Friends {March 2016} Layout

My daughter has always struggled to read, so these photos of her reading to her little brother are especially precious to me. I included some hidden journaling about it on the tag with the twine pull sting. It says: "Brianna, reading has been a huge struggle for you, so it was sweet to see you reading to your brother. What a blessing when your kids turn out to be friends as well as siblings."
