Though it might be a good thing. See a couple of weeks ago I took Carmen out shopping for a new ski jacket. She found one she really liked, her jacket of destiny, but it was a ladies small. It didn't fit. Not even close. So I bought it for Jaclyn instead. Don't judge me! It was an amazing deal.
Carmen felt the need to (fairly cheerfully) protest when Jaclyn opened the yellow-ski-jacket-of- (Jaclyn's) destiny. Up till now the age difference between Carmen and Jaclyn has prevented this sort of problem.
The distance from here to BYU should prevent it from happening again.
The other blog-worthy present was Chloe's gift basket to Jaclyn:
Chloe made a list of 17 things Jaclyn likes and then made up a gift basket. It was awesome! Jaclyn likes music so Chloe made her a musical instrument (hair comb wrapped in wax paper). Jaclyn likes church so Chloe gave her some archived (under her bed? jammed under the dresser?) primary handouts. Chloe also included 17 cookies, brie cheese, a vase, a Chloe-created hair clip and necklace, as well as some nailish polish (3-year-old Chloeism).
It was super sweet.

Can it be so? Happy Birthday Jaclyn. Happy, happy birthday!
I forgot....
you are one talented seventeen year old!
In that last picture, Jaclyn looks like she might cry. Perhaps Carmen and Chloe aren't the only ones realizing she will soon be gone?
I like the fact that you ignored the upcoming changes in your family! Denial is the way to go.
Wow, 17 years old!
That ski jacket is beautiful, poor Carmen.
Carmen's gift basket was so thoughtful!
Happy Birthday, Jaclyn! I totally remember my 17th birthday and being 17. Bizarre. She is such a talented and amazing young woman.
Not crying. Laughing.
Love the sweet sista photo at the end! It's crazy how fast they grow up, isn't it?
Happy 17th! I love that jacket...hey, take the deals when the come, right? Perhaps it could be a hand-me-down. Will it still be anyone's destiny in a few years? Cute pics!
