28 things we LOVE about Emily

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!
This is why we love you...
1/2. You were Meredith from The Office for Halloween last year. See picture above.
1. You are an amazing piano player.
2. You are the favorite aunt of Eden and Delia
3. You have single handedly cleaned every room in the house and organized them. Two more miracles and you'll become a saint.
4. You are hilarious and came up with that last joke when Devin woke me up at 5:00 am when we were dating.
5. You hate candles and think they are the biggest waste of money.
6. You LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween and you always say that you LOVE LOVE LOVE things in general.
7. You grammar check other people's blogs.
8. You make amazing crafts for holidays.
9. You think everything smells like carrots see this post.
10. You can't be late for anything or else you REFUSE to go. Except for church. You are consistently late every time.
11. You enjoy handling raw meat.
12. You wish that the 90s never ended and maybe you are kind of stuck in them.
13. A complete meal for you must include krispy kreme or dip-n-dots.
14. You are an amazing mom to Annie and Julia and you make tasty dinner for them every night.
15. Your favorite thing is to go to the 10 o'clock $5 movies at AMC where you must have popcorn (which you can only butter because you make it to perfection) and you CANNOT miss the previews or else you'll be ticked.
16. You are up to date on all TV shows and always know the best ones to watch.
17. The one time you hit me in the face with a baseball bat...it was awesome.
18. You love art can tell anyone the backstory on all of the classics of who painted them, when and what was going on in their life when it happened.
19. Your secret shame is that you love all books about serial killers and murder mysteries...maybe we should be nervous. (see #11 & #17)
20. You love to travel and go backpacking through Europe like every other week.
21. The age you wish you could forever be. Slash forever 21 your favorite store.
22. If I ever get you angry I have to walk around the house covering my ears or else you will spoil the book I am reading or the TV show I am currently watching.
23. Maybe you tivo Hannah Montana and say that its for Annie but you secretly love it and watch it.
24. If you could make a living out of laying out and reading Entertainment Weekly slash any celebrity gossip magazine you would.
25. You wish that you could go into a family as the nanny and make the widowed husband fall madly in love with you like in Sound of Music or The Nanny.
26. You have the most amazing laugh and our whole family tries our hardest to make you laugh. It always results in Julia and I being the DEVILS to each other.
27. Everyone thinks that you are my younger sister and that Amanda is the oldest sister, not you.
28. You try to revisit childhood experiences thinking that they will be just as entertaining as adult but they never are. Like this summer when we went to sun splash or when I was 18 and you were 24 and you made me go with you to the Renaissance fair and felt like nerds and heard a weird couple talking about which lady they wanted to invite to their three-some. This is when we realized you have to go on your sixth grade field trip to enjoy either of these places and that every one else there is crazy.


WE LOVE YOU EMILY! YOU ARE THE BEST SISTER EVER!
