Mikayla has a very special friend named Ellie. They have known each other from when they were only a few months old. Ellie's mom and I worked together at Camp Tilikum when we were in college (way back when...am I really that old?). We reconnected after seeing each other at church and found out that we lived in the same town and were both having girls only 2 months apart. Since three years ago, we've done lots together and the girls really enjoy every time they get to see each other. (see our pumpkin patch tradition for more of memory lane)
For this year's Christmas gifts to each other, we decided to do something special, like a date! Because of the "Arctic Blast" over the holidays and one thing after another at the beginning of January, we finally got the chance for just us girls to go out. We decided to meet at Red Robin for some lunch. At this age, that's enough excitement to consider it an activity. Maybe next year we'll do something a little more exciting.

So cute! Love the tradition of exchanging books!
That is so cool. I had something like that when Jaquelyn was little. We kept up a playgroup for about 4 years but once the kids started school it kinda fell by the wayside. It also didn't help that I moved an hour away.
I really wish I knew people in our area who have kids Rebecca's age to hang out with. Looks like lots of fun!
Ok, so Aunt Kim thinks M needs bows on both sides of her braid. Should I make some more?
How sweet that they have each other to grow with.
It looks like Mikayla and Ellie were having a great time. Grammy had fun with Austin. :)
See you when we get back home.
