Nieces are special! Yesterday's story was for my niece Erica whose birthday is on the 22Dec. While she is not six years old anymore, but rather in her 30's now, she will always be little Eka to me! Watching her grow up and become the gorgeous, smart and witty woman she is has been a true blessing in my life. She is also an amazing mother to a very active five year old boy and two twin boys that are about to turn one. All of whom have birthdays in December!
It is hard to make their special day stand out at this time of year but we have always tried and throughout the years we have had many birthday dinners of tacos as that is indeed her favorite meal. I wish I had had the resources when she was little to take her to the Nutcracker as all little girls should experience this incredible ballet at Christmas.
The inspiration for the story though came from when I was able to take my other two little nieces, Annie and Madeline, to see the Nutcracker two years ago. The girls and I, my sister-in-law and mother-in-law all had a wonderful afternoon at the ballet. A very special memory for me and one I hope the girls will cherish forever.
If you have seen the Nutcracker or are familiar with the score, what is your favorite song?
Enjoy your day as we count down the hours now until Christmas!
Shine on!
