Fun, Foxy & Fifty ...

On December 20th...believe it or not...

we celebrated my beautiful sistah's

50th Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had circumstances been different,

I'm sure we would have had more of a

par~TAY for her.  But without one of

her main men not being able to be there:(...

we just opted for a fun dinner out. 

And it was JUST that...

VeRY FuN!

My Hunter B keeps me so hip ;)))

Mary Lynna is something else, I tell ya!
She is very outwardly beautiful

and always has been (even at birth...

my mother has confessed that Lynna

was the prettiest baby!!!  ha!).

But Lynna is JUST as BEAUTIFUL

on the inside.  She LOVES everyone

and makes friends with EVERYONE

she comes into contact with.  Seriously!

Lynna is funny, generous,

honest, vain (ha!),

and truly an AMAZING person.

Being thirteen years younger than Lynna,

we have always had a very special

relationship.  Lynna has mothered me

my entire life.  I've always been her

baby.  She taught me EARLY on to

always be nice to EVERYONE

no matter what.  I took that lesson of

hers to heart and it's made a

difference in my life. 

I love my gorgeous, hilarious,

fun-loving sister with all of my heart!

Lynna LOVED Barbies as a child.

How creative that my Mother got

Lynna the 50th anniversary

Barbie & Ken!!!

In the first days after Trav's accident,

people were showing up at the hospital

and I'd ask how they knew Lynna.

"I met her at Souper Salad."

"I met her at Dillards."

"I met her at Luby's and we

became friends and started eating

together every week."

I'm not kidding!!!

I couldn't believe when I found these napkins.

Lynna is SO fun, foxy & now fifty!!!

I know I shouldn't pray such a vain thing...

but dear Lord, please let me look half as

good as my sistah when I'm 50!!!  (;

Haddie wore a leopard tu tu that

Lynna got her last year.

Lynna loves ALL things animal print

and ALL things BLING!  ;)

Walker calls Lynna a DIVA!
We might have a Little Lynna

on our hands...........

Fifty AND Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Macy should have been Lynna's daughter!!!;)

We allllllllllllll agree on this one!

The Kardashians in full effect ;)))

Look at Kris and Bruce in the background!!!  ha!

I love my beautiful SISTAHS/Best Friends!!!

I couldn't help but ask my dad what it

felt like to have a daughter who is 50?!?!?!?!?!

Lynna is SO LOVED by SO MANY!

And loved MOST OF ALL by her

two handsome and sweet sons...

This gorgeous sister of mine has had some

tough times in her life and she is so

very strong.  Her very best friend that she

grew up with and had moved to another town

with and married friends was murdered

by the man she had married

(a friend to Lynna and Scott).

Her other childhood best friend

died from a horrible disease.

Lynna fought with all of her heart

to save her first marriage to a

really good man but one that had

made some major mistakes.

And now...well, this is the

ultimate.  She is living a

mother's nightmare...

but with GRACE and FAITH

and INSPIRATION.

I am so proud of and so

thankful for my fun, foxy

 and fifty year old sister.

She is not just my big sister...

but also a mother

AND a best friend all in one!  :)
