a day of shopping, food and friends

date #6

what a special weekend!

for this date i invited 5 of sofie's good friends and their moms

to join us.

this date was about dressing modestly so we headed

to the mall for a day of shopping.

each girl was able to chose a new outfit.

dressing rooms were our new best friend!

to make the date extra special we decided to make it an overnight getaway!

we rented this awesome house not far from our town.

so, when the shopping was complete we headed to our next stop. 

after a yummy italian meal and a bunch of trips up and down the elevator 

we started the games! 

we finally called it a night--or a morning--at 2:30 am!!!

i can't remember the last time i was up that late!

i thank God for these girls!

as each one of them is a very special friend to my sofie!

some, since birth and others she has met along the way! 

what a gift for me to have friends that are raising their daughters

the same as i am.

and what a gift for my daughter to have friends that share the same morals as she! 

will sure be hard to top this date!
