Last year we started a tradition that I would take Miriam out on her birthday for a special "Daddy Date". This year was extra special because we were on a family vacation in Penang, Malaysia.
I took her to Hard Rock Café Penang where they not only gave her a special birthday cake and had the entire restaurant sing her happy birthday, but they also gave us a commemorative Hard Rock photo.
This is Miriam blowing out the candle. After the server left she quickly noted that she didn't like cake and would much prefer "Monkey Bread" :) ! Oh, Ms. Miriam, always so direct about what she wants!
Our dinner conversation was a delight that covered a wide range of topics. What a delight to have such a daughter who is incredibly beautiful - inside and out!
After dinner we returned to the apartment we are staying at and a friend of ours took these professional grade photos that are an absolute treasure!
For this beautiful outfit we have both Nei Nei (Emily's Mom) and Christy Grandma (my mom) to thank. Nei Nei helped Miriam pick out this special dress this summer and Christy Grandma helped pick out the high heels and the necklace.
Here is a close up of the high heels - this was her first time wearing high heels!
