Our Date Day

Aurelia and I had a date day today.  Some real quality mommy-daughter time.  We had a blast.

We went to the children's museum.

She painted her face:

We pretended to live in medieval times.

 We then went to the MOA and went on rides for over 3 hours.  It was a zoo, but I didn't mind at all...Arie and I sang songs as we waited for our turn, made up funny lyrics, laughed and danced.

 We then went to the American Girl Store and Bistro, got a Bitty Baby and had tea time.

Meet "Kristina"-- Aurelia named her after her God Mother because she had ballet shoes on and felt it was the perfect name for her baby doll:

We had SO MUCH FUN today.  Life's days can go by so darn fast, and it was so important to me that I took today to spoil her in every way- especially with my attention.

I am so blessed to call this life my own, and feel bad I am not always aware just how blessed I am.  This little girl has brought so much into my life.....and today was proof that one of the best things about being a parent is to become a kid again.  That Bitty Baby was as much for me as it was for her.  I am so excited to make her clothes and accessories!
