{Day 315 (On the 4th day of Christmas)}

“On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, four calling birds.”

This is a really special post for me because I get to introduce you to Brooke.  I have known Brooke since before she was born!  She’s been like a little sister to me and it has been such a joy to watch her turn into such a beautiful young lady.  I love her exuberant personality and they way she laughs.  I love that she is quick to serve.  There is rarely a moment that she isn’t blessing someone with her help.  Oh and she’s got a darling sense of fashion to boot.  Brooke, thank you so much for taking this on like you did with a smile on your face and a joyful heart.  You didn’t even blink when I mentioned that the pledge is to try and raise $1,000 for these sweet orphans.  I’m very grateful to know you.  I love you sis.

The inspiration for today’s post was definitely the bird part!  Just look at all those feathers and I think she makes a perfect little red bird don’t you?  Please help us help these sweet orphans by donating even $5 dollars today!  Thank you for helping us spread Christmas cheer!

Christa, you outdid yourself again.  This shoot is breathtaking and only you are genius enough to shoot these pictures in a bathroom and make them look like they are from America’s Next Top Model…  Thanks for doing a shoot for me (and your sister) yet again.  Love you!

    She doesn’t even look 14! How glamorous and gorgeous these photos are!!!! That is adorable that you’ve known her this long. May she always shine brightly!

      She’s pretty mature for her age so that might be a big part of it! Yep Christa and Brooke know how to bring the glamor and glitz! I love it. 🙂 Amen to that!
