My family is really, really big and loud and loving and amazing - and that's just my mom's side. My grandma, Nellie (whom I'm named after), came from a family of nine. She had six sisters and two brothers. Actually, she had a twin sister named Aunt Nell. And out of all of these siblings they had a lot of children and grandchildren and great grandchildren and so on. Out of all of the siblings only two are still living and we thought it would be a great way to honor them by having our first family reunion.
Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins came from near and far and we
really enjoyed ourselves catching up and remembering old times.

Then today I spent the day celebrating my 24th birthday with
even more family. We shopped and ate out and enjoyed ourselves. I'm so thankful
God blessed me to see another year and I can't wait to see what He has in store
for me.

| Whoo-hoo! I'm 24! See any wrinkles yet? |
As I said a little earlier we went to eat out, but what I didn't mention was
that we were the only ones in the restaurant. You see, since today is Sunday,
the restaurant we went to usually closed at 2, but since it was my birthday
they stayed open late and let us have our own private little birthday lunch.
Pretty awesome, huh? Well, I thought so.
Oh and to make things even better Google wished me a "Happy Birthday" and I can honestly say I've never had a search engine do that before.

Here's a pic of my birthday outfit and try to ignore my "I mean business"/hands-on-my-hips/channeling my inner super hero pose.
Wanna try the look? Top to bottom: Graphic Tee - Maurice's; Black skirt - Old Navy; Red Cutout tights - Walmart; Boots- Shoe Department.
Peace & Love,
Nellie
