They were really good as well. I had the awesome idea of painting our toenails like ^so. I love it =) I used a toothpick rather than the brush to stick it on. Which was Alyssa's brilliant idea. We watched home videos of Bre and Lyss... *dies from all the cuteness* haha. Anyway, to wrap up, we had the most
