Showin' Off Her Pearly Whites

Oh, happy day!  After wearing braces for 2 1/2 years, Abby finally got her braces off yesterday!  I'm amazed at how much older she looks now. I love her new smile and I think her teeth look great!  In fact, Abby hasn't stopped smiling since she got them off and I often catch her walking by a mirror and grinning real big back at her reflection.  I do believe she likes what she sees!  Isn't it amazing the difference a couple of years makes?

 
Guess this is just one more milestone we can mark off the list.  I'm thinking that college will be the next one, but we'll tackle that another day! My heart can only take so much, you know!

P.S.  My sweet bloggy pal, Lori, is having an AWESOME giveaway where she's giving away one of her super cute 12 Days of Christmas bracelets.  Trust me...you're going to love them, so head on over and put you name in the hat!

She was pretty before, but now she's an absolute knockout. I know it feels good not to have those wires and brackets in your mouth. I so remember how great it feels to get them off! YAY!

Oh my word. She looks so much OLDER without the braces! Don't you feel a little sad with this symbol of the passing of time? I was teary-eyed when my son got his braces off for the final time. :(

How true that is. a winning smile does make a winner in all of us. I'm so happy for Abby and her beautiful set of pearly whites. Thanks to the braces, she's now smiling with confidence!
