Winter Fun

Lauren and Tatum were very excited today.  Their Amaryllis Flower finally bloomed!  We planted it three weeks ago and have been keeping an eye on it every day.  The plant grew about 1/2 inch every day so it has been fun for the twins to monitor its progress.  I think it was a surprise to [...]
