Melissa Amber Seals

At 4½ years old, Melissa continued to be a handful.  She continued to love "girl stuff" such as My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, stickers and dress up.

We got a chance to go out to California for cousin Connor's first birthday.  We visited Adventure City, Knott's Soak City, Newport Beach, Ventura and Disneyland/California Adventure (THANKS, AUNT KAREN!).

Since pictures can be worth a thousand words, we'll get right to them.  This batch really captured her personality:
