I'm thankful for...

At school Crystina was asked what she is thankful for....
Isn't it sweet?? My thoughtful girl ADORES her brother! And vice-versa...
They play and get along really well...they also love to hug each other, especially before bed time. Don't get me wrong...they FIGHT like cats & dogs. But the way they get along is......well PRICELESS.
