Lots of LOVE

A few weeks before Valentine's Day, Isabella entered a coloring contest from the local newspaper.  The prize was two hours of free bowling for up to six people, including shoe rental, along with pizza and a pitcher of pop. 
Every week, she checked the newspaper to see if she had won.  She really wanted to have a bowling party!  The day came and the winners were announced!  On the front page of the paper - THERE was Isabella's HEART that she joyfully colored and decorated with glitter (2nd row, 1st picture).  We were so excited!!  We started jumping up and down and screaming! 

And then we flipped the page to read the article.........

While Isabella did not win the coloring contest, she was VERY PROUD that out of 623 entries across three age groups and seven towns - HER PICTURE WAS SHOWCASED on that front page.  What are the odds of that happening?  Even better?  She colored that heart with LOTS OF LOVE and SPARKLES and that HEART was delivered to a local veteran - which surely had to make his/her day!!  Always so thoughtful and creative.
