Suz,
Our relationship got off to a rocky start. “It’s nine-o-clock! You have to come home now!” “Mom said I could go, too!” And who could forget – “I have NO idea what you’re talking about.” You were evil.
All that changed after we had that little talk when you turned 13 (Suz. You’re a teenager now. From now on, you’re on OUR side, not THEIRS. If we are doing something we shouldn’t, you are to help us get away with it, not run and tell.) You came over to the dark side and never looked back.
For all our Blockbuster/Pizza Hut (pan with extra cheese. Mmmmm.) nights. For the years of sharing rooms. For all the shopping, the stealing of shoes (You GAVE those to me!), the perfecting of the two-person egg sandwich making team. For The Ring (seven days…. ) and working together at the Steakhouse and that terrible, terrible meal in Paris (“You ask for the pork rib? I give you the pork ass!”) For being the best, coolest, most fun Aunt to my kids, even when they’re trashing your house/terrorizing your pets/breaking your TV. For spoiling me rotten (my hair has never looked so shiny!) For all of that and more, I present you with this –

You can tell I reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaallly love you because I A) went to the trouble to make the fan club shirts for the kids, B) went ahead and documented the fact that I can’t draw a Z (there you go, internet. Have a field day. Honest to God – the entire time I was drawing it I was thinking “This doesn’t look right. This looks like an S. I must be making it too curvy. Needs harder angles.” Then I was done and really looked at it and thought “Or, it could be backwards. Fantastic.”) C) I’m using the video where Jonas screws up and loses it. Really, it’s more entertaining than when he got it just right.
I hope you have a wonderful, fantastic, phenomenal birthday. I know nothing could top last year’s present (YOUR FAVORITE!), but I hope you have fun with this year’s. 😉
Love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, my lovely little sister. Happy Birthday.

Thanks!
Hope you had a good one Aunty Suz (with no housework involved) See you Sunday.
LOL – Mom, when I called to tell her Happy Birthday she was mopping her floor.
Suz – for future reference, you are supposed to spend your bday laying around, with others bringing you cake, presents, and anything else you might need. 😉
I got my Wii early (I suspect because Matt wanted to play too), and I’m eating my cheesecake right now!
Happy Birthday Suz!!! So it was your 9 o’clock rule . . .hmmm! Doh Doh (despite the alzheimers!) still talks about how when we first moved to Cooper City you were too small to reach the mail box! I hope you have a great b-day!
In my defense I don’t recall this 9 o’clock rule!
