane,&Jack
