Hey you guys,

I know you're all too young to read yet, but I wanted to take the time to let you know that I love you all more than words can say and I feel truly blessed that you were all brought into my life.

I'm sure I could speak for all of those who are fortunate enough to have nieces and nephews, but I never thought my life could be impacted by such small people in such a huge way.

Gracie, with your beautiful curly hair and bright blue eyes you are beautiful beyond your years. You are such a talented dancer, your name very fitting. Watching you at your recitals melts my heart and it makes me beyond proud to be your aunt. You are growing into quite the young lady and thinking about it makes me chuckle. I love watching your "shows" and "plays" you put on for the family. I love hearing the songs you make up about whatever is on your mind. And I love the crazy outfits you pick out to wear. Never shy, you always want to meet new people and are always making friends anywhere you go. I admire your bravery and your determination to try your hardest regardless of what you do. You are growing into such a beautiful little lady with such a genuine soul and I am so happy you're my niece.

Bruce, your surfer blonde hair and sun-kissed tan make you look like you belong on a beach somewhere. You bring out the silly side of me and we all know that's difficult if not nearly impossible to do. You are such a smart little guy always trying to figure things out. It's been that way since you were small. Constantly trying to watch how things work and figure it out. The way you comfort people in their times of need shows your compassionate soul and I think that characteristic about you really stands out. You are always there when I need a hug or a kiss on the cheek or when I need someone to slam dunk basketballs off the couch with. You are a great big brother and your little sister is very lucky to have you in her life. I'm sure you will always protect her and take care of her when she needs it. Being the only guy can be tough I'm sure, but just know you're my favorite nephew. Lucky for you, there's no competition. Not like anyone would come close anyway.

Cameron, your blue eyes and blonde wavy hair is adorable. It compliments your beautiful face and smile. Besides being a little cutie, you have a huge place in my heart. From the moment you were born I have always felt a very special bond with you. I don't know if it is because we are similar in our demeanor or because we share the same birthday month, but I feel as though we get along very well. You are the funniest little girl I know. Everything you do or say is funny, I think it comes very natural to you. I could see you doing stand up comedy one day because you don't even have to try. I'll never forget the one time I babysat over night and you woke me up at 6am. Now everyone who knows me knows I love my sleep and can be crabby without it. For you, I'd wake up at six any day. Cami Kay, Aunt Taylor loves you!

Dani, Hey baby! Girl, you're almost six months old...time surely flies. Every time I see you I feel like you are growing more and more, as does my love for you. You are surely getting your own little personality and it's absolutely adorable. Your smile can light up a room and your laugh puts the biggest smile on my face. I love watching you grow and progress. You are able to do new things almost every day at this rate. You love eating certain foods and jumping around in your seat. Your big brother makes you giggle so hard, it's the cutest thing. I'm so glad I'm your aunt and can't wait to grow alongside with you.

Time flies. One day they feel like babies and the next day they are going to be turning five. It's a crazy, beautiful process that is called life. Being an aunt is life changing. Watching someone so important to you grow and develop is one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed firsthand. I am so beyond lucky my sisters and their husbands brought these awesome little beings into my life and I'll never stop loving them. I hope to be a source of guidance, fun, and knowledge throughout their lives. I'm going to try to be the best aunt I can be because they deserve it.

Gracie, Brucie, Cameron, & Dani, this ones for you. I love you guys!
