Happy Birthday, Sissy!

Three short  years ago, a little girl came into my life that would change me forever. Her name is Erin but we call her Sissy. Sissy is my younger sister’s little girl and she honored me by entrusting  me to be  her Godmother.  I don’t know how it is in other cultures but for Hispanics, being somebody’s godmother/godfather is a big deal. She calls me “Tia Mama” which translates to Auntie Momma, a name which we made up letting her know that even though I’m not her momma, I’m the next best thing.  I adore her, just like I do the rest of my nieces and nephews but it is quite nice being almost as good as her momma:) Happy Birthday, my darling.  Thank you for blessing me with you!

Erin Isabella….even her name is BEAUTIFUL!

Sissy, Dora, and Tia Mama. Say Cheese!

Sissy and her real Momma…isn’t she wonderful!

Ok, so part of my duties are to bake a cake for Sissy’s B-day. This year, I bought the cake mold as usual except it was missing the cute little photo that showed what the cake is supposed to look like when it’s done. All I can say is that Dora the Explorer got into something she shouldn’t have! Kids, don’t let this happen to you!

Erin’s brother, Aiden.  He calls me Tia Mama too! It’s good to be loved:)

The Usual Suspects.
