LITTLE BLESSINGS

I had such a fun night tonight with my 6 year old neighbor/niece/Goddaughter Emily.

I like to have Emily and her sister Lauren over on separate nights, at least a couple times a year.  That way we get our one on one time.  I had to do a little shopping, so Emily and I headed over to Costco.  She just loves trying all of the food samples.  And she didn't want to walk (because she has a sore on her foot), but she didn't want to ride in the "baby seat,"  so she just held onto the end of the cart while I wheeled her around!  I just love seeing the world through a child's eyes!  Then when we got home we played Wii for what seemed like hours.  Em's getting really good.  She beat me the first round of tennis, but then I came back and swept her in the second match.  We tied in baseball, and I beat her in golf (Whew... I had to take her in something!)  And then she took a bath and played with my little snowmen ice magnet thing--just watching the penguins spin around and around on the "ice".  Just the simple things!  I love my kiddos!  I feel blessed to have them next door!
