Today I have not one, but TWO sisters celebrating their birthday! And no, they aren't twins! They just happened to be born on the same day, 19 years apart. We will have a fun birthday weekend. I just love birthdays, I think it's so neat to celebrate the person and do something special for them.
Having a sister is the best thing on Earth, it truly is. Sisters share such a special bond and I love all my sisters-they are all so unique and different. A sister is someone you can fight like crazy with, but they are still your best friend in the whole world. I hope that one day Emilynn will have a sister to share this experience with.
Amanda and Alyssa are both so different, yet similar in a lot of ways.....here are some things I love about them...
Amanda is kind, very sensitive, very passionate about whatever cause she is involved with, athletic, quiet. She cried when she saw our Christmas parade float. She's that sensitive. Yet, she was determined that we would win first place-and we did! She's also taken up reading which thrills me to no end. I was such a bookworm growing up and she hated reading. Now, we both read all the time and it's been so nice because we share books back and forth, discuss them, shop for them. It's been really nice.
Alyssa is spunky, full of life, also very passionate, very caring, very independent, athletic, witty, and hilarious! She says the funniest stuff. Last year right around her birthday she came to visit the twins and when she was leaving she said...."Having twins at 7 is much better than at 6. I know so much more about what to do with them." She had turned 7 that week! Too funny! Apparently with that birthday came a lot of wisdom and maturity! I wonder what she'll have to say this year. ??? Emilynn is so much like Alyssa-she looks a lot like her and she acts like her too sometimes. It will be neat to see if that continues.
Well, gotta go make a birthday cake......with peace signs on it of course (guess which one picked those!)
Happy Birthday to two of the greatest aunts & sisters anyone could have!!!!!
