my youngest sibling

My sister, Abby, is celebrating a birthday today. She is eleven years my junior, but what I would have given to have her unassuming poise and maturity eleven years ago! Shoot, I still don't have them. 
Last weekend, since Abby and family were in town, my mom and brother-in-law hosted a "surprise" party for her {um, she knew}. 

LOVE these boots Jamie got for her.
Pearl enjoyed the cake.
George did not like when I took a green marker out of his mouth.
Owen and Milo actually played together like old pals. It's about time! 
Pearl honked and honked Mark's nose.

Abby is guest blogging today at a very cool blog.  Go take a look.

Well I am sure that Mark must be good at honking when she gets his nose. If he wasn't soooo great at it, she would have given up!

Owen looks so grown up in the pictures. And what a great sport Mark is

What a fun post. You both are so lovely, and are looking so much alike! Abby, you will always hold a special place in my heart as the first baby I ever hogged and hovered over. Creepy, I know, but I hope you don't mind. :) Happy Birthday!
