Wine and Birthday Cake.

Sunday was my little sister Aimee's 21st birthday. First let me just say, I can't believe my baby sister is 21.


Look at that face. She was so adorable. Annoying.. but adorable.

 The birthday girl.


The only thing she requested was a pumpkin spice cake from a local dessertery, The Picnic Cafe.

 Because she turned 21 on a Sunday (We are a dry county on Sundays) we decided to go to a wine tasting at a local winery in Dahlonega, Wolf Mountain Vineyard's.

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of.  You know whatever you do, they'll still be there.  ~Amy Li

A sister is a friend for life..

Today is my little sisters twentieth birthday. I seriously can't believe it. I remember the day she was born. I was five and I had been waiting forever to meet my sister! When I saw her I was instantly in love but also disappointed and started to cry because she was not big enough to be my friend.

The day I met my sister.. 11/4/91

Growing up she was annoying. She was so cute and always stealing everyone's attention.
I used to have to take her everywhere with me. You couldn't help but love her though..

Mommy, Aimee and me.

Us with our great granparents.. Nannie and Poppie.

Us with Aunt Bessie.

Mom used to make us do things like this..

Thats right.. Matching Halloween costumes. 

Aimee was always making up random songs. Songs about her sippy cup, songs about Jesus.. come to think of it she still makes up random songs.. I guess some things never change. We used to have a shared bedroom when our brother Zack was born. When we moved into a bigger house we had separate rooms.. yet every night we still slept together. I couldn't sleep with out her. She's the sister that holds your hair when you are sick, crys when you've had your heart broken and stands behind you as your maid of honor and holds your bouquet at your wedding.


Boy, was I wrong (about her not being old enough to be my friend).. She is now my best friend, the one person I know that I can tell anything to and she would never stop loving me. Yes, I have other best friends too, but there is nothing like a sister-best friend. A sister is a friend for life.

We made these aprons when we were kids..




We love each other..


We've conquered the world together..


Happy Birthday Sissy... I love you.
