Julia's First Snowman

I have the sweetest little niece in the whole wide world.  And actually, she's from all the way across the whole wide world: Russia! My sister-in-law adopted her when she was only 9 months old, and this winter, at 5, up until last week, she had never seen a single snowflake.

So, when we got buried under two feet of snow last Friday, Julia went outside with her mom and made her very first snowman! She was soooo excited, so they took a photo of it and sent it to me. Why? Because they knew I'd make something like this:

See, ever since Julia came "home" to the US, I've been keeping up with her daily life through the many photos my sister-n-law sends me, and I've made her at least 50 layouts in the past few years!  SHe'll lvoe it whne her mom logs on here tomorrow, I'm sure.

I wonder what they ahve planner for New Years?  Better start pulling out some festive embellies!
