A very special happy 26th birthday

to my beautiful, sharp, talented, standup, witty, lucky, brilliant, impish, firecracker of a sister, Kate!

 She wrote a children's book!

she drinks old lady cocktails

she had the most beautiful wedding

and she married a pretty terrific guy
(also, she has amazing hair)

they are parents to a very big dog!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!  I love you!
