We set aside today as a day to celebrate Baylor and Larin's birthdays (both coming up in the next two weeks) and we ended up having one of the best days ever! I'm exhausted as I type this, but I've got to write this down so the girls can look back on this special day.
9 AM: Baylor first soccer "game"
11:00 AM: Depart for Fort Worth
6 AM: Dove hunting with Daddy
8 AM: Donuts and Pigs in the Blanket!
9 AM: Baylor first soccer "game"
10 AM: Starbucks patio with DeeDee & Gampi
10:30 AM: first ever haircuts! (Baylor has wanted to cut and donate her hair since she saw one of her sweet friends do it a few months ago. I kept saying "On your birthday..." hoping she'd change her mind or forget all about it, but she (and her dad) held me to it. She was such a big girl, and she LOVES her new do.
11:00 AM: Depart for Fort Worth
12:00: Lunch at Chili's (the waitress brough a brownie sundae and sang Happy Birthday to the girls...they were a little shy!) At lunch, Baylor broke out into song...the full chorus of "Everything That You Do" by Steven Curtis Chapman (LOVE that song). I was so impressed she knew the words (even I mess up on those lines because they're kind of fast), and at the part that says "to tell the story of grace" I asked her, "Do you know what the story of grace is?" She looked at me like I was asking the dumbest question ever, "Yeah, the story of Jesus and His forgiveness because He died on the cross for our sin!" Larin then added with a frown on her face, "Because we do bad things!"
2:00: ZOO! We saw a baby monkey with her mommy....they were so cute interacting together right up on the window! The mama monkey even pointed at us mimicking our pointing at them! It was so neat. While she was watching the mommy tickle her baby monkey, Larin said, "That mama loves her baby!!!" AW so true!! We mamas just love our babies, don't we!?!
4:00: Shopping trip
4:00: Shopping trip
6:00: Surprise Party at Grumps! The girls walked onto the Grumps patio to see her family waiting for her with cake, balloons, and gifts! They were so surprised, a little confused, but so overwhelmed by love! Later on during a family picture, we were all saying cheese and Larin hollered out, "CELEBRATION!" That's what it was...all day...CELEBRATION!
