Celebrating a Birthday!

Shopping is a great way to celebrate a birthday, at least, according to Skyeler. Instead of a party and gifts, she chose a shopping trip with friends last Friday. We shop, shop, shopped...ALL DAY! It was fun, tiring, but fun. A trip to the mall, a couple bookstores, JoAnn Etc., and Starbucks filled our day. Ok, only Ji Eun actually likes coffee but the rest of us enjoyed Carmel Apple Ciders and hot chocolate. After shopping all day we celebrated with ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, Skyeler's favorite. Of course there was some silliness...trying on all kinds of hats throughout the day, storytime with Tori at Barnes & Noble, and a gas station that had no bathroom (we only found this out AFTER 5 of us were out of the car!). I'm so glad she had fun. Before the shopping trip, the girls looking ready to shop, shop, shop!

After the shopping, they were dropping and fighting over the couch

Singing "Happy Birthday" in the traditional "Emperor's New Groove" style. She got the candles with one blow!
