Everyone,

meet Martina.

Martina,
everyone.

As we're not a country music lovin fam,
I'm quite certain she's never heard the name in her life,
but that is what Gwyneth instantly named her paper doll from Aunt Heidi.

And, of coarse, I deemed that too cute not to share.
The rest of the gang;
Terah, (who in all reality is actually supposed to be a boy.) Kira and Adah.

And oh, to possess a wardrobe half the size of theirs...

I just love paper dolls.

Though they only reinforce my longing to have lived in simpler times...

Wholesome, beautiful, inexpensive, imaginative,

The perfect gift.

Gwyneth,

You are not what you seem.

There are few who truly know you

for you are not easily won.

With your fiery spirit

you challenge me every day.

And bless me beyond compare.

Forever my princess.

You are my treasure.

I love you so.

Jude,

You are a favorite with everyone you encounter.

Quick to love, the life of the party,

with a most compassionate heart.

You are full of life and energy.

You are eager to please, but pretend otherwise.

Your smile melts my heart.

Your tears break it.

You make every day beautiful.

I love you so.

Mama
