Sister’s Birthday in DC
I’m a little late in getting this post up but that’s because the last few days have flown by and I’m just trying to get my body to catch up.
I’m currently sitting at Ronald Reagan airport – 3 hours early for my flight. I’m an overachiever.
This past weekend held two very special events that I want to share (and will probably do so in two separate posts). But first, I want to send a virtual smush to my Aishu who turns TWO YEARS OLD today. It feels like just yesterday that we all flew to SoCal to celebrate her first birthday.
Aishu – your Masi loves you the most and can’t wait to squeeze you and hear you shriek in person. You’ve become so much more interactive and playful and I just love getting to watch you go through all of these developments (even if it is through Facetime for most of the year).

One of the reasons I’m not with the birthday girl today is because I came and surprised the other birthday girl in DC for most of the weekend.
I showed up on Sissy’s doorstep on Thursday night and got to spend Friday and most of Saturday with her. On Friday night, we planned a surprise get-together with some of her favorite people. A “happy hour” birthday party.
Complete with cheese plates, pizza, and cocktails for DAYS.
While I pride myself on my party-throwing skills, they pale in comparison to Sister’s. She is the best party-thrower, gift-giver, and birthday celebrator. And birthdays are her favorite. So I was a little worried when we were putting this together because I felt as though it wouldn’t live up to what she’s used to.
Lucky for me, the thing Sissy loves most is her people. She had such a great time being surrounded by everyone she loves. And there was something so wonderful for me – as Sissy’s biggest fan – about being there with all those people. Because I got to see that Sister has lots of fans. So many people who love and adore her and view her in the same light that I do. I loved seeing old faces, meeting new faces, and sharing Sister stories with everyone there.
Sissy – I had so much fun with you this weekend and I always feel the saddest when I leave you. But sometimes that hollowness on my insides is a nice reminder that I am so lucky to have someone that makes saying goodbye the hardest. I love all your pieces with all my pieces.
Questions of the Day:
- Isn’t my sister the prettiest?
- Do you have a sister? What do you call her?
Love all your serving pieces, plus the great platters of food and drinks.
I have a sister too and she calls me Sis! Looks like a very fun birthday party.
The party looked like so much fun. It’s great that you were able to spend some time together! I love when I’m able to visit my sister.
The party looks so nice and fun! Always fun to celebrate a loved one. I love your drink servers!
Awww….It looks like a wonderful party! I love the beverage dispensers. They look so classy! 🙂
You and your sister look so much alike! So sweet!
What a fun trip! I’d love to go to D.C. One day!
This is so cute! You are such a great sister 🙂 I just moved from DC a few months ago to Florida!
Looks like you are having an amazing trip to DC!! I love that you were able to surprise them both with a visit there!
Thank you for sharing this event with us. It looks like everyone was in good spirits and had a great time.
Great spirits from all the spirits! 😉
Wow, looks like you have a blast! I wish I can celebrate something like this too with my sisters!
I have a baby sister who I adore so much. It looks like you had fun at the party.
Looks like you’ve been having a lot of fun lately! 🙂 Happy belated birthday to them both!
A little too much fun! I got back to work today and it was hard to transition back!
Sounds like you and the birthday girl had such a fun time! I’ve got a few friends who are having birthdays at the end of the month and hope we have just as much fun!

That looks like a fun birthday celebration! You are lucky to have such a good relationship with your sister.
What a cute family party for your sister. I love having close family/friends together it’s the most fun and a lot of fun.
Aww, Happy Birthday to your sister! It looked like she really enjoyed herself without you all celebrating DC. I hope you were able to get and and explore a little bit of the city.
1) Yes, she is.
2) I do, and I call her Rose Toes.
