The Favorite Aunt...

We have a long running competition to be the favorite aunt...I used to quiz the kids constantly when they were little to make sure they had the right answer. When Nick and Chloe were 2, I asked Chloe who her favorite aunt was and of course she said me...then it was Nick's turn.. "Who is your favorite aunt Nick?"....and he replied...."A bug." Clearly he didn't understand the question. Well his favorite ant is a bug...

Tiana and I thought we could score some Favorite Aunt points by making a scene at the airport when they arrived. A lady asked me if the posters were for the pregnant lady traveling alone with 3 kids...Yep thats Laurie.

Come to find out, the whole plane knew who she was because the flight attendant had to ask the entire plane if anyone was willing to switch seats so a 3 year old wouldn't have to sit alone. Nobody responded....So the flight attendant asked each row individually...Still no. So finally a cute guy and his teenage boys split up and helped my sister out...People are so weird...Lady with a baby!!!

They were so excited to see their names on the posters.....Five minutes later Chloe was in tears because she accidentally let go of her balloons...

Um, best aunts ever! That is so funny...Rebecca always asks Jack the same thing! I wish I could be greeted with signs and balloons when I come to Utah on Sunday. Does travelling alone with two kids count?

You guys are so sweet. I wish we got a greeting like that. I love Nick's Yum Yum Shop shirt from Wolfeboro. Makes me wish I had bought some for my kids. So cute.

Paige (and Tiana) you guys ARE the best aunts ever. I'm glad you are not in my family, because you would definately both beat me out of the running.
