Look how they shine for you

Tonight Elise said the prayer at dinner time--usually someone helps her and she just repeats what they say, but tonight she insisted on saying it by herself. It was a lot of mumbling at first that no one could understand, but then all of the sudden I heard these names (siblings and good friends): Mitch, Luke, Elise, Emma, Lizzy, Brooke, Sam, Camille, Evan (he got mentioned twice...she must like him a lot ;)). It was so cute to hear her naming all of the people she loves. What a blessing to have so many people wonderful and loving people in our lives!
