Allen got artistic with these shots. My machine got jammed about 25 times while trying to sew this but I composed myself for the pics:

Bad call, ref!
Okay, let's kiss and make up.
When Nana asked Holly what she wanted to be when she grew up she answered, "Well, I'm definitely going to be a princess. BUT, I might also be a zookeeper." Looks like she might also be a princess golfer.
