My baby sister is 15 now. Just the thought of her teetering on the edge of womanhood fills me with dread. In our eyes, she will always be a baby, but they don’t stay babies forever. They grow up, move on, and hopefully become productive members of society. We are a few months into planning her sweet sixteen and I can’t help but get nostalgic for the days when I could bounce her on my knee. I recall playing dress-up with her and wanted that feeling again. Luckily my other sister had a beautiful little girl to help fulfill this need. On a warm Saturday afternoon, I seized the opportunity to re-create this moment with my niece. My niece is in town visiting and she is just as sassy as her youngest aunt. We headed out early that morning to secure a spot in the park for a family picnic. We set up our tables and grill pretty quickly and waited for the family to arrive with the food and some supplies. While we waited I gave my straw hat and shades to little Jazzlyn. My niece is an adorable, spunky little lady who was all too happy to pose for a glamorous photoshoot. After a few minutes though, my tiny little muse was distracted and not interested in sitting still. She squirmed, took phone calls and had to have a mid-shoot snack. I tried to hold her captive a few more minutes but once a little boy her age asked her to play, I knew I had to set her free. When I gave her the ok to be with her friend, she practically threw my sunglasses at me and ran off. She didn’t want the sunglasses, but she kept the big straw hat.

Taking A Trip Down Memory Lane

In preparation for my sister’s sweet sixteen, we gathered around my mom’s table with warm mugs of coffee, flavored with soothing Classic Vanilla Coffee-mate.  We looked over many old photos to find the perfect picture for a collage that would be displayed at the event. Among them was one of my favorite pictures; my sassy little sister wearing my favorite hat and posing for the camera. My little diva wasn’t always one of my favorite people.
