A very busy day and a tired little girl...

Today was a very busy day for Annabel! First we met our cousin Callie who came in from Oklahoma and Carleen from Houston. We met for lunch with my mom, my godmother/aunt Eva, my sister and two of her high school friends,Candy and Michelle. Tara, myself, Annabel and Donna our nurse had a great visit with family. She was in her element with all the attention. Thank you Callie for coming in and making time to visit with us!
This evening we attended the ARC Holiday Cards for a Cause kickoff dinner which honored the artist of the Christmas card that went on sale today. This was Annabel's second year as an artist. It is a wonderful evening and again she was showered with so much attention. Ms. Ann, her teacher who always helps her create her card was there, and sat right next to her, so you can imagine how happy Annabel was. I actually brought my camera to lunch, but failed to remember to take pictures with Annabel's family. But tonight I remembered to take pictures even though they aren't all very clear.

What a special event!! Annabel looked gorgeous, as usual. There are no shortages of smocked dresses in her closet!

It must be so nice to have Tara home too. Hope school is going well for her.

Sorry it has been so long since I visited, Cathy. I am very happy to see recent photos of Annabel and some of her family.

Congratulations to your little artist!
