She’s Baaaaaccccck

…my camera, that is.

Isn’t she gorgeous? {the camera, not me–haha!}

I missed her so and it was the best 200 bucks I’ve ever spent getting her fixed. I truly felt a void with her being gone and even my mom admitted to thinking ten times a day, ‘I wish Natalie had her camera!’ when she saw MM do something precious.

Oh…and I just have to tell you this story because I just thought of it when I said the word “precious” a minute ago.

Okay, over a year ago MM was baptized {you can read about it here} and my cousin wanted to get her something special. She called Mom and said, ‘Does Mary Margaret have Precious Moments?’

Mom quickly answered, ‘Every moment of every day.’

And my cousin was like, ‘Uhhhh, I meant the collectibles.’

My mother was mortified. And I still kid her about it today–it’s a running joke in fact between us. ‘Precious Moments’–hehehe.

But I digress.

Tonight the ladies of my family had a girls’ night at one of my favorite restaurants, Cinco. We always have a blast talking, laughing, telling old stories. And with the addition of MM, there’s plenty of arms wanting to hold her and things to entertain her.

Including makeup.

In all honesty, I hate makeup. I wear foundation because I have splotchy, red skin {blame it on the red hair}. I wear mascara because while my eyelashes are really long, they’re blonde. I don’t wear makeup because I like it, I wear it because people will immediately ask, ‘Are you SICK?!’ if I don’t have it on.

But MM? She LOVES the stuff. LOVES it. Every morning while my mom puts her makeup on at her vanity, MM sits beside her on the floor with her own makeup bag applying makeup.

{Oh, and when I say makeup I really mean empty containers that MM *thinks* is makeup. Though she does love some lip gloss!}

Tonight her Mimi let her put on “lipstick” after dinner.

And her Auntie Jess showed her how to put on “powder”.

And then she wanted to put it on all by herself because she’s a big girl.

Afterwards, she wanted to eat dessert. Of course.

Because every time I put on makeup I immediately need dessert too.
