Happy Birthday to my Niece

When I was away in Guatemala, my niece turned 20. TWENTY. This I cannot believe. In honor of her turning 20, I would like to mention 20 Memories I have with her.

1. Her at one, throwing food at me and eatsgrass
2. Her baptism in Greece, and my Grandfather bouncing her around
3. Her using a toy baby bottle as a water gun, and squirting my then-future husband in the eye during a billiard tournament, when she was 3.
4. Her trying to sit next to LML during a movie, and me pushing her over at 4.
5. Her flipping out during our carriage ride to the Acropolis.
6. Her and BFF waking me up.
7. Vampire Movies on Saturday Mornings
8. Weird pasta creations
9. Disney World in 2001- her paralyzing me in my sleep- or was it the other way around? "I'm PARALYZED!"
