she really does. she bakes us treats constantly. right now my kitchen is stocked with carrot cake and cream puffs. she makes them by scratch. on her own. she originally wanted to be a chef, but then a pastry chef, and now a wedding cake decorator. 🙂 i love that she has dreams! i am alllll for some homemade treats. 🙂 go kira!
and she really is a fabulous sister to her. she greets elsie with, hi best friend! 🙂 she puts up with the pushes and noooo’s that elsie gives her. she climbs in bed with elsie every morning and night to give her a snuggle 🙂 i am so proud of them. how many almost 13 year olds give their little sister her own playlist so she can listen to it when she wants?

My brothers are 15 and 17 years older than me, but totally doted on my two younger sisters and me when we were younger. Because of this, we have such a strong bond now.
The pictures of Kira and Elsie make me think of that unique and special bond, and reminds me just how blessed I am.
So cool that your girls are bonding in much the same way! 😀

Big hugs to Kira. I admire her so much! Kay is like that with Colin. It is amazing how God gives them that gift, isn’t it? I love big age differences. They will be best friends all their lives.
Please tell Kira that she is a beautiful girl inside and out!
