Morgan-how much do we love you?

Here is a little story to demonstrate how much we all love Morgan. It will show you what great lengths we go to, in order to make our little girl happy!

On Saturday I went to get the mail, without Morgan. Huge mistake I know! She actually hates me to do just about anything without her. So anyway, when I got back she was plenty upset. On the verge of tears she said, "Mom, I know I had mail too! Why didn't you wait for me?" (She likes to pretend that she gets mail too.) So I looked at the mail in my hand and gave her a credit card application that was addressed to Steve. I told her that was her mail. She opened it and inside we found a fake plane ticket, passport and credit card. We talked about where she would like to go on a trip-she picked Hawaii.

So after dinner later that night, I asked Morgan to go upstairs and pack her bags. Koby helped her pack a few things. Here she is ready for her trip. If you look close you can see all of her official "paperwork" and the stow-away puppy.

She hugged Koby and I good-bye and then Steve took her to the "airport". In reality he went on a walk with her around the park. Then he brought her to our front door and hugged her goodbye. I was waiting at the front door and welcomed her to friendly airways. I looked over her ticket and passport and then escorted her to her seat. She was seated by Mr. Bear. She was pretty awed-for once she was actually quiet.

In the house Koby and I had lined up some chairs. Koby put on his suit coat and for some weird reason this thing on his head. Steve, after a quick good-bye ran around the house and was sitting in the pilot's seat next to Koby, the co-pilot. I helped Morgan buckle her seat belt-which was really a pink boa. Steve made the appropriate noises and they were off. Shortly after take off I, now employed as a flight attendant, served treats.

I was impressed by Steve & Koby's willingness to play along with us. It just goes to show how much they love our Morgan. That night while I was tucking Morgan into bed she told me that she loved her trip and thanked me for playing with her. What an inexpensive way to entertain her and to bring smiles to all of our faces!
