Birthday Bliss.

Today I am celebrating not only one of my favorite people's birthday but two! 
Although several years a part, we have spent the last eleven years celebrating my sister
 Tamara and my niece Emma's birthday together! Today is no exception. 

I am so thankful to have both of these people in my life! 
I am so thankful for all of the laughs, tears, and even sisterly fights growing up with my sister. 
I am thankful for the beautiful mother, friend, and sister that Tamara is and for the way she leads by example. I am thankful that no matter what I can always count her for support and love. 
And I am so thankful for my sweet eleven year old niece! She is the oldest of seven nieces and nephews on my side of the family and she is amazing. She is much more mature (well at least most of the time) and confident than I think I was at her age. She is full of so much laugh and love and has the sweetest spirit. 
I look forward to celebrating many more years of joint birthdays with these two and am thankful that I have already had years of celebrating their life!
