There have been quite a few blessings we have experienced living through this Pandemic of Covid-19. One of the most obvious ones has been how very close the girls have gotten, having only each other to rely on this year as play-dates and gathering with friends have been very few and far between. They've always been close - but this year it has gone to another level.
Molly was able to have a couple of school friends over to stay the night for her 11th birthday this fall and Kate was helping her decorate. Molly was frustrated with how the basement appeared and didn't look very festive. Kate ran to her own bedroom and grabbed her 3 FAVORITE things from it and gave them to Molly to decorate with, including her lucky horseshoe and favorite Nashville drink coaster.
It was the kindest gesture and Molly was so kind in return, accepting it with a smile (even knowing it was not quite her taste).
Playing one of their many games lately . . .
Molly + Kate turned their play-room into a "hang out" room, much more "grown up", they said.
And turned the little corner nook into a Sleepover Room.
So cozy!! They both agreed they slept better together in here than in their own beds in their rooms!
A note Kate wrote to Santa . . .
They recently decided to interview each other about what they would each like in their ideal dream home someday - then the proceeded to draw and design the dream home for each other. It was so fun watching them create and design for each other.
Another day, they created parties for each other with surprises . . .

This invite from Kate made me laugh - "gifts necessary"
