 The day that you spent the morning together...getting ready...putting on chap-stick and doing hair.  A glimpse in the not so distant future.  I hope you always are each others best friends.

 The day that you put on a twirly dress and found the winter sun streaming through our dining room window.

A day in the life of all of you.  A day that is like every other day that I am endlessly proud, you are always adored and loved.  Every day that I try to be the best mother that I can be.  A day that I sometimes fall short.  A day in 365 that I captured you and told your story.  Picture by picture.  To the all of the days of your life, I wish you happiness, love, health and the strong bond of sisterhood.

 The day you played American girl dolls and sang to the music of Frozen

 We also had a disorganized but special time for lunch, pedicures and manicures for you girls.

 You love to choreograph dances together.

 And do some gymnastics too.

 The day that you gave me "this" look when I mentioned it was time to start taking down the Christmas decorations.  You said, "You can't take down the Cwistmas decorashonns.  Cwistmas can't be over".  I said that I would leave the tree up until they went back to school.

 The day you asked me to place the angel necklace that Grandma Koss gave you around your neck.  You exclaimed how beautiful it was and gently held it in your hands.

 We finally got around to make some ornaments too.

 Allie reminded me that we didn't take pictures of you in your Santa hats yet, so we did.

 The day after Christmas brings pajamas until noon and a play-doh lunch.  We are enjoying our lazy days at home.

Christmas is HERE!!!  We had some pretty happy girls this morning.  I even heard pitter pats of feet on the stairs rushing down at 3 am!!!  I swiftly got out of bed, turned out the tree and ordered them back to bed until 7!  I need to make sure the alarm clock is plugged in next year!!!  We woke up to whispers and excitement overjoyed that Santa came.
