Rave: My xmas presents for my neices

[JackofDiamonds]

You have no idea. My brother and sister both told me they were having babies at about the same time - a few months before I was going to move back to St. Louis. I've never really cared that much about kids and I was so scared that I'd have to pretend to feel those feelings other aunts feel.

But now, after 3 years back in STL, they are the best thing(s) that ever happened to me. I am tempted to go to my parents house New Years Eve (instead of going out) because they will be babysitting my nieces.

They are so amazing and precious.

I plan all of my trips home to coincide with my sister and 3 nephews showing up from North Carolina. I made my friends (mid-20s) watch videos of my nephew doing a clock puzzle before we went out on Saturday night. Yes, I am that cool.

i have 19 nieces and nephews with 2 more on the way.. they're alright i guess..

If I had that many I don't know if I could have ever developed the feeling I had. It is really hard for me to like kids (plural)...it was so easy to live a kid (singular).

You either have a small family that humps a lot or you come from a large Catholic family.

Either way...yikes.

any of them
