Happy Birthday LORI!

Today is my younger sister, Lori's birthday! She is just 16 months younger than me, so growing up people always asked if we were twins. I guess it didn't help that we were often dressed the same. Anyway, Lori is such a fun person. I love that whenever I imagine her, she is laughing or smiling. She has a great sense of humor, and she loves books, music, and movies. She can tell you the name of almost anyone in any movie, even the smaller roles. She is a wonderful aunt. My kids, and all the cousins, just love her. She knows exactly what to buy them for their birthdays and they always have fun with her. They call her "Lolo". She likes clothes and shoes, she owns way more shoes than me and I am a real shoe lover! She can talk to just about anyone and always makes people feel at ease. I am glad that we get to celebrate her birthday tonight as a family. I am also glad that she requested I make her Tiramisu for her cake b/c I love it and can't wait to have some! The photo above was taken when she visited us in Australia, over her birthday, during 2006. I added some Aussie flags to her cake so she'd always remember where she was for her birthday that year. We love you so much Lori! I hope you have a great day!
