My favorite Taylor Swift song is called "The Best Day" and it's all about days that Taylor and her mom had together. I had that "best day" with both of my girls yesterday. This all started because at Christmas, the girls knew I didn't want more stuff. Truly, I just want time with them. They're two of my favorite people! How could I not want more time with them?! So, they each gave me an experience to enjoy with them, and I cashed those in yesterday.
Mia treated me to lunch at Swan House. This is the most wonderfully girlie restaurant in Atlanta, and I absolutely love it. We both ordered the "Swan's Favorite" which is two scoops of chicken salad in timbales, a frozen fruit salad, a simple mixed greens salad, and two cheese straws. It's so delicious. She and I had fun playing songs and singing along in the car, shopping around the Swan House, and enjoying one another's company over our meal.
In the evening, Lily and I made one of our favorite dishes together which (somehow) neither Ryan nor Mia seem to enjoy. It's a shrimp alfredo pasta with spinach, onions, garlic, and bacon. It's so easy to put together, but absolutely delicious. Lily shared a lot of Elevation Worship music with me while we cooked. This is currently one of her favorite groups, and I loved getting to hear more of their music. We put the dinner in our new pasta bowls from Sorrento and enjoyed a quiet dinner together. I love getting to talk with her and hear her opinions and thoughts on things. She's got some good ones! After dinner, we cleaned up and then went downstairs to watch one of my favorite movies, Instant Family. It's so fun that we can share movies like this with one another!
One on one time with each girl helps me to see just how amazing they are in their own ways. I am so incredibly proud to the mom of these two! I can't thank them enough for giving me "the best day!"
