Thin Mints, Samoas, and Julia- oh my!

Julia, this year you joined the local Daisies group of Girl Scouts at school. You've been having an amazing time meeting with the group monthly. So far, one of your favorite things was making care packages for the homeless, and then handing them out. It was amazing to see how much you dove in with both feet on this philanthropic mission!

This winter you got to do something else sweet with your troop; and although it isn't as charitable, it certainly made a lot of people happy. And you loved every minute of it!

That's right...it's Girl Scout Cookie time!

From working the booth with your fellow scouts...

To selling door-to-door (with some help from your brother and father)....

To selling to family...

To tabulating the total sales (you did some amazing mathwork!), writing thank you notes, and delivering the cookies via wagon on a cold February day...you were all-in on selling cookies!

And it was such a sweet sight to see...and thankfully, it left a good taste in all of our mouths 2 boxes of samoas, one tagalong, and one s'mores that went by all too quickly...

LEMONADE!
