My Niece Is a Teen-ager!

by Dawn
(Southern California)

This little one (not so little now) was born on my birthday 13 years ago. I'm also her godmother.

Since she became my birthday soul-sister, I have gotten to ride her party coat-tails!

Going to her celebrations has given me a second childhood.

We have enjoyed together trips to Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Adventure City, choo-choo trains, bouncy jumps, cotton candy, lollipops, clowns, and roller-coasters.

But one of my most favorite times with her was on a non-birthday. She was just learning to ride her bike, and I was helping her.

She was finally getting it, and was able to follow me for about 2-feet without falling.

I was so excited, and yelled out, "You did it! Wanna try again."

She, with a big grin on her face, nodded excitedly and said, "Auntie, we have so much fun together!"

Yes, we do! Happy Birthday, Peyton!
