Chloe doesn't need make-up to be beautiful....although Avery thinks it couldn't hurt. I was distracted for just a few minutes and came back to find Avery using her make-up kit to "Doll Chloe up". Complete with stick on earrings and eyebrows, note the blush just being applied. Gotta love the big sister!

Cousin Corey. Amazingly she and Chloe were born on the same day...March 27!
