{bree, dawn and paige}
On April 23, 1981, I received news from my dad that there was a new little girl born into our family, her name was Paige. Now there were three. We couldn't wait to meet her.
Dawn and I looked upon the real life doll when she arrived home, intrigued by the golden fuzz upon her head. This little doll endured a lot at our playful hands. Crazy hairstyles, photo shoots, and rides down stairs in cardboard boxes were just the begining.
It was not only the yellow locks upon her head that made her different from me. She has beautiful blue eyes (as do my other sisters), athletic abilities, and an abundance of other talents, and qualities that I adore.
Paige was always a willing participant in my home productions. One in particular was the interpetive dance performance of The Lion Sleeps Tonight where I back-combed her hair to look like a lion's mane, and made her a costume from construction paper. I think I am indebted to her for life for that alone.
Today she is adventurous, generous, grateful, enthusiastic, and playful. She is incredibly resilient (we may have had something to do with this, Paige). She loves her family, her husband and animals, and she truly enjoys life.
Happy Birthday Paige! I hope you celebrate, the way we did the day you came to us.
Love Bree

Hi Bree
