Ava and Sofia - The Make-up Artists!

Not so many years ago, Ava's cousins, Sharon and Renee were doing her makeup and helping her to feel beautiful.  They sat in my bathroom just like this and Ava sat and allowed them to beautify her.  Now her littler cousin, Sofia, LOVES make-up and everything girly!  She wanted Ava to do her makeup and she sat so perfectly still so Ava could give her a makeover. :)  I love it and what a priceless moment.  They will grow up to be great friends.
