So, word on the street is Lael turned 8. How the hell did that happen?
Also, Kobi is 18 months today. Seriously. I know. I haven't posted a picture of him since he turned one.
Sorry.
He is really super cute though. And a busy body. And did I mention cute? Just checking.
So remember when I had planned to take Lael to the American Girl store in New York for her birthday? Yeah, probably not, but follow along anyway. So I was supposed to but then something very much so cooler happened. They opened one her in the DC area. I immediately made reservations and had been keeping it a total secret the entire summer (the very busy summer which I will catch yall up on soon).
We got snow on her birthday here in DC. On October 29th. Seriously. We couldn't believe it either but I sure didn't let that stop the birthday festivities.
We got to Tyson's Corner Mall which is where the store was and she was super annoyed that her big surprise was going the mall. It was hilarious.
As we were walking along she noticed a few girls carrying American Girl bags but still didn't put two and two together.
I swear, that place was the cutest thing I've ever seen. There was so much pink and sparkle I could die.
It was also very pricey. The grandparents were all generous enough to pitch in so I was able to easily pay for our birthday lunch package, get Lael a new doll and many accessories.
Here are a few pictures from our festivities.
It was a wonderful day. Afterwards we went bowling here on base were Lael ended the night by winning the costume contest and getting an iPod Shuffle. I know.
Halloween post to come soon!
