Ring Around the Rosie

This is one of those posts where words cannot do justice to the pictures.

Watching these girls in all their sweetness was probably my best memory of Christmas this year. When I see them together, interacting and enjoying each other in one of life's simplest pleasures... I could almost cry. (In fact, I think I did the first time I looked back at these pictures.) It makes me remember that Casey and I were once little and the best of companions too.

I have to pinch myself in moments like these to really realize that these are our daughters!!! Looking at them and how quickly they are growing and changing, I am in awe that we actually made them! How lucky are we? God has blessed us with three daughters the same age and we get to watch them play together.

Our families are truly blessed and I thank God for ALL of our children. Wes scooped up Sophie and Stella to play Ring Around the Rosie on Christmas Day and the girls laughed and squealed with delight and anticipation.

They clasped hands with each new round.

(Ahh! I can't even stand the cuteness of this!)

And repeated this game over and over and over.
They even chose to go it alone when Wes's arms needed a breather. :)

I know there's a lot of the same, but I'm posting every single picture I took of this interaction because I want to remember it forever. It was one of the sweetest things EVER!

Yay! Wes is ready for round TWO! And, clearly, Sophie & Stella are THRILLED!

(Mya still wasn't feeling up to playing for most of this, but she joined in at the end for a bit.)

Watching for a moment. LOVE her piggies. :)

Then all three girls held hands and swayed/walked in a circle while singing the few words they could remember of the song.

Sugar and spice

and everything nice.

That's what little girls

are made of.

I love these sweet girls with all my heart and I love that they get to share the same companionship that I cherish so much with MY sister.

Love you, Casey!
