Making her feel special.

This week is a special week, because on Thursday, yes Thanksgiving day, we will be celebrating a special someones birthday. Because I love her so much, I'm trying to do something a little out of the ordinary for her everyday until her birthday. Nothing big, just little things to show her that she is special to me. 

Last night while Warner was napping and Liv was having quiet time I snuck upstairs and got Liv, who was just playing quietly in her room. I had her come join Jaron and I by a warm fire and we toasted to Liv and drank Martinelli's (have you tried the apple-mango- SO GOOD). We even let her have a fancy cup. She felt so special. 

Today I told her we could do a tea party for lunch. She was so excited. She invited all her friends (non-living friends) except for the zebra of course, who was very much alive at the tea party. She set and decorated the whole table, with such care and tact. Oh, and of course she came dressed for the occasion. She even dressed me, but I won't take a picture of my outfit, because I don't think I really looked quite as cute as she thought I did.

Introducing, her friend, and your friend, the zebra.

Pinkalicious Rose (the flamingo) and her daughter Lilly.

And others.

 
 And of course we scooted the babe over to watch us eat. He was much obliged.  

The little zebra exclaimed "Tanks mom for the tea party!" It was so sweet. Liv was so grateful and happy too. A little effort goes a long way with the little ones. 

Then tonight after family night we let Liv stay up a little late. She didn't do anything fun, in fact I said "Wanna help me fold laundry?" but she was so happy to be staying up late that she was even excited to fold laundry. She did a great job and was just happy to have my undivided attention. It was very sweet.
