Blue Dresses

 
On Sunday, 12 Feb 2006, after church, the Seese family dropped by Poppi & Nonni's house for an afternoon visit.  Poppi snapped this photo of the girls wearing the matching blue dresses given to them at Christmas by Poppi & Nonni.  The girls didn't mind the matching outfits when they were young, but with age they did.
 
 
 
 
 

Valentine's Day

 
Each of the children in Alexandria's day-care class at Woodlawn Baptist Church had to bring a decorated box for Valentine's Day so that they could share valentines with each other.
 
Beth helped Ali make hers so we know it was created with lots of love

 

Each child's valentine box was unique

 
 

Each of the teachers had their own box, too

Blowing Bubbles

 
On 13 May 2006, the same day as the previous dance photos, Poppi pulled out some "bubbles" he and Nonni had bought for the girls and Beth snapped some photos of the girls outside of the Loftin's house.
 
It took a little while for 3-year-old to figure it out but they both eventually got it

Emerald Point Water Park

 

On 22 Aug 2006, the Seese family (along with Poppi & Nonni) took the girls to the Emerald Pointe Water Park in Greensboro, NC.  They had a WONDERFUL time.

 
 
After the first slide, the girls were hooked

 

 

Savanna takes care of and protects her little sister

 

 

 

 

This water ride also included an inner-tube-type floating device

 

 
 
 

Savanna even tried it by herself

 
Savanna and Alexandria are ready for this lazy river type ride

 

 

 

Savanna chuckles as Alexandria "attempts" to get out of the float

 
Here they come again

 

 

If you get hot, it's easy to cool off

 

 

Savanna and Alexandria also enjoyed playing in, and on, the large and small whales

 

 

 

 
So many things to see and do

 

Over the years the park has continued to grow

 

After a LONG day of fun and sun, the girls fall asleep in the car on the way home

On 26 Aug 2006, Poppi took additional photos of the girls as they enjoyed the Loftin's pool
It was nice for the girls to have Karlie & Lyndsy Neigel visiting, too
 

  Savanna & Alexandria get wet

 
No one enjoyed the pool more than Alexandria - and she wasn't afraid to get her face wet

 

 

 

3-year-old Ali was more than willing to go off of the diving board

Her bathing suit with the built in floaters, gave her confidence to try almost anything

Sukkot - The Feast of Tabernacles

 

Poppi & Nonni's sukka from October 2006 was beautiful - as always.  Poppi used some of the foliage from the Golden Trumpet bush on top of the 2006 sukkah.  Unfortunately, Poppi didn't get photos of Savanna & Ali in the 2006 sukkah.

Hanukkah
 

On 19 Dec 2006, Savanna and Alexandria helped Poppi & Nonni observe the Biblical Feast of Hanukkah - also called the Festival of Lights and the Feast of Dedication.

 
Poppi lit the Shamash (the blue Helper candle) then
Savanna lights the Hanukkah menorah on this second night of Hanukkah
 
 
Poppi tells the girls the story of Hanukkah and the Maccabees
 
 
Jesus observed the Feast of Hanukkah/Dedication
 
John 10:22
And it was at Jerusalem the Feast of Dedication and it was winter.
 
Poppi gave Nonni a Hanukkah gift - magnetic Hebrew letters ...
 
... and a DVD for Beth and Brad
 
Poppi & Nonni gave each of the girls a box with a variety of flavors of Life-Savers
Poppi spells a few simple Hebrew words
 
The table is set for a family Hanukkah meal
 
 
 
Christmas Day
 

The Loftin and Seese families gathered together on Christmas Day, 25 Dec 2006, at Curtis & Carolyn's house for lunch.  Poppi & Nonni always have great food at Christmas.

 
Brad, Leslie, Philip & Carolyn fill their plates with some good Christmas food
 
Great-Granny and the girls wait to be served

Savanna and Ali get their first present from Nonni
 
 
I think they like what they see
 
Some beautiful new dresses for each of the girls
 
 
Savanna and Alexandria model the new dresses
 
Do these dresses above look similar to the ones they were wearing in the Christmas studio photos earlier this month?  They are. That's because after Great-Granny Willie bought them, Beth used them for the photos and then they were wrapped as a Christmas gift from Great-Granny Willie Loftin.  Need proof?  Look on the table beside of Philip & Leslie - sitting in a frame on the very last photo on this page.
 
What was in that big package that Alexandria was opening?
 
 
Dolls for each of the girls - Savanna holds both of them
  
 

  ... but they got another doll, too - Disney's Belle & Snow White

  

 
Yep,  you guessed it!  There was still ANOTHER doll for each of the girls!
 
 
And believe it or not, they got some Barbie dolls, too!
 

  There was still more clothes from Poppi & Nonni and Philip & Leslie

  

 
 
 

 

 

How about this really COOL gift from Uncle Philip & Aunt Leslie for Savanna & Ali

 
I think they liked it!  That roll of money kept on going and kept on going!

 

Great-Granny got a beautiful pants suit and lots of other stuff, too
 
 
There were also presents for Poppi & Nonni, Beth & Brad, Philip & Leslie
but we'll not go into those

DEDICATION

 
 
Ali, I love you so very much.  Every photo that I've added to this page made me smile - and reminded me just how special you are.  You're kind, sweet and gentle.  May you always follow after the ways of the LORD and may you grow up to serve Yeshua/Jesus with zeal and passion.  Only "true" happiness comes from Him.  Love you, Poppi.
