the best sister in law...

we are pretty sure we have the most awesome sister in law in the world. well...actually we know we do. [in fact i feel bad for the girls that have yet to marry into my family..they've got some stiff competition]. So today Lis turns 24.
happy birthday lis.

24 reason we love this girl:

1. she is the best mom to our favorite niece.
2. she makes cute things..and then teaches us how.
3. she puts up with our dorky brother....
4. we didnt' have to disown her from the family...because yes, she is a baller.
5. sometimes she sides with us when we (the kids) are trying to let our parents know they are being unreasonable.
6. she puts up with all of our quirks. (believe me, there are way too many)
7. she is seriously wise..if you have a question..go to Lis, she'll tell you the right answer.
8. she lets us snuggle, hover, kiss, hold and annoy avery to no end...
9. she's gorgeous....and it makes our family look GOOD. :)
10. with her help we can usually talk our dad into anything...(he likes her alot)
11. she puts up with (and sometimes pitches in with) our running craziness/guitar obsessions/nacho libre corny jokes.
12. she's tall.....
13. she has a strong testimony that is evident in the way she lives.
14. she's doesn't think we're completely crazy..and joined us down in brasil.
15. she fits in so well people often mistake her for an actual sibling.
16. she's not afraid to try out new portuguese words...like franca, which means lesbian, but we're sure she was trying to actually say chicken.:)
17. she loves popcorn as much as we do...
18. she comes from a great family....which hopefully rubs off on us.
19. my mom is grateful for her computer skills and that she's willing to teach them.
20. she likes to snuggle with my brother enough that they fit on a bed just bigger than a twin size.
21.we are grateful for her french fry obsession so we can go to McDonalds (in Recife) occasionally.
22. she is an amazing cook.
23. she keeps us from being too healthy..always has a good idea for a treat. :)
24. lets be honest...she's straight up deez!!!

*this list was compiled with some help from the whole family.

we love you and hope your day is great. [despite the whole being in another country part] :)
