American Girl visit with Nana

During Nana's visit to Illinois, Celeste brought her to the American Girl store.
Here, Celeste looks on while her doll, Mia, has her hair done at the salon.

Dziadzi and Celeste

Celeste and Dziadzi work on a poster about our solar system.
After reading an interesting article in Highlights magazine, Celeste decided that she'd like to share the things she learned with her class at school. So, she enlisted Dziadzi's help, and the two of them worked a long time together creating the poster.

Dziadzi and Logan

Here are Logan and Dziadzi taking in a little "Dinosaur Train" during Dziadzi's visit to Illinois.
