Shopping With Grammy

On Friday my granddaughter came over to spend the weekend.

  So, on Saturday,  her friend came over  and off we went for a trip to the mall.

After raising five sons, all this “girly fun” has become a new tradition around my house these days.

We were so surprised to see the LSU Tigers ladies volleyball team at the mall.  Oh my, the girls were thrilled to get everyone’s signature on their poster.  Great start to our day.

Then we were off to do their favorite thing - trying on clothes.  But first a pit stop in the make up department.  Girls do have to have look just right for a big fashion show, right?

  Look Grammy, a perfume named after me!

Now…the real fun begins.  Time to try on a bunch of really pretty dresses. The dressing area was transformed to a runway.

In honor of this special day I’d like to give my wonderful friend  a cupcake from Cupcake Couture.   Her favorite one is the, “wedding cake”!  Hope you enjoy each bite.  No calories this time!

This past week we did a lot of celebrating.  My baby turned 21!  (ouch…)

And my first grandSON turned 3.

After all that wonderful cake and ice cream it was time for some action!   Yep, that little girl you see is my beautiful – feminine  - smock dress - big bow wearing - Kayla, ready for some football with her brother.

The theme for I heart faces this week is “Back to School”.

So, in honor of “Back to School” I took a bunch of pictures of my favorite subjects…you guessed it, my grands.

And then my precious little Cole stole the show (as always)!

 

 

After all the hard work we decided to treat the kids to a book.

Hmmm, looks like Karli found the perfect one! Now don’t those big brown eyes just melt your heart?

 

And then today I got to have some Big Girl fun…
