Gettging ready for the next day

安娜真是有个好姐姐，每当看到这姐俩在一起那个好啊，就让我感到特别温馨。姐姐经常领着妹妹去睡觉，帮她换衣服，洗漱，讲故事，把第二天的衣服准备好。上边的照片是姐姐头天晚上给准备好的配套衣服。Leah is such a good big sister and she really takes care of Anna. I simple can't say enough how good it feels to see them being together. Leah often brings Anna to sleep, changes her into pajamas, reading her stories， and gets her clothes ready for the next day. The pictures above are the clothes Leah prepared the night before.
