Anna makes a new friend named Diego

Despite horrible allergies and a yucky headache this morning, this afternoon ended on a very sweet note. We had the opportunity to celebrate the birthday of a very speical young woman named Maritza today and have some incredibly yummy food in the process. ;) We also got the opportunity to meet some new friends, as did Anna.

Anna met a little boy named Diego, and they really hit it off. They were SO adorable to watch and very sweet. I really enjoyed capturing this image of them giving each other hugs. :) Beautiful—the world needs more hugs, I think. When do we lose this? The ability to get excited over meeting new people and show them that they matter is one of the many reasons I adore children.
