Aunt Barb

My mom's sister and her husband live about 3 miles away from us (actually they live across the street from our first home here in Escondido).

Barb comes over once or twice each week to read stories with the girls and to do crafts with them. She has a rich treasure chest of activities and things to do with preschoolers, and the girls love it so much when she spends time with them.

Those of you on the Brown side of the family with kids or your own definitely need to take advantage of "Barb time" whenever you can!!!

Today Barb prepared a Christmas candy house with them covered in icing and all kinds of candy. The girls had a blast making it (and they can't wait to start eating it!)

She also gave fun Christmas pillowcases for them to put on their beds so they could have "Christmas dreams." She had a neat story to go along with these gifts as well.

We have a very wide and diverse support network. We are so grateful for all of it!
