These Children

Oldest girl. 

Loves her family. 

Super smart.

My favorite niece who was the first to call me "Aunt Amanda."

Used to be a little girl with flowers in her hair and a $16 Old Navy dress. 

Only boy. 

Gaps in his grin. 

Sweet to his cousins. 

Is getting cheesecake cupcakes for Christmas Eve because he's my favorite nephew.  

Be still my heart.
