Girl Cousins At Christmas Time

One of the many things I love about family gatherings is watching the little girls when they get together.  They stay so busy.  Busy with their secret "girls only" packs.  This Christmas, they claimed one of the bedrooms as their own and made a sign to hang on the door.  Bryana and Natalie posing for my picture.....

We did not see them as much this year.  They stayed in the "club house" or at Grandma's computer playing make-up and hairstyle games, only coming to our end of the house when they got hungry or they had a song or chant to perform for everyone.  Gabriella grabbing a quick meal....

Natalie got an extra large sketch pad for Christmas and was practicing drawing lady bugs....

and the moment that took our breath away when we found this note from Gabby.....
