Amanda's New Bike with Linky

Welcome to my Picture Perfect Party Linky #228! Amanda's grandparents and great-grandma in the States sent her money for Christmas. She used a big chunk of it to buy a new bike. Her old one had become too small. She is still getting used to the bigger bike. This one even has 18 gears and her dad has been showing her how to use them.

My husband and I have never demanded that they be A students, but all four have done well. In 2014, Jeremiah graduated high school with two distinctions, one for English and one for IT. His sister, Jessica, graduated at the end of 2016 and she earned an A average with five distinctions, English being one of them. Samantha has just...
