APRIL FOOLS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFFANY
So it's not her best picture, but all of her pictures are on her computer, and since her computer is sitting here right next to mine I took liberties and quickly picked one photo.
I'm not one for doing terrible April Fools jokes on people. It just doesn't seem right. But I must admit the ONE time we got talked into doing something not so nice, it bite us in the rear...

Our 2nd child was born on April 1st. An easy day to remember. The morning of her 16th birthday began as any other day. We all gathered together in the dinning room to read scriptures half awake, mostly half asleep. The dinning room window was in the front of the house that looked out into the front yard where we had a large circular driveway. After scriptures we gave Tiffany her birthday gifts to start her celebration. Low and behold there were car keys...after all she had just turned 16. We all followed her out to the front driveway where a BRAND NEW mustang sat topped with a BIG bow. How exciting right?! The car was parked with the driver side facing the street. So as she walked around to sit in her NEW car, there was a large sign that said "APRIL FOOLS".
OK, so that wasn't so nice I guess. So later that day the kids knew the car was on loan from a friend that worked at the Ford dealership and needed to be returned. Anyway Alan gets a sad very apologetic, somewhat frantic phone call saying that her friends and her had taken it out for a very short ride and someone had ran into them. Alan was SICK!
Ya, APRIL FOOLS!

I believe that was our last attempt at making her birthday anything other then just her birthday. I know, serves us right. But we have never forgotten it now some 11 years later.

So anyway...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFFANY WE LOVE YOU.
