12 year old little lady.
With an armful of cats.
And her hair in braided twists.
Just because.

Makes me think of “Little Women” — such a pretty Grace!
Lovely, lovely, lovely ~
Happy Birthday Grace! You are flowering into a beautiful young lady every year! Grace and Peace.
Just about to jump off the computer when I saw this. What a delightful post of your girl! Grace’s hair looks so pretty like that. I know you must be enjoying the family this week!!
This is a lovely post — and happy birthday to a wonderful 12-year old!

@purpleamethyst76 – I’m sorry — I guess I picked that up from another comment. Grace is growing up to be a beautiful young lady — I’m so glad you did this post — just for fun is sometimes the best reason!

she’s so pretty! and, my first thought was ‘she looks like she’s out of Little Women’ and then i saw someone else said the same!
Oh I LOVE her hair. What a beautiful young lady. Such a soft feel to this post. =)
What a beautiful young lady. She looks to me like she has a very sweet spirit!!!!!
she is such a beautiful young woman. what a blessing GOd has given you in her.i laughed a big hearty laugh when i saw the huge kitties in her arms…i know what a sweet heart she is, and i’m sure she loves on those kitties all the time, and to see them hanging in there taking it all in was such a great moment. thanks for capturing it Shan.also i LOVE her hair. wish that mine could do that. looks like you two had a lovely time with taking pictures.
how did you do her hair like that? I have pretty long hair as well, and maybe I could do it…
@shondadiane – Hi! I just parted her hair in two sections, put it in two loose braids, twisted them close together in buns, and used lots of bobby pins. Hair spray to hold. Her’s stayed put all day, which I thought was amazing. It’s very easy, & you will look beautiful! 🙂
