Birthday girl

So here we are 8 yrs later celebrating our only daughters birthday. She had told me months ago she didn't want a party and she didn't want presents she just wanted her best friend over for the day.  So I took it upon myself to plan a fun day for the two of them! 

We started of with a birthday card holding a wad of cash for her to spend for the day!

Then we got dressed, dropped off brothers and headed into town! 

-Dutch Bros her very favorite coffee shop 

- we then met up with aunt Nicole to get our shopping on! "Payless,Old Navy,"and another favorite little shop that gives delicious free samples the size of an actaul purchase.

-"The Harvest Company"

 We then headed to the mall and stopped at

-Build a bear, Claires, and H&M

We were famished! So we headed out to her Favorite restraunt 

- Olive Garden it was delicious and gave us the energy to keep going. Lol shopping with two 8 yr old girls who have money felt like a day of math class for me! "How much will I have left if I spend this much?" "how much is this?" "what's on sale mean?" Needless to say we made it out ALIVE and with Tons of good stuff. She is quite the little shopper, had her list, her ideas, and got it all! 

We ended the walk out of the mall with a

-Jamba juice ( moms favorite) and Id say it was a win win for everyone. 

Two pregnant moms and two 8yr olds, 7hrs of shopping and lots of cute clothes later she had a wonderful birthday! 

- note the many wardrobe changes during the day?;) 

Oh I almost forgot!!!! We found Chase a birthday twin at the mall. The wonderful and friendly store clerk at Forever 21 heard it was chases birthday and told us it was hers also, so we got a birthday twin picture with a stranger (Chase has never met a stranger she doesn't make friends with!) 

Happy birthday my sweet, energetic, loving, free spirit. I love you!
