| Kylie and Alex blowing out her candles |
Today is my older sister,
Leo Kylie's, 31st birthday. I've been commenting all week about how odd it is that she's turning 31 and I'm only going to be turning 25 in a couple of months. We used to be only 2 years, 4 months and 1 week apart. Isn't that just strange? I simply cannot explain it and I'm an accountant by trade. HA! Anyway, Leo (forget it. I'm not even going to try to use her given name because in my head she'll always be Leo. I cannot even recall why on earth I starting calling her that.) celebrated her birthday with my folks last weekend and Alex helped her blow out her candles. I think he is the best birthday present she gets each year. What a cutie! I was quite impressed that trying to get her to give me birthday gift ideas this year was like pulling teeth. Is she a grown woman or something? Weird. ;) I've noticed this year just how ingrained her birthday is to me. All week I've thought about how when we were younger this would have meant I'd attend some sort of party and eat cake this weekend, but instead we're adults and she'll celebrate with her own family and we just sent a card and a gift. My parents did not even invite us to last weekend's celebration. Time marching on is a funny thing...
Anyway, we hope you have a wonderful day, Leo!!! And that you get even more cake if that is your heart's desire. :) I can recall when you turned 16 like it was yesterday...

I remember all those other birthdays too!! You were not asked due to illness. Silly girl!! You really would not have felt like riding 3 1/2 hours in a car but you and I can go at anytime!!!! Let's make plans soon.
I love you!!
