HAPPY "17th" BIRTHDAY

 ~~~RACHEL ELIZABETH DEAN~~~
Happy, Happy Birthday to you!  What an awesome girl you are.  You are an amazing daughter and friend.  We couldn't ask for a better example to have as our first child.  You are constantly teaching us how to be better.  Thanks for being you!  We LOVE getting our scripture texts every night from you.  Always remember WHO YOU ARE and that you are LOVED :)  
 
For Rachel's big birthday gift this year we gave her 2 tickets to see Taylor Swift.  She chose to take Ellie Holt with her.  They had great fun making memories together. 
 
 
The Sunday before her birthday we had the grandparents over for dinner.  It is always fun to have a reason to have them over and get to visit with them.
 
 
On her birthday eve we went as a family to Italian Village for dinner.  I sure LOVE those times we get to spend together as a family.  It seems like lately somebody ALWAYS has something, so the times we get to spend together are AWESOME! Rachel spent her birthday afternoon with Taylor hiking and going to lunch.  That evening 8 of her friends took her to get a manicure and to dinner.  She definitely felt the love :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mike and I made Rachel this candy poster that we had waiting for her on her bed when she got home from all her birthday activities :)
