She was so excited and mom said she sat completely still while they painted her nails.  They only stayed really pretty for a few hours so I had to take the pictures immediately.  </div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8737975429348238956-1249996920794301582?l=tiffandbrandon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Hopkins Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14368036395837950025noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737975429348238956.post-70201713591146990052008-09-05T21:49:00.000-07:002008-09-05T21:53:26.023-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nDi_gN5Lkwc/SMIMfd7Ym6I/AAAAAAAAAEg/6UvDnArB3zg/s1600-h/S4010099.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;
