February 2006
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. 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
April 2006
On 22 Apr 2006 the Seese family planned a birthday party at Poppi & Nonni's house in honor of Savanna's 6th Birthday. Savanna and friend enjoy a game of "Air Hockey"
All the kids enjoyed the air-filled slides and other contraptions That must have been one horrifying slide -... ... the way Alexandria's hair is standing straight up Enjoying pizza and a juice box
Even Great-Granny Willie enjoyed the refreshments Alexandria with sisters Lyndsy and Karlie Neigel Time for some cake Dessert fit for a Disney Princess
Three-year-old Alexandria enjoys the birthday cake Opening birthday presents is one of the best parts - some pretty new blouses
... as well as a pretty new dress ... ... and a new fun Bible

07 May 2006, Poppi snapped a couple of spring photos of one of his favorite girls while she was over at his house. That smile could warm anyone's heart

Springtime photos show Savanna and Ali's pleasant and cordial personalities.
On 13 May 2006 while Savanna & Alexandria were visiting with Poppi and Nonni, Poppi snapped some photos of the girls in their latest dance costumes. The girls display some of the best moves they learned from Miss Krista Our own little "curly-top" 
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 June 2006
The girls had their dance recital on 03 Jun 2006 at the Broyhill Convention Center in Lenoir, NC.

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.

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

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

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. Poppi holds the traditional Lulav & Etrog of Sukkot Notice the hanging fruit on the inside of the sukkah Inside the sukkah - looking back toward the house Enjoying a meal inside the Loftin family 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 HanukkahPoppi 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 wordsThe 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 Table cloth and Christmas dishes display the Christmas theme 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

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.
