Happy 8th birthday to Liat, my co-favorite niece!
(Note: yes, the candles show that this picture is from her 7th birthday. I’m a total heel for being unable to attend her birthday party this year, but I promise to make it up to her this summer when she comes out to visit!)
no party this year! You’re no heel (not even an ankle).
Besides, Senator McCaskill shook her hand and wished her a happy bday after the dance concert we attended that night; then, in the parking lot, she lost her 8th tooth on her 8th birthday in 2008. It doesn’t get more exciting than that (when you’re 8).
