    Tidbit About Gabby

    Gabriella was the youngest of three sisters. She had big blue eyes and the prettiest blond hair that is the color of sunshine. She was a very loving, caring child. She adored everything girly, especially princesses. Gabby could swing outside for hours. Her favorite color was pink and she wore her pink sparkly shoes every day.
