My 'lil Sister's Twenty-One

 This is Noel, my younger sister...she just turned 21. We are about as close as two sisters can be and about as different as salt and pepper, but we compliment each other, just as salt and pepper do. She is a great encourager and I love her to death. This is really late in coming and I hate that I didn't get this posted  on her birthday (sorry Noel). Since her birthday is two days after Christmas sometimes it seems we don't celebrate her birthday like we should. This year she wanted Daddy to take her out on a "date" at Red Lobster and she wanted us as a family to go watch Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, well both the restraunt and the theatre were in the same city that is about 45 min from where we live, so we all went but the rest of us went and got some cheap chinese take out (which was really good) and then we went and watched the movie. That took up most of our day and we didn't get to make her cake :'( so three days later I finally got to it.
 I am really sorry that I didn't get everything done that we wanted to do for your birthday Noel, I hope that I can make it up to you later ;)
