When Harper met her little sister for the first time, I pulled back Lola's newborn cap to reveal her dark hair. My blonde ringleted toddler was not expecting to see that, and the first thing out of her mouth was, "I do not like her." Lol!!! However, after John had a heart-to-heart with our two-and-a-half year old about how there are many princesses with dark hair, she decided she was perfectly fine having a dark-haired best friend in this life!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my babies loving each other! Lola looks up to her sister so much, and they truly have embraced having each other. Harper is such a wonderful model of confidence and determination for her baby sis, who has followed in her big sister's footsteps of becoming a dancer! And Harper continues to amaze us with her talents.

Harper, we love seeing you grow into a self-assured, kind, creative and unique young lady! We love that you draw strength from your family who supports you no matter what! We love you and and wish you the happiest 12th birthday!
