Then we didn’t get one from Older Toddlers in 2014 because he wouldn’t sit for the photographer. Yep, his teacher said he just wouldn’t do it. Oh well.

Samantha generally stands on the steps waiting to see her friends Frances and Kate come down the sidewalk so she can run out…

and meet them!

They are the cutest little gaggle of giggly girls! They all act like they haven’t seen each other in forever even though they were just in school together the day before! ha!

If timing really works out, then Violet comes down the other sidewalk and they have a big ole reunion on the corner!

It’s the very best part of my day to watch!
