May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love.
~Ada V. Hendricks

I think she definitely qualifies as a reinDEAR! Precious!
I agree
The funny thing is those are Frankie’s antlers that she absconded … and I think he’s relieved she likes to wear them so much.
MJ
Mmmm…loving that licorice.
Yes indeed .. and anything else Nana brings her way. Just last night we shared 2 Clementine oranges. She got most of them
MJ
Amen! (and, simply adorable!!)
Thank you; I think so, too (obviously!)
MJ
She’s a cutie! Love the curls! ~ Sheila
She is; she has Nana’s hair. Now that I see my unruly curls on her darling head I think of all the times I wasted fighting mine. So cute to see her bounce by and her hair follow .. MJ
What a sweetie! I’m a big red licorice fan too!
Wendy
Me also Wendy!
MJ
What a sweetie and she’s eating one of my most favorite things…red licorice! Yum.
She’s a doll-baby. Love her to pieces and back. MJ
Too cute!
She loves to steal Frankie’s antlers; honestly, he’s glad. I think he hopes she’d leave them somewhere … never to be found again.
MJ
What a doll!
Thanks; we sure think so!! MJ
With your beautiful curly hair! I bet you spoil her to pieces – I would.
Yes and yes!
MJ
Beautiful…:D
yes … she is and the words are as well
MJ
