"Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake."

(Here's the last part of catching up for you!)

At the beginning of the month (January 3rd) my oldest niece turned 16! Which is sooo crazy to believe but it's true! It's so weird to come home and see all my nieces and nephews growing up, getting into the teenage years and high school....craziness! First Natalia turned 12 in December, now Sierra 16, Carmen just turned 13 a couple days ago, Brian is turning 15 next month and is now taller than me and such a cutie! It's great though because they like to hang out with me (most likely cuz I have a car and will do stuff with them, but it's fun) and it's more fun to talk to them now that they are older and I don't have to entertain them by playing games or chasing them (not that I don't like to do that with the rest of them that are still young, it's just nice now that some of them are older and more interested in mutual things :)

Anywho, on the 2nd we had a big Sweet 16 birthday party for Sierra here at my parents house, which was pretty fun. There was lots of food, as usual, and lots of people, also as usual. Here's some pics from the event.

(All dressed up for the party! Her colors were pink, black, and silver so we dressed to match :)

So there's a little peek into Sierra's party. She's grown up into a beautiful, smart young woman, very quirky but lots of fun and I've loved being her auntie! Love ya CiCi!
