Tradition!

Yesterday was a Rosemary Day, and this is what greeted me when I came in the door,  a sweet little girl in a sweet little reindeer dress.  Rosie was decked out in her Christmas finery because both her grandmothers made plans to take her out for lunch in what we hope will become a yearly Christmas tradition.  Nonna drove to Mr. Deli and Mrs. Too! ( kinda perfect--two bubbies observing a first annual Christmas luncheon in a Jewish deli!), and I sat in the back humoring our granddaughter who wasn't quite sold on the idea of a midday outing.  Lunch was a Rueben Sandwich for Nonna while I ordered a Veganini Wrap.  Both were amazing (I sampled Patti's and she mine) and so were the pickles and potato salad!

Rosemary took a seat in her car seat, although sometimes she sat on laps.  Next year, she will have her own food, but this year it was BYOB for Rosie who sipped a bottle of her mama's milk.  We hoped to get a photo of the three of us during the event, but time and Rosemary's patience ran out a bit, so when we returned home Nonna snapped a few:

It really was a fun day and memory in the making.  And she really was very happy....really she was.
