happy birthday, erin!

My little sister, Erin, is celebrating her birthday today!

(She's not this little anymore)



She's such a wonderful person and sister -- I hope she has a fun day at the beach celebrating!

I remember when we were little girls, we used to spend a few weeks in the summer at my grandparents' house. Erin sometimes ended up celebrating her birthday there depending on when our visit fell. One year, she must have been 7 or 8, she got a little trashcan for her bedroom filled with goodies and couldn't be happier. Who gets a trashcan for a birthday gift? It seems a little strange now, but she loved it!!

Those visits also often coincided with visits to the Philadelphia Zoo. Erin loved the sheep.





Another funny birthday thing about Erin is that she always preferred fruit to cake and wanted that for her birthday dessert. Once Mom went all out and made her something like this:



It was pretty amazing.

Erin, I loved the fun times we had growing up together and can't wait for all the fun adventures we'll have in the future! Happy birthday!!
