Skyler had such a great day today. I got to go last year, Matt was able to go this year. They had such a wonderful day!! I have to brag on Skyler for a minute:). Skyler one $1 from a word search contest. She told Matt that she wanted to buy ice cream at lunch with it. He told her that he would buy it and she could put it in her piggy bank at home. She then informed him that she wanted to buy her an ice cream and Dejuan an ice cream too. She said that Dejuan came in 2nd place and he was trying really hard, so he deserved one as well. That makes my heart so happy!!! Such a sweet little lady!!!!!!!

Party at American Girl

Today we celebrated both girls birthdays at American Girl. It was an amazing time! Skyler actually saved some of her own money and combined it with Mama's, Papa's, and Momma Joe's money to buy a new American Girl doll - Kanani (a new Hawaiian Doll). Skyler's new doll actually looks a lot like her!! Both girls were able to pick out presents from Michelle and Emma, and Grandmom at the store. The loved looking at all the options and leaving with great gifts!

We all had lunch (appetizer, entree, beverage, and dessert) at the American Girl Bistro. The food was very good - much better than I anticipated. I would go back again for the food - as would Grandmom :). The dolls actually had their own chairs, saucers, and tea cups at the table. The girls LOVED that! Lunch was followed by a beautiful cake, ice cream, presents and great goody bags. It was such a great day!

Skyler's Birthday Sleepover

Skyler talked me into having a sleepover for her 7th birthday. I had in mind 2 or 3 girls; somehow we ended up with seven. :) It actually went very smooth. It was Justin Bieber themed - Matt's favorite, LOL!! We spent the night playing outside, dancing to Wii Just Dance 2 and watching a movie. Skyler had a blast!
