Happy Get Marry!

My favorite engagement congratulations card came from Charlie's nieces.  The eldest started her message off with, "Dear Uncle Charlie and Future Aunt Sabrina." She also included drawings of us clearly labeled with the initials U.C. For Uncle Charlie and F.A.S. for Future Aunt Sabrina.  In her illustration we're both blondes with blue eyes but hey, sometimes you just have to work with what Crayola gives you.

The younger niece drew us a picture and wrote us a note which was translated by her mom.  It said, "Happy Get Marry!" much like Happy Birthday.  We've been saying that randomly to each other ever since.  "Happy Get Marry!" Happy indeed.  This is also the niece who should be the poster child for what can happen when a child has too much sugar.  We were at an event and there were cookies.  She was told to only take two but I'm pretty sure she had a few more.  This led to an impromptu serenade from behind a chair.  It went like this:

Sabrina is...a pillow!
Sabrina is...a squaw!
Sabrina is...a handle!
Sabrina is...a headlight!
Sabrina is...a backpack!
Sabrina is...everything!
Sabrina is...MEEEEEEEE!

That's the abridged version.  Hers went on A LOT longer.  It was hilarious.  She needs her own floor show.
