The Night Before Marlee's Birthday

I was on time to pick up my little Miss Marlee for our "Birthday Eve Date with May-May (Grandma)" and look who was waiting impatiently at the door ~ Miss Marlee!  We quickly grabbed our stuff (purse, stroller, car seat, diapers, etc.) and off we went to Barnes and Noble Bookstore.  Marlee loves books and well, what else can you do with a one year old?   We played and played and read tons of books.  Then she picked out a book she wanted, walked right up to the cash register and I bought it and we left.  On our way out we threw coins into the decorative fountain (and also played in it ~ just got her arms wet).  We sang in the car and laughed all the way home.  This is going to be a great tradition . . . Birthday Eve Date with Grandma.  Sad to think that I have to wait 365 more days for the next one!

This is such a sweet tradition to start. I know she will learn to look forward to it and love you for it! You look fabulous, by the way!

I know I pretty much keep up with you on Facebook, but had to comment on how cute Marlee is. I love this pic of her looking at you. You can tell she adores you. Keep up the fun "grandmaing". It's the best job on earth!
