Lilly and Mommy Date

Lilly finally got a long overdue date out with mommy this afternoon. We went to paint a gift for daddy at the art studio and then shared a cupcake at the cupcakery across the street. It's actually called "Lilly Magilly's" - and it's a really cute store! We shared a pumpkin spice cupcake. Yum!

I so enjoyed spending this time with Lilly. She's such a special little girl and I love her so much. I easily get caught up in getting the every day tasks completed and don't get to spend as much quality time (giving my full attention) with Lilly as I would like.

Dave and I hope to make this a regular thing where Lilly and Mia get to go on separate dates with mommy and daddy.

DSW with Lilly and Mia

This video cracks me up! Back in September I took the girls to DSW. It's like going to the toy store but they don't expect to buy anything when we leave the store. And mommy's okay with not buying something every time too.

Both girls love trying on shoes. Lilly will always go for the tallest and flashy-est high heel shoes.

In the video there's dance music playing in the background, Lilly goes through a couple different pairs of shoes and shows off some pretty cool dance movies, and Mia struggles to put on and walk around in one pair of shoes! My favorite Lilly dance move happens around 00:34. What's your favorite move?

Homemade Hummus and Homemade Pita Bread

Dave's made a couple batches of hummus and pita bread in the past two weeks. I've been eating a lot of hummus and too much pita bread. I love good bread!

Lilly and Mia's Acting Debut

This past weekend, we had a blast making this movie:

Both of the girls did such a good job following directions and saying their lines! I hope that this'll be the first of many movies to come out of the Cheng household!
