Sweet 25.

My dear sister Marcie turned 25 yesterday. We just had to celebrate her quarter-century status, so we threw a party! We spent two hours making tissue paper fluffs, prepared some delicious food, decorated the patio, asked the rain to stop (it did just in time for the celebration), ate some cake, played with water balloons and had a blast. I would have to say it was the best party of the summer so far. Some party highlights:
Grandma Fae making me wear the pink “hostess apron.”
Marcie getting a brand new bike.
Claire crying when Grandma Fae held her.
Jared getting hit on the head with a water balloon.
Eating cucumbers in vinegar.

Happy Birthday Marcie! Thank you for:
being the life of the party
making me laugh
going on shopping sprees with me
showing me how to dance
having a sense of humor
taking care of me
being my sister
