Today is Rebecca's birthday! I figure once we're in our 30's, we just really don't need to keep track of our ages anymore, right? Let's just celebrate!!
Last Saturday the fam all came over for a pre-birthday lunch for her. I feel bad it wasn't more organized, and lets face it, all of these babies, all of their parents, Ella and that darn school bus toy are a sure fire formula for major chaos!!!
It was so nice to hang out though! I love that our family all makes the effort to get together for occasions like this even when they seem totally impractical. We did take advantage of the opportunity to take the first picture of all SIX cousins...
(I stole these pictures from Becca's blog - I love her caption to this next picture: Rach went to rescue, and the kiddos scattered!!! I love this shot! Benny is falling down, Lily is making a run for it, Mia is outty, and Noah is moving on to the next adventure. Ella is smiling, though!)
For those of you that know Rebecca, you don't need to be reminded what an amazing person she is. Growing up we were mostly enemies. We fought a LOT. We had to make pacts at Girl's Camp to keep the peace at all costs! Somehow though after my mission, we became best friends! Here are a few of the things I love most about my sister:
- Her generous heart
- Her ability to sell "ice to an Eskimo!"
- Her work ethic
- Her talent in choosing paint colors and home deco
- She can create beauty in anything she touches
- Her makeup is immaculate
- Her bump on her nose (hey we're all human!)
- Her example of motherhood to me
- She ALWAYS looks amazing in pictures
- Her rhyming genius
- Her tenacity
- Her friendship

Thank you so much Mach! :D
You are both such strong, amazing women, I'm not at all surprised that you fought! I love how close you are now, though. Can't wait to see that new adorable baby!
