Yesterday, Ralph and I had the priviledge of spending the afternoon with our "Precious Pressley". As I have shared with you before, we have started a tradition of taking each grandchild, by themselves, with us shopping for their birthday. We take them to lunch (or an ice cream shop of their choice)--and give them a certain amount to spend. Parents, nor siblings are allowed, and once the money is gone, that's it. This was Pressley's first year to do this, and considering her age, we thought she might not catch on to the concept. But, she was a "trooper". She saw a lot of things she liked, but when it came down to making a decision, she knew exactly what she wanted! She chose a Barbie cash register that has a microphone and scanner--and a Disney teapot full of tea party items. As you can see, she got busy playing with the cash register before we even left the store!
I thought this picture was so cute! Pressley has her Poppy wrapped around her little finger!!!
Earlier in the day, when we picked Pressley up and asked where she wanted to eat lunch, she decided that she just wanted to go to our house. We wanted to make the day extra-special for her, so we suggested several places we knew she liked. But to no avail! "I want to go to your house", she said. Well, that's what we did! But then, she was very receptive after lunch, when we suggested going to Rita's for ice cream!
Look at that happy face--and ALL those sprinkles! She loved it! (And her GranNan and Poppy loved being with her!)
We realize that, in a few short years, these four "grands" will not put us at the top of their list of favorite people to "hang out" with! But, for now, we are thoroughly enjoying them!!!!!!
