I have learned in the past few years that I absolutely LOVE being an aunt. It truly is amazing, and here is why.

You don’t have to tell them no.

Well, you do, but in some situations, you can just have their parents do it, and you don’t have to be the bad guy. Want a piece of candy? Of course! Just make sure your mom/dad say it's okay (even though you know they won’t).

You can take so many cute pictures.

When they are younger, you can take so many pictures with them and they will love it because pictures and phones are cool. Then afterwards, you have more pictures to show off to everyone you meet!

You get tiny best friends.

What I love, is that I always have somebody to hang out with when they are around. They make me smile the most and I just love being around them. You get to have fun with them and they think that you are cool, so that is a plus.

You have somebody to make you happy always.

When you are sad, all it takes is one of the little ones to make you happy. They really are the light of your world.

You get to be a kid again.

I love getting to act like a child and play little kid games and it being okay because it is with my niece or nephews. You can act like a kid again, and see the little ones happy, so it is always a win win.

You feel unconditional love.

I have never felt as much love as I do for my niece and nephews. They can turn any bad mood around just by being there. They make me smile when times are tough and I will do anything for them. My heart just fills with joy even at the mention of their names.
