Off to See the Wizard

We got a very special invite from one of Amelia's very favorite friends a few months to see the Wizard of Oz at the Touhill Performing Arts Center.  In usual fashion, I didn't tell Amelia ahead of time.  I just laid out her Dorothy costume from last Halloween, asked her to get dressed, and loaded her into the car.  We headed to her friend's house and she was beside herself when we pulled into the driveway to pick her and her mom up.  The girls met in pre-school but attend different schools now that run on different schedules. They rarely get a chance to see each other. 

As you can see, they were THRILLED to spend the day together!  Amelia told me it was the first time she has ever cried from happiness! It was a great time and a fun play to see with a friend!
