I met up with this sweet family in downtown Hagerstown just as the dark storm clouds rolled in and obliterated the sun! But who needs sun when you’ve got this many sparkly girls to radiate cuteness? I love this chance to meet new people and often leave wishing we could actually get to know each other or that our families could hang out together.

Danika loved this chair her mama brought and pretty much claimed it non-stop from the moment it surfaced. I mean, who wouldn’t? You can sit on it, climb on it, turn around backward and peek over it …. and if you’re lucky your mom will make funny faces that cause eruptions of giggles!
