happy birthday, "aunt cass"!

After watching "Big Hero 6" a few years ago, my kids were convinced we needed to call Cassie "Aunt Cass" just like the "mom" in BH6. Cassie was my first sister in law (!!) and sometimes it is hard to remember what I did during all those long years with all those boys, 
being the only sister in law (then again, you know, my memory pre-kids is...gone?)

But seriously. We love Miss Cassandra. She's the perfect fit for "first dowling auntie"




 she got little a this little faux fur vest for her first christmas (When she was 8 months old)... I promise I have pictures of it but I can't find it so you'll just have to enjoy her wearing it all the time when she was almost 2 years old (and, as she says, "no hair ah-bellie!")
 Christmas present from 2014 was a purse with girly things in it that is still one of the most coveted toys among my littlest 3!
 then there was the week leading up to cinco de mayo, 2015. I had barely given birth to the boys and she offered to come out to help me for the week. How could I say no!? She was amazing and that time was so fun to get to know her better.


 the first time little A was allowed to paint someone's nails! she was THRILED
 I have a lot of favorite pics of cassie and my kids but this one takes the cake! You can see how much they adore her!
 so have a happy birthday, miss cassie! Who is never without a good manicure, lipstick and a smile on her face... can't wait to hopefully see more of you when we get to be on the same coast! We love you!

Cinco de mayo and good times with Aunt Cass

For only having one sister in law, I sure did luck out.
Cassie took them to the park, played inside and outside, went on one on one dates with each of them, and helped with the mundane everyday mommy stuff I usually do... She was basically my extra (more fun and awesome) set of hands with the big kids (and the littlest ones when I wasn't feeding them which still feels like all the time haha)
Oh and let little a paint her nails, which was probably the highlight of baby girls week!
So proud of herself!
And our cinco de mayo dinner with Cassie's idea of strawberry daqueris ("mom you should learn to make this yummy drink" says little d)
She goes home tomorrow but we have had such a wonderful time with her!!
