A birthday gift.

Written by Annie on October 21st, 2008

Dear Middle Sister,

In lieu of actually getting you a present and shipping it to Hawaii, I asked Nashville to wish you a happy birthday.  And they did.  Which is worth far more than an actual present.  Sorta.

By the way, I figure now is a good a time as any to mention that I borrowed a few pairs of your shoes while you are gone.  Mom said I had to tell you.

Happy birthday?

Love,

Annie [your extremely talented, beautiful, and wise older sister]

This post conveniently fits with Brody’s Positive Post Tuesday.  Cause I’m pretty positive my family rules.

    You need to post a tutorial on how you make your videos! They are excellent.

    I wish I were Tatum. How thoughtful…even if she didn’t get any cupcakes.

    Happy Birthday, Tatum.

    Oh My Gosh, Annie! I have missed you and your sense of humor! (Not because you were gone, but because I have been too busy and haven’t been able to keep up with my blogmies.) I can hardly figure out which blog to reply to. But that last line was a classic, which I must remember forever:

    “I love you like a chubby girl loves cupcakes.”

    And the post about the possum and your garbage. Too funny and too true, but I am not scared of them. I even tried to own a baby one as a pet one time, but he would never stop biting my thumb.

    I am scared of skunks.
