Saturday with Aunt Lulu!

Earlier last week I called my sister-in-law to see if I could steal my niece for the day on Saturday and spend some time with her. It's so important to me to develop that relationship with her and have the one-on-one time. Especially now that she has a sister on the way and it will be even more important when Miss McKenzie Grace makes her arrival in August.

So this morning I picked her up real early



and we headed to the local park so she could play on the playground. It is a beautiful day today and we had a blast. I hadn't spent much time at the park in years and this brought back so many memories because I used to play on this playground so much when I was little.

Enjoy the pictures...

Then after the park I told the munchkin I would make a little detour for her...



and let her pick out a couple of toys.

I'll take 100 of these in my cart please :)


Choices, Choices, Choices...


Pleased with one of her selections!


Then we came back to the house and hung out and watched the movie Snow Dogs and played with her new toys and here she is showing off some more cuteness...





My Grandma also came over during this time because I knew she would want to see her and so I gave her a call and she joined us for a little while. We went and grabbed a bit to eat.



Funny story... She was really wanting McDonald's and call her spoiled (or me a good Aunt, haha) but I went and picked her up a happy meal and then we took it to Sonny's and she ate it there while we ate Sonny's BBQ!

After spending a majority of the day with her I am pretty certain that 4 year olds have PMS, haha!!! Her mood changes from minute to minute, more like second to second. First she's hot, then she's cold.... figure it out girl, haha!!!

But I love her so so much. Lulu is her name for me and melts my heart when she says it. As you can see there were no pics taken of myself and my Grandma. The camera was pointed elsewhere, LOL! I know this is niece overload here but she makes being an Aunt one of the greatest joys of my life.
