This angel has been in our lives for SEVEN years!
And I was so lucky to be able to celebrate the almost teen-ager's birthday with a girls weekend getaway to Fort Worth! So we put on some lip gloss, jumped in to the car and headed West to the COOLEST city we never knew was next door :)
The highlight of our adventure for me may have been having girl chat at her birthday lunch. It was like hanging out with a girlfriend.... so grown up. Mollie, you are such a lovely thinker, you are hilarious, you are kind, and you are a card shark. I LOVED having lunch with you, chatting, playing uno, sharing a steamed artichoke, sipping NA bellinis and watching you blow out your birthday candle!
Of course the rest of the weekend was fun too... finding MOLLY THE TROLLEY, jumping on for a ride, exploring Sundance Square, swimming at the hotel, shopping, stocking up on chocolates for movie snacks, then capping it off with room service, cuddles and a movie in bed (her fav part)!
Mollie, what a gift to spend this time one-on-one with you. I cannot believe you have been in our lives for seven years. I can barely remember life without you. You add so much happiness to our lives. You keep us on our toes, you make us laugh. You have the very best sense of humor, you never stop thinking, you love to read and imagine and play! You dance, put on performances, tell jokes and cuddle. You are going into first grade and are a truly amazing young woman. We love you and are so very proud of who you have become. Can't wait to see what you teach us next!
Day two of adventure was a new thing for us... water park!
We had a blast swimming in the wave pool, laughing, going on water rides and water slides!
And here is Mollie's collage from the weekend...
