LaLa and A Visit LA for a Day!
Recently my mom and step dad had a layover in LA for a night. So, to make the most of their 20 hour visit, I picked them up at LAX, took them to work for a few hours, picked up the girls, and spent the evening trying on new dresses and receiving other great gifts including this homemade blanket before I took them back to a LAX hotel for the night. Yep, that's right, LaLa and A sewed this greatly loved and appreciated Rapunzel blanket. So they flew in and flew out but it was an awesome evening together.

I chose mother-daughter combo animals (the big and little turtle, horse, and bear) and tucked them into the foot of her bed. She was super excited by this new adventure and immediately assumed the role of teacher, "okay students, are you ready for a story? here's the book, here's the title..."
