FIRST EARLY B'DAY GIFTS

"Miss" Tanya has sort of adoped Natalie has her little granddaughter or niece." We think we should start teaching Natalie "Aunt" Tanya. I have been trying it with her and Cari said that she heard her at the party call Tanya, "Aunt Tanya".

She brought her one package to Jonah's party. As you can see from the first photo, she got a Diego puzzle. She loved it and has played with it numerous times already. And from the next image you can see she also got her a dress...a dress that matched the wedding colors. We really like the pink/brown combo colors for clothes.
Miss Tanya...oops I mean Aunt Tanya, Stewart (her son aka Alexa's brother), Natalie and of course, the Diego puzzle

Tanya and Natalie with her gifts Over the last few years Cari and Alexa have grown really close. They are so much alike that they blend into each others families very well. They have become best friends. I am so pleased with that because I had a very good best friend when I was her age and I think girls really need a friend through the teenage years with the same values that will hold them accountable for the choices that they will have to make the next few years. And since they have become close our whole families have been drawn to each other. We have found that we have a lot in common. Tanya, I thank God for sending Alexa into Cari's life thus He lead you and your family into our lives too. Thanks for being our special friends...thanks to you too, Stewart.

Isn't it neat how God even provides the right kind of friend for us. He thinks of everything.
