Memories made

Dec 27, 2011

The day I became an aunt was such an amaz­ing day. My sweet niece Amanda was the first to come along and make me an aunt. She would come and stay with me and Alan for two weeks, each sum­mer. I would sit out­side on the patio and watch her as she poured water from a lit­tle pitcher to a cup for HOURS straight or watch her play dress up, then as she got older show her how to put on make up and sur­prise her at a foot­ball game when she was cheer­ing as well as many other spe­cial moments. Each time we were together we watched or talked about the movie Cin­derella. We’ve watched it so many times I can hon­estly say, I lost count. But since it is my favorite movie ever to watch even to this day, I never thought twice about watch­ing it over and over and over again while Amanda was either on my lap or at my side.

Well that sweet lit­tle girl is now 20 years old, in col­lege to become a teacher and gave me this gor­geous glit­ter accented “Cinderella’s Car­riage” glass orna­ment for Christ­mas. I had to hold back tears when I opened her gift. I was truly touched and so happy to know we still share in our love of Cinderella.

Mem­o­rable Hugs!
