I never knew that I had a tutu-shaped void in my life until I had a daughter.

After having two sons, I was nervous about venturing outside of “boy zone” with a girl.  But I have to admit, there is something about dressing her up in cutsy hair bows, frilly dresses and pink tutus that makes me absolutely giddy! I’m so thankful for all of my kiddos, but this year I am especially thankful for the newest member of our family, Adelle. God knew how much I would love having a daughter even before I did! I love her chubby cheeks, her tiny top teeth that look like fangs, the way she rocks the color purple, and her innate appreciation for tutus!

So thank you, God, for tutus and for my daughter who wears them so well!
