It's Thursday guys - we are almost there!!!
Yippee!!!
Today I am thankful for my nieces and nephews. They constantly remind me how important I am to them and how much they enjoy me being in their lives. I love that they want to spend time with me and I enjoy that I am the crazy aunt! I would not want to have it any other way!
I want them to always know they can come to me with anything at all!!!! I will never judge them! I love each and every one of them more than myself and would do ANYTHING for them.
Here are the adorable little (and not so little anymore) munchkins. PS - I think that is how you realize you are getting old...when those adorable little babies (I used to change your diapers) are now grown up with real jobs and houses of their own!!! HA HA
Here are all eight of them are in age order...
Jordan was my very first born niece! Today she is a grown woman who happens to be a nurse and own her own home!!! She is also mommy to a sweet kitten named Penelope!
Jess was second! She is now a grown woman and a third grade teacher!!!! Sooo proud!! She is also Mommy to a fur baby kitten named Max!
Third in the line up but first nephew!!! Love my Matthew to pieces. He is a sophomore in college!!! He played basketball his freshman year but has quit to focus on enjoying his college years (You only get to do college once!)
Fourth in the line up but my very first God-daughter is Kyleigh. She is super sweet and adorable and in 6th grade this year and she loves volleyball and dance.
Ryan is next - although technically these next two are tied!!! Yes, they are twins! So he and his sister are tied and I can't remember who jumped out first so we will leave it at a tie! He is super funny and our comedian and magician - he loves hockey and soccer!!! He is in 5th grade already!
And Aly...the other twin - ha...she is also in 5th grade this year! She is the sweetest fifth grader I know!! She loves gymnastics and dancing!
Followed up by this sweet little 3rd grader Madeline! She is also the sweetest 3rd grader I know! These last five all live in the same town and spend a lot of time together! We love that they are close with their cousins! She is an ice skater and loves soccer too!
And finally the last one - or so I hear - Brody!! He is so sweet and always smiling!!! As you see here...he was scheduled for a surgery on his ears and was smiling the whole way through it! He is the happiest and most positive kid I have ever met! He is into playing hockey, flag football, soccer and ANY other sport on the planet!
I love each and every one of these sweet children with all my heart and I am sooo proud to be Aunt Annie!!! It truly is my greatest role in life to date!!
I hope everyone has a thankful and gratitude filled day!!!
