Every time I see my 5-year-old nephew (which is not nearly enough) I say, "You promised you wouldn't grow anymore!" and he usually responds with giggles and a sly smile and then says, "I'm gonna be taller than you, but I'll still love you when I'm bigger." Ok, so if that's not absolutely enough to make me just melt into a puddle, when I saw him this past weekend, he bestowed a collection of pipe cleaner bangles that he thoughtfully made just for me complete with beads, bells and adjustability! Have I mentioned that I love, love, LOVE, LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE being an Auntie?

As part of the Christmas countdown from my sister (see here), 2 of the days were pictures that my niece and nephew drew that were then embroidered onto fabric and framed. I love seeing the pictures that they draw because their little minds are so creative and it's fun to see their ideas develop. Plus, I think they are pretty darn cute in general!
