Neenie will get me Big Bird Sneakers!

From the time I was born my Aunt Regina spoiled me every minute of everyday. She was my favorite aunt, my godmother, my Neenie. She STILL is and STILL spoils me everyday ha. My father always tells me that when I was about 3 months old he had to lock her out of the house because she kept bringing presents and they just couldnt fit anymore. She got in anyway..and the presents too. She bought me my first day of school outfit EVERY year and my lunch box too. Took me out shopping and I could pick whatever I wanted. I still remember picking out my Menudo lunch box in kindergarden.

When I was about 5 years old I think, my mom took me shopping for new shoes. I wanted to get these sneakers that had Big Bird on them and velcro straps. They were awesome. But my mom wanted me to have good shoes that would last and be more practical. I was not very happy. So when we got home I called Neenie immediately and reported the news to her. "Neenie!" I said "I waaaaaaaaaant Big Bird sneakers".
And of course I had them by the next day.

HA! My Aunt Regina has told me that story 10923012938 times in my life and I love it. When I found out I was pregnant my Mom called Aunt Regina and left her a voice mail "I have some news for you, call me back.. but you better start shopping for Big Bird sneakers" Neenie knew exactly what she meant and FLIPPED out! So excited.

Now I didnt think Big Bird sneakers even existed anymore... but leave it to Neenie to find them. We had lunch at her house yesterday and look what the baby got. OMG SO CUTE!!!! I can NOT wait to put these on those little feet! Love you Neenie!
