Rara and Noelle had a very special girl day in Dallas a few weekends ago.  I’m still gathering up their super fun pictures!

First stop, “The Mermaid Bar” in Neiman’s at the mall, and then they window shopped all of their favorite stores!

Then, Rara took her to the “Oscar de la Renta: Five Decades of Style” exhibit at the George W. Bush library.  This was the perfect choice for our little fashionista!  She was in heaven!  Mom said she was running from one dress to another, quickly reading their descriptions of who wore them when and where, and taking pictures of everything!  Anne Hathaway wore the gold dress in the picture to the left, and Taylor Swift wore the peach dress Noelle is so excited about on the right.  The peach one was Noelle’s very favorite dress!  She said she loved how mature it looked while still sporting a huge girly bow on the back.  That’s our girl!

Then off to explore the replica of the oval office.  She had a blast sitting at President George W. Bush’s desk!

We are raising strong and smart girls, and that gives me hope and makes me proud.

Noelle was on Cloud 9 taking everything in that Rara had planned to show her.  It was an awesome day she’ll always remember!  Thank you, Rara.  Last night, while I was laying in bed with my racing thoughts, Granny came to my mind (Rara’s mom).  I remember everything so vividly and miss her with all of my heart.  Tears were just falling to my pillow thinking back on all our tender times together, be it when I sat on her lap in her pink chair every time I came home from college to visit, or taking her to doctor’s appointments, she was such a light in my life, and you are that for your grandchildren.  XOXO
