She's Here!!!!!!!

After a LONG 1 year and 7 months, my sister is finally back home from London!! We have been waiting all summer for her visit! I am so thankful that the waiting is over though- time to have FUN!

My sister had been shopping non-stop for Aubrey. What a lucky little girl! My sister brought Aubrey a Paddington Bear- straight from London! (and despite what the picture shows, she loves "Farmington" as she calls him.) =)


Spending some quality time with Lauren and Jon after eating a yummy dinner. My Dad made his infamous "mixed grill" and we enjoyed lots of wine. He's holding up quite well for doing without my Mom all summer!
HAPPY!!!


The day after my sister arrived was her birthday. We all went out to dinner to Carrabba's and it was a lot of fun! More food and wine. =)

Do we look alike or what? Well, we are "Irish Twins".

Pop-Pop's got all of his girls... minus my Mom of course!




And even though my sister left when Aubrey was only 14 months old, it's like Aubrey just knows who she is because it's like they just took off where they left off. Maybe it's because my sister lets Aubrey do things like this!!



And then, a couple of days later, my Mom came back from England! We're finally getting our stolen family members back from Great Britain- it's kinda nice. =)

My Dad- the person who I get all of my paparazzi skills from apparantly- had to catch the moment of me and Aubrey seeing and hugging my mom for the first time in nearly 8 weeks!

Family picture time! I like how we all match. And poor Nick got his head cut off by my dad.


Awwww.

More pictures to follow from our Birthday Bash at the Spamatics! I think we even got video of Nick doing the moon walk!!!!! Stay tuned. =)

You do look a lot alike your sister. Looks like you are having a lot of fun. Why was your mom in England for so long? Visiting your sister?

Lori- my Mom is from England and has TONS of family there and since she hates the summers here, she goes to England and France to take a break from the heat. And my sister moved there because we have dual-citizenship from my Mom... and she has a boyfriend there. =)
