On St. Patrick’s Day 2013, my cousin Meghan will be turning Sweet 16! I can not tell you how wonderful its been watching her grow up into the smart, mature and beautiful young lady she is today! I feel like just yesterday we were on a family vacation together in the Bahamas, both of us much younger, me babysitting her when our parents went out – and in a flash, its 8 years later, i’m a couple years shy of turning 30 and she is turning 16!  Its amazing how time flies! Meghan, make sure you cherish every moment – because yes, time does fly by, but the memories collected along the way can never be replaced!  Happy Sweet 16 gorgeous girl! xo

She is an absolute natural :)

The freedom of being 16 again…

Since she was born on St. Patty’s Day, we had to bring some green to the party!

And then before my eyes… she grew up…

Fierce! :)
