T and I are both off today to spend with Ladybug on our first Family Day adventure. We've got a big day planned and I can't wait to share this little Chinese gift with her.
You may remember, when we were in China we purchased 18 little gifts of love to share with her every year on our Family Day. They are tucked away in my closet and last week T and I dug through the box together to pick something out. It's now wrapped and ready to share later tonight at dinner!

We've had a busy and fun day! First thing this morning we went to a photo shoot for Ladybug. She wore this really cute "M" shirt that has a matching tutu which you can find here. So cute, can't wait to share the photos with you at a later date.
After the shoot it was a quick lunch and then naptime. We spent the rest of our afternoon and evening doing some shopping and walking around. (Bug's learning that it's much more fun to walk than to ride in the stroller.)
T really loves his Chinese food and I could care less. But, we felt it only fitting that we'd have Chinese for dinner with Bug so we headed to PF Chang's. It was a really nice dinner and she was so sweet the entire meal.
Ladybug really tore into her present and studied it quite intently before figuring out what it was. I helped her put it on her wrist...it's a little bracelet that we had made while in China. It has some pretty beads and they spell out her name. She wore it for most of the evening. I admit I was a little protective, didn't want it to break or get lost. It's going into her Life Box for safe keeping.

The memories just keep getting sweeter and sweeter. Enjoy your day and keep them close to your heart. Such a special day.
HAPPY happy FAMILY DAY, I thought and still think it was a wonderful idea about the gift every year to make this a special day. She will thank you both for this special day in the years to come and oh what great memories for her and you two. Love to the three of you! Mimi
What a wonderful way to end this special day. You three look so happy and a beautiful family. Marissa was so sweet with her gift. I have to say thank you God for answering our prayers. She is a joy.
