Yesterday was my younger sister's birthday. I made her a proper birthday cake complete with chocolate frosting and colourful sprinkles, like my Mom used to make us when we were little. A few years ago I wrote a post about the beauty of sisters and I wanted to re-post that with a few updates in honour of her birthday. From the moment she entered the world, we were instant best friends, with a few lapses during my I-don't-want-to-play-with-my-little-sister and her I'm-too-cool-to-have-anything-to-do-with-you phases. The fact is, if you have a sister, consider yourself damn lucky! Even if you aren't super close, or the best of friends, your sister will always be there for you....don't ever take her for granted. Here are 12 reasons why sisters are simply fabulous!
- She will tell you when something looks hideous on you. "No really, that looks hideous on you!"
- You can count on her like no one else in good times and bad.
- She inspires you to follow your dreams.
- She helpfully (and happily!) points out any of your current facial imperfections.
- She works hard to cheer you up when you are down.
- Double wardrobe, hello!
- When you both find something funny (which doesn't take much, and happens often), you laugh so hard your stomach hurts and tears run down your face.
- She is someone you can make fun of your parents with (because no one else is allowed!)
- She listens to you ramble on about everything and nothing.
- You can easily spend an afternoon together doing absolutely nothing and not get bored.
- She sees the best in you.
- Sometimes, when you are together, you really feel like a kid again.

Sure! I made my sister a classic yellow butter cake with two layers from Martha Stewart: http://www.marthastewart.com/276954/great-cake-recipes#/256752 I also made the chocolate frosting that goes on top....buttery and delish!
Dear Kena,
That is such a blessing to have a super relationship with your sister. I enjoy reading your blog posts.
