My little brother and I shared a room back when I was about 11. He was 3. Fourteen years later he beats me in the height department... even when I've got my 5" heels on.
He used to tag along with me and my sisters when we'd play with cousins, build forts, and have adventures. Now I tag along when he and his friends play basketball, or go to the movies.
He used to be a pain in the butt. Sometimes he still is. But the fact that we can have (fairly) intelligent conversations nowadays makes living in the same house easier.
I used to be able to beat him up. Even though he's taller than me now, I am obviously still capable of causing him pain... or else why would he have obediently agreed to get an Easter Sunday picture with me?
Little brothers are cool. ;)
What I'm Wearing:
- Maxi dress by apostrophe - thrifted
- Cardigan by New York and Company - hand-me-down
- Shoes by Fioni Night - thrifted
- Necklace - made by a friend from a piece of home dec trim
- Earrings from Dayspring - gift from a friend
We had a wonderful Easter Sunday with family and lots of food (I may have made the much lauded buffalo chicken dip... yum). Everyone was well behaved, the kids enjoyed hunting eggs with the cousins, and one sister ended up in the emergency room. It's not a real family holiday without a trip to the hospital.
(FYI, she's doing fine. 8+ stitches, but she's a trouper.)
So thankful to be able to spend the day with my family and reflect on all the wonderful things He has blessed me with... and that He is alive. It's worth celebrating every day.
