Happy Birthday Aunt Suzie

"Have your people call my people...and let's do lunch". Halle-Grace says this to Aunt Suzie. And for those of you who know my sister, Suzanne, she has the best laugh and it is non-stop when HG is around her! Miss Magic is crazy over Aunt Suzie...it doesn't surprise me, she's the most incredible sister a girl could ever ask for...We love you Suzie we're so blessed you're in our lives!
*Sorry Miss HG ate most of your salad at your birthday dinner :)
