This photo has been hanging at Doug and Karyl’s house for as long as I can remember. I have always loved it because the look on Jessica’s face is so sincere, and the embellished hat is such a sweet and perfect addition. Plus, it’s a rare Christmas decoration that’s up year round, so when I spy it in August, it provides a happy reminder of what’s to come.
Of course, over the last few years, I’ve found yet another reason to admire it. Wouldn’t you say that little girl could be Ava?
