Jersey Girl

This is Miss Lily Blake (aka Lil Lil). She is one of Haven's besties. They met the first day of kindergarten and have been tight ever since. Lily moved here 2 weeks before school started from New Jersey where her parents and herself were born and have lived their whole lives. Until now. Our little Jersey girl is becoming a true Cali girl. She and her mom have not lost the accent and I hope never will. But she is loving being able to jump on the tramp outside in January. Or have a beach day in February. She is beside herself with her Disney pass. And tonight... I introduced her and her mom to Nordstrom Cafe which they had never heard of. I will never forget Mary Ellen (Lily's mom) words today as she said in her accent "Nordies has a Cafe? A place to eat?" To which I replied "Yes Mary Ellen. They do. Now get in the car. We are going there for dinner. You are about to experience pure deliciousness." She ordered everything in sight and loved every bite. And in case anyone is wondering... they are heading out to the "Jersey Shore" this summer for a month. And we just may need to visit.
