Also known as Black Friday, well in our family that would be clog Friday! Ally stayed home with Grandma and Poppy while, Beth, Becky and I went to our favorite shoe store. Each of us got new shoes, and we bought Ally a pair of light pink patent leather clogs. She loves them!
We also went to a cute children’s boutique and got 2 new outfits for Ally.
modeling our shoes and Ally “helping” Aunt Beth beat everyone at Banana Grams. Ally was trying on her new clothes, and would run out of the room and yell “I hope Aunt Beth wins” finally she asked to stay in her new clothes, since they were so comfy and she climbed up on Aunt Beth’s lap to assist.
After the game it was time to try a new fruit – a pomegranate. Ally took off her new dress so it would not get stained. True to form Ally has still not found a fruit she does not like. She literally ate the seeds by the spoonful right alongside of her cereal for dinner. (a spoonful of shredded wheat, a spoonful of seeds)
Then it was off to the parade!
Of course there was a mushroom in the paraded and a tractor decorated with lights to look like Rudolph.
Ally loved it – especially when Santa Claus came by.
That night Grandma read bedtime books again. In the morning they worked on another project before we left, and we played spoons. Turns out Beth is a really good at that game too! Ally cried when it was time to leave – she did not want to go. She loves her Grandma Debbie and Poppy. We wish we lived closer so we could see them more often.
At the train station they had Jr Conductor kits for kids. Ally refused to wear the hat, but Becky did!
The train ride back home was not as long, but we were all happy to get home.
