Clara Lee's Visit!

Dear Abby,
Guess who came to visit you all by herself?  Guess?  Come on, you can guess.  That's right!! Clara Lee!!  And by 'all by herself', I mean with no Ash-ash.  Hooray for Clara Lee!
Mimi had to get her hair did, so CL rode up here with her on Friday morning.  They were here by 2ish and you were just DYING to take CL to Goofballs, so, off we went!  Y'all had so much fun and loved doing the bumper cars.  Shhhh, you are supposed to be 6, but no one was really paying too much attention :) And look how much fun you had!

  

  You and CL jumped on every one of the rides/video games/etc, and even let Katie Bug hop on a few, too! 

  

 Mimi met us there after her hair was did and soon after we took CL to another favorite, Friday Night Mexican!  She spoke a total of 5 words (she gets so shy around people she doesn't know - i.e. Uncle Jaybee and Aunt Steph), but after dinner, you convinced us to get dessert and that got her a little out of her shell! 

After Mexican, we took CL outside where we (read = you and Kate) play and run around in circles.  Everyone got exhausted and we headed home where you and CL AND Mimi all got to sleep in the same bed.  Now, I'm not 100% sure what went down, but I have a good feeling Mimi sneak you two something special when the lights go out, something that rhymes with "Mocholate"....
That next morning, bright and early, you two were up and at em, taking the jeep for a little spin.  If you can't tell, it was a bit chilly that morning!

  

 You two insisted on eating your breakfast in the jeep, which then got left in the neighbors yard... Always something with you, two! Nothing says a Saturday morning like playing the drums in footed pajamas.  And it's still not even 8 o'clock yet!

You had a soccer game at 9, and everyone was so proud of how you played - 5 goals!  Woo-hoo!!!

After the soccer game, we ran a few errands and then after much begging on your part, Mimi took you and CL to the park, while Katie Bug took a nap and Mommy packed for DisneyWorld  (YES, you heard me! We leave for Disney the very next day!)

  

  

 You taught CL how to do the monkey bars all by herself!! 

AFter the park, we had a few minutes before CL and Mimi had to leave to go back home and because Kate's birthday is next week, we went ahead and had a little celebration for her.  

 Mimi also had something special for you and your Disney trip.  Clara Lee was such a big girl watching you and Kate get presents.  She knew she'd get presents soon enough for her birthday! 

 We were all so proud of Clara Lee for coming up without her Mom and she promised she'd come up again.  We have all sorts of fun stuff to show Clara Lee, even where Dolly Parton lives, who she thinks lives right beside us :)
Love you and your BCF!!!
