I remember Nina's birth well. She was my tiniest baby and though she has grown in height this year, she is still as light as a feather. She must have hollow bones. We were talking about how dogs resemble owners the other day...why does this topic always come up at our house? Nina's favorite dog is a chihuahua. She got one for Christmas. It wags its tail and barks and was her second favorite Christmas gift after her locket with Zig and I inside. Chi Chi wore one of the American girl doll's dresses to church with us on Sunday. Nina loves this dog already. And really, a chihuahua is so Nina. It's wiry, spunky, quick, jumpy, and a ball of nervous and excited energy. Chihuahuas are often seen with sparkly accessories, rhinestone dog tags, and fancy little sweaters. Nina is all that and some more. I also think of chihuahuas as a little self-interested, and I mean that in the kindest way. Nina is often worried about getting her fair share of time, love, special outings, gifts, chocolate, etc. She is a middle child for sure.She is the spark and twinkle in our family. We love you, Nina! Life would be dull without you!
Nina and ChiChi
7 years old!! She rushed to put on her dangle earrings when she heard we were going out to dinner.
Wait, is this ALL for ME?
Would you kiss that face??
Nina had lots of loves for everyone.
Zig's mom, Tina.
Happy Birthday, little bean!

Little bean, little bean - Happy Birthday!! I love you and think you sure look dazzling in your birthday attire!
What a fun day! She is a sparkler :)
The gourds turned out great! You can just keep spray painting them with each holiday ;)
Oh, and I love the polish tradition!
Cute Nina. We missed talking with her on her birthday. She has the most twinkly eyes and smile. And that Chi Chi is a perfect little companion!
i love the gourd idea! i kept the few little ones i bought from the grocery store around for a while because i liked them too. but i'm not creative enough to think to paint them so they got tossed.
happy birthday nina! so grown up and such a beautiful girl :)
Nina is so darling, and while it is hilarious that you described her as a chihuahua, it fits perfectly!
