I spent the day with my mom and sister doing "girly" things. My sister's birthday is next week, so I arranged a sister for the 4 kids (my two and my sister's two), and my mom, sister, and I set out for a day together. We kicked off our girl day with a trip to SteinMart, my mom's favorite shopping spot. We spent a few hours there, browsing for good deals and trying on a several things. Despite the fact that we tried on at least 15 items each, we each walked out with only a couple of things. But, it was a successful shopping trip. I purchased a blouse for my sister for her birthday and a shirt for my dad for his birthday. (By the way, July is a HUGE birthday month for my family. My brother-in-law's birthday is the 1st, my nephew's the 7th, my dad's the 9th, my sister's the 15th, and Megan's the 16th. Believe it or not, we have more familly b-days in July, but we typically only participate in celebrating the ones I listed. Thank goodness.)
Next, we headed to Maggiano's for lunch. After sharing some terrific zucchini and bread, Stephanie enjoyed some marvelous ravolio, while mom and I each ate the salad special - a crispy chicken strawberry salad. Everything was fabulous.
The movie theater was our next stop. We headed to Cinemark to see Sex and the City. It was the perfect chick-flick to round out our afternoon together.
Our day was terrific! We spent some quality time together, enjoyed some laughs, and had a fabulous time shopping, eating, and visiting. I love the fact that the three of us are not just family. We are friends, confidants, supporters, encouragers, cheerleaders, prayer partners, and more. I can't image my life without them.
