I suppose I'm a little biased, but I think I have the best nieces and nephews ever. And most of them live nearby.
Today, while celebrating the one who turned 5, I was able to spend time with almost all of them (except the two currently living in Utah). What a treat!
Prior to having my own little munchkin, my siblings and siblings-in-law were kind enough to let me enjoy their babies a lot. I've taken them for frozen yogurt and ice cream. I've had them spend the night. I've danced with them at a "ball" (and for some reason always had to be the prince ;)). I've made indoor tents with them, tickled them, baby-sat them, dressed them in "gowns" and "capes" (blankets and pillowcases). I've snuggled them as babies -- and hugged them as not-so-much-babies-anymore. They've been baking helpers, packing "helpers," and gardening helpers.
They have added such richness to my life. I am blessed to call them mine as nieces and nephews. Blessed to have them nearby. And grateful to have them in my life.
What are you grateful for today?
