I have 2 nieces and their birthdays are 4 weeks apart so we have one big family party and then they have their separate friends parties. The oldest is 14 tomorrow and the younger is 11 in August. I can't believe how quickly they are growing up! The 14 year old has been taller than me for about a year (I'm only 5'3") and now the 11 year old is starting to grow fast too. I don't think she'll be as tall as her sister though. I think the older sister will be 5'6" or 5'7" when she is done growing. The younger one has a smaller frame and has always been smaller than her sister at the same age. We'll see though.


I have to wrap their presents, except the ones that are either hopefully coming tomorrow or that I know are coming late. I'm sad about that but shipping takes time. At least I have something physical for each of them until the rest of their things arrive. Gifts now are so different than a few years ago when they wanted toys.
