Today was my niece Emily's sixth birthday. I can hardly believe that six years have gone by since this beautiful little person came into my life. Emily has the purest heart, and sweetest demeanor. A cuddler. A snuggler. A hugger. A laugher. She has a smile that lights up the room, and a personality that makes even the hardest of hearts want to have kids. This was my conversation, as it happened with her, earlier tonight.
Me: Happy Birthday Emster.
Emily: Thank You!
Me: What did you do for your birthday?
Emily: We went to Friend-leeeeeeez.Me: What did you get?
Emily: A huge, huge, huge ice cream. It had vanilla, no, wait, it had cookie dough, and peanut butter, and whip cream, and chocolate, and sprinkles, and whip cream, and sprinkles all over it!Me: Wow, that sounds nice.
Emily: *giggling* Yeah. There was sprinkles all over it!
Me: Cool! Did you open any presents?
Emily: Not yet.Me: Well, I better let you go so you can open your presents. I just wanted to wish you a super duper happy birthday. I can't believe you are such a big girl now.
Emily: I know...*giggles*
Me: I hope now that you are six that doesn't mean you are too old to be my cuddle bug, or too cool to want to play with me.
Emily: Aunt Krissy, I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be too cool for you.Me: Awww thanks Em. I love you. Happy Birthday.
Emily: I love you too, Aunt Krissy!
Ahhhh... now that's a perfect moment. Happy Sixth Birthday Emily!
