So once again we're celebrating a birthday at the Collins household and I'm not one bit happy about it! Time is slipping away from us so quickly and I feel like I need to slow it down so I can enjoy every minute to the fullest. Cicely was born at 12:12 p.m. ready to take on the world and stomp anyone who tries to get in her way! She was an absolutely beautiful baby with curly blonde hair, brilliant ocean blue eyes, and olive toned skin. Cissy has been blessed with not only beauty, but the self-assurance that she is a daughter of God. She has an amazing ability to withstand any outside influences and make the decisions that she knows will be right for her, and only her. When I asked Elliot what I should write about her, he came up with this poem that I think Cissy would approve of:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Cissy is pretty
so she's better than you
Touching, isn't it. The thing I find the most endearing about Cissy is her sense of humor. Just ask her to do her impression of Kip on Napoleon Dynamite. She is very quick witted, like her father, and isn't afraid to make people laugh at her own expense. Cissy is our middle child and has a fantastic relationship with both her sisters and I'm grateful everyday that they have eachother to lean on and rely on. It's a wonderful blessing to have your sisters as your best friends and I know that as they grow older their bond will only get stronger. We're so proud of the beautiful, strong, virtuous, young woman you are Cissy and we wouldn't ever sell you to the gypsies(family joke). Oh, one more thing.... heaven help the man who marries Cissy because he better have biceps the size of Elliot's and a wallet comparable to Donald Trump's.
We love our Cicely!!!!!
