Happy Birthday fabulous Mother. In honor of your birthday I have thought of a few things that I love about you. (Everyone else can add on to the list if I missed your favorite.)
- Willingness to try things (like sledding!)
- The holiday packages (love the dish towels)
- Snorting when laughing hard
- Socks for all holidays, cities, etc.
- Stories that win things on the radio
- Amazing cooking--lasagna, mud pie, chicken pillows--need I say more?
- Always bringing meals to people (missionaries, women with babies, etc.)
- Love of Jimmy Stewart and It's a Wonderful Life (I finished his biography and liked it)
- Very creative
- The Oscar Dinner
- Always putting Dad and the kids #1 (and sacrificing so much for us)
Love you! Rachel

I would also like to add that the photo is terrific of everyone!
Also, that although fun, she is also very deep in her thoughts and here spirituality, which some people miss about her.
DAD
I must say that I love that picture and it is my background on my computer at work. Thanks
The bathroom and play by play made me laugh for a really long time.
Dad your comment may be true, she has so much Awesomeness that many people may have a tough time recognizing all of it.
That is why you are perfect for her. You match her Awesomeness.
I like how she is so sweet! And I have to say I really love the Hendrickson family & how funny you all are!! I hope one day my kids say the same things about me! Except maybe the snorting while laughing haha *snort* haha ;o)
