Last Saturday was Girl’s Day. We went out to lunch, stopped at Starbucks, and then watched the Nutcracker. Grace loved the ballerinas…especially the ones that came out in purple and pink tutus. And she has been twirling around our house ever since. We asked a teen girl to take our picture-aren’t they supposed Read More
