For our Friday night dinner out, I asked Elizabeth what she wanted to wear. She’d been looking at our wedding pictures that we have hanging in the kitchen and she told me she wanted to wear a “white princess dress.”  So she picked out one from her closet. Then she chose her own shoes and her own hat.

When we got to dinner, Matt was surprised that I let her wear a white lace dress to a barbeque restaurant. Firstly, she’s washable. Secondly, she is the only child anywhere in our extended family- she has three white lacy dresses in her current size.

When we got home, she had an ice cream cone. And I took a lot of pictures of her eating it.

A lot of pictures.
