Catching up on my.."I love you's"

A friend of mine mentioned how she liked reading the "things I love about you" that I have done for the kids birthdays and how nice it was for the kids to have and read. Jalia has just turned 12 and as I was getting ready to do hers, I noticed that I haven't done one for Carter or Gracie..(..gasp!! what kind of mom am I??)
Sooo, I am going to back waaaaay up to Aug 11, 2009.
