This Oma.....


Loves when her little miss comes to visit...and brings Mommy and Daddy too.

Of course we need to do a bit of shopping
....and pick out some cute things for Donovan too!!!


We got to try on the dress that Oma made!!!


This dress is the "prototype" for the
Flowergirl dress Clare will wear next month.

I wanted to be sure the pattern fit properly.
Now picture the dress in a soft champagne fabric,
with a silky sash, and a full crinoline underneath.

I am sure Clare will be adorable!



How does Clare know I love her????

Well, I made the dress from my favorite stash of Urban Chik
....which I hoard and rarely use for fear it will all disappear!!!!


Our shopping trip included a great lunch,
some shopping for Mommy
and watching the train that soon enough Clare will be big enough to ride on.

The day continued with Grampie's spoiling our little miss
with Carousel rides and a great dinner in "Little Italy".

I love the days when the family can get together.
They are the BEST!!!
