happy birthday, eemo!

today my sweet baby sister turns a quarter of a century. i can still vividly remember my 6 year-old self telling my mom to bring home a little girl as she and my dad left for the hospital on november 13, 1986. and i'm so glad she did. :)

actually, tonight, at my sister's birthday dinner, my parents brought up that story and i asked what they would have done if she was a boy. and true to his corny nature, my dad answered, "we would have dressed him up in pink!" ;)

my sister is of the funniest, craziest, most loveable people in the world. she is genuine and giving and such a blast to be around. i am so blessed to call her not only my sister, but also my friend. and to see her as choi boy's aunt just melts my heart. remarkably, they are cut from the same cloth and cb and all his hammy and goofy behavior remind me so much of my sister and the charming and sparkly mischief that pretty much defined her as a child. :) they are quite the pair!

earlier today, my sister came over and we went outside to snap some pictures of choi boy. and though you'll see lots more from this set in a later post, i had to share the ones of cb and his eemo sharing some sweetness.

aren't they just precious together?





happy birthday, tiff! so thankful for you and so grateful for who you are in our lives...looking forward to all the many adventures that lie ahead!


*ahem, please excuse piper...um, taking care of some business in that picture...;)
