Vela

 My sweet Vela is so much fun! She has such a cute personality. She loves to run and play and do everything Little Hema does, but also could sit and snuggle on my lap for hours at a time. She has her own ideas about what she likes to wear everyday. She is especially particular about her shoes! 

 Here she is sporting her pjs and the pink boots Kim gave her. They are a couple sizes too big, but that doesn't keep her from wearing them nearly every minute of the day - even to go to sleep! She sure loves those pink boots. Thanks Kim! 

She has 4 pair of pink boots and usually always picks one of them to wear each day. I tried and tired to get her to put on her church shoes, but really in the end decided some battles just aren't worth fighting. She was so pleased with herself for getting to choose her boots, she wanted me to take her picture. 

If you do something to make Vela happy, she always runs over and gives you a big hug and says, "Happy birthday!" That is her ultimate compliment. She is so funny! I also love how she runs to Little Hema everyday after school and gives him a huge hug. She misses him so much while he is at school and I don't know what she is going to do when he goes to 1st grade next year and is gone all day. Vela also adores Cora. I hear her all day saying things like, "Don't touch that Cora, you are a baby and it is too big" or "Cora, you are such a sweet little baby and I am your sister." 

We sure do love our sweet little Vela!!
