happy birthday suzy!!

it is suzanne's birthday today!!(suz, you are the first person i did an announcement for actually on their b-day and not a week or month late, you should be proud)!! suzanne is barely older than me and we have been the best of cousins and friends since i was born. even though i have always been taller i still look up to her in so many ways. she's the one who got me started on a blog. i wish i was as good as her cause then i would know how to post pics from our younger days. she also got me hooked on sixteen candles. movies are always fun with suzanne cause she always remembers the funny parts and we'll laugh at them over and over. She taught me how to dance (i will never forget our moves to spice girls "wannabe"). suz used to love butter popcorn jelly bellys and i still think about her whenever i see any jelly bellys.

suzanne is the best mom. ellie is so lucky to have such a wonderful mom who loves her daughter so much. it is crazy how much ellie looks like suz when she was her age. ellie has such a happy and fun personality just like her mom!!

we love getting together with all the cousins. we need to do it more though. i especially loved and still do love going to family partys cause suzanne was and is my best friend there!!

suzanne is so talented and creative. she decorated this tree for my mom and everyone always comments on it. it is a good thing i have her to help me someday cause i am not good in the creative or decorating area.

suzanne and i have so much fun together. it is the best to have a cousin so close who i have always got along so good with and alway have a blast with. i love ya suz!!
