A sampling of the adorable birthday poems from mi familia:

Oh to be 23

and feel so free!

Now you’re in B.A.

The same degree you earned

Just one short year away

Can’t wait for your return

To be with friends and fam

Once again in your glam…

Happy, happy birthday to our girl Jess!

Who knows how to do with style and much less

When she travels to Vietnam, Peru and Buenos Aires,

Thailand, NYC, Italia, Beijing, and Paris.

After all she’s done we must confess

We can’t wait to see what you’ll do after dos-tres!!!

She once called herself Miss Thattica

When she lived on the Bay near Attica

She now lives in Buenos Aires

And is older than Miley Cyrus.

Happy Birthday, dear Jessica…

Buy yourself a new dress-ica…

Or hang out in Buenos Airess-ica..

‘Cuz you’re not a pup!
