Aunt Leigh comes to town

What a treat! Because my sister lives on the other side of the country, I rarely get to see her for multiple days at a time. And, even more rarely is she able to visit at a time that's not during the holidays. So when she announced that she was coming this spring, her arrival date just couldn't get here fast enough!

I love my sister. I still have a dream that someday we will be neighbors, but until then, I'll take any time with her that I can get.

We did a whole lot of hanging out. We got pedis with mom, went shoe shopping, visited our childhood babysitter, went to a Thunder game and played with kiddos. Both of her nephews adore her, but her eldest nephew thinks she and Uncle J.J. hung the moon.

Here are a few fun snapshots of our sister time/family time. Go ahead and come on back, sisterbird! And bring that strapping lad you're married to with you next time.

Aunt Leigh gave him these sunglasses, and when he saw her put hers on top of her head, guess what he did!

Beautiful blues

Aunt Leigh carried her nephew the length of Bricktown. What a sweet aunt, and what a pretty pic!

Be impressed, folks. That's my seester.

Mimi showed Levi how to make whipped cream. He loves to help her cook.

The two of us with the kiddos and our childhood babysitter, who influenced our lives more than she'll ever know.
