We started our day by going to breakfast together at a place called Cracker Barrel. They have fun stuff to do while you're waiting for your food, they have super yummy food, and then they have a store in the front where you can shop when you are done eating! Mommy got me a cool toy...It's a horn that you blow that has a keyboard on it like a piano. I am a rockstar when I play it!
After breakfast, we went to a few shops that are near Cracker Barrel. The most fun one was a Western Store. I got to try on a cowboy hat, and got to pet a horsie statue. It was awesome!
After the stores, we went to a few yard sales. We only bought one thing...a Barrel of Monkeys game. I love to play with it, and especially like to make monkey sounds while I'm playing!
All of our activities this morning wore me out, and I took a 3 hour nap! But it was good that I got lots of rest, because I needed to be ready for this evening.
After my nap, we went to the Pinnacle Hills Promenade Mall. I got to play on the playland there. I climbed on fake rocks, and climbed on fake logs that had a slide. I even made a new friend there!
Then Mommy surprised me with a super cool thing...She took me to my very first movie at a theater! How cool is the movie theater??? It's like the most enormous TV I've ever seen!!! We went to see Planet 51. It was really good, and I was such a good girl! Mommy got me a booster seat so my seat didn't eat me up, and I nibbled on popcorn while we watched it. I sat still for the WHOLE movie, except that I asked to get up one time to go pee pee in the potty. (I should mention that I went the whole day without any wet pull-ups...Mommy is so proud of how grown up I am!)
After the movie, I got to go see this dude that Mommy called Santa. She said that I've met him before, but that was when I was a little baby, and I don't remember. I was a big girl, and went and sat on his lap and told him what I wanted for Christmas, and got my picture taken with him. Mommy promises to get a better quality version of this picture scanned in soon, but for now, this is all I can show you of my visit with Santa.
After seeing Santa, I got to ride on the carousel. It was very fun! I've ridden it before, but it's one of my favorite things to do.
Now that we're finally home from a very eventful day, I'm exhausted! (And Mommy is, too!) She just gave me a bath, and now we're snuggling up and winding down. It really was a great day, and Mommy says that we're going to make it a tradition...every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving we'll have a special Mommy/Daughter Day! That makes me (and my Mommy) very happy!
