LuAnne

Today is my stepmom LuAnne's birthday. LuAnne is a wonderful person and she is alot of fun to be with. I feel like my family has really gotten to know her alot better in recent years and I am so glad.

Each time we have visited my Dad, LuAnne & Claire in Alberta, LuAnne makes special efforts to make sure Ava & Dillon have fun, and she is really sweet with them. They go for walks, they help her in the garden, she takes them to the library & they read books. The thing they especially enjoy is helping her in the kitchen. She sooo patiently lets them help her make everything! Ava still talks about the unicorn cake that she made with Grandma for her birthday last year!

LuAnne is very talented musically. She has a beautiful singing voice, and is in various singing groups & choirs (some that she has created & directs). Ava loves to sit by her while she plays the piano and sings, and Dilly is always nearby, dancing to the music.
LuAnne is also a fabulous cook - a highlight of our visits is always the food! I looove rice pudding, and during our visit to Raymond this summer, she helped me on my quest to find the best rice pudding recipe. (we found a few really good ones - thanks LuAnne!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUANNE! WE LOVE YOU!
