Our lovely girl turns eight tomorrow, and we're going to start up the celebration today! I thought we would kick things off this morning with a little trip down memory lane.
Here are a few favorite moments from these eight glorious years with our beautiful girl.
We love the complex, goofy, lovey-dovey, nurturing, and enchanting girl that you are.
Happy Birthday, dear Bean!! You're extra-special and we adore you!
Ms Butterbean, you are the epitome of feline perfection. Gorgeous, aloof, kitten-whisperer (you must have learned it from Grandpa), sparkle ball killer.. You are fabulous. Have a stupendous birthday!
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful inside and out.

ReplyDeleteThat tail, those eyes! I truly think she is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen, sorry Mama Lucy and Baby Winkers, but it is the truth.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. CHARLENE!!!

ReplyDeleteShe is such a beautiful and good cat. Happy Birthday Charlene!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the sleeping with Dad pic. They're all terrific, but I really enjoyed the one of her leaning against the red chair's armrest. She looks so sophisticated. :-)

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful birthday Bean! You're such a gorgeous girl and it's always so fun to see how much you have changed since you were just a wee Bean. Happy 8th!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Beanie-Boo! You're so lovely and smart and cute. I love the picture of you with Buster because it shows not just all of those wonderful qualities, but how you impart them to your little charges. You are an ambassador among kitties and a joy to the world. xoxo and ♥♥♥
