Love it! Amazing job on the rhymes.
That was so fun and creative Valerie! Thanks for sharing!
Wow -- that was too fun! You fit so many meaningful family tidbits into a rhyme scheme as well as the ABC-acrostic, but it didn't feel forced. You kept it flowing so beautifully as you told us your family's story of life on the East Coast. I loved it. Merry Christmas, Val!
And Merry Christmas to you!
Great idea! Wish David were still in Virginia so we could see you more often! Lots of Love!
it's perfect... everything about it! What a cute idea. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!
Happy New Year! I continue to love reading about your adventures in Virginia. And it's wonderful to see what your darling girls are up to.
What a beautiful family you have. It was so fun to hear from you. Sounds like you are doing well. What a great place to live :).
