Dream Catching

Hipster received a Dream Catcher from a couple of girlz on her floor. 


She loves her job and is so lucky to have such nice girlz on her floor.


I forget sometimes that my girls are grown up and living away from home - doing things on their own.  

I thought I had to remind Princess to move her bike inside her room for the holidays. 
She sent me this picture of it already done.  Bet she had a fun time taking off all the snow. 

Looking forward to having them home for the holidays.
