~Best Friends~

It's so nice having a best friend.  Someone to dress up in crazy outfits with you, talk about dresses and princesses, and play "mommy" or supergirl.  

There was even one very funny time when they dressed up in all sorts of crazy tights/dresses/swimsuits/shorts/hairbows and played "going to the temple" together.  It was priceless!

It's even better when your best friend has a brother who is one of your older brothers best friends too!  This way everyone has someone that they are really excited to get together with on play dates and everyone has so much fun!

We really hit the jackpot with these friends.  In some ways they have been more like cousins than anything!  While they were back in Iowa for the last four months we spent at least two or three mornings a week together, having a blast.

It's totally lame when best friends have to move away.  It breaks my heart every time Alec or Elyssa asks when Maddie and Isaac can come over to play and I have to remind them that they don't live here anymore. We miss them terribly but know that we are so lucky to have had best friends worth missing.
