Today was such a fun day. Exactly what I needed to take my mind off some of the stressful adoption stuff!
Ever since I can remember I've said "I can't wait to have a daughter and take her to the American Girl Doll store someday!" Kinda strange I guess but I just loved my Molly doll so much and felt so special when I got her and always wanted to have little girls and do the same! Well the other day at my aunts house my mom saw first hand how much the girls LOVE and I mean LOVE realistic looking babies. They will play with them, feed them, rock them and even crawl around on the floor "crying" with them for a looooong time! So we decided a little
Christmas scouting trip was order! "Mommy clause" isn't likely getting them an American Girl doll quite yet, but "Mimi clause" just may. I'll hold out and get them Kirstin and Molly later! :)
But the girls were in heaven. Dolls are where they are definitely showing an interest right now and their little minds were blown. They had a blast and got their little dolls all set up in a stroller and cruised around like they owned the place. When we told Zoe it was time to go she got her doll out and tucked her under her arm all ready to go with her new best friend! Thankfully telling her the baby had to go "night night" did the trick.
After that we headed to the awesome indoor toddler at area at this mall and then finished our fun morning off at California Pizza kitchen. This was our first time here with the girls so we had to do our soy/nut/wheat/egg investigation. But after sending the waiter back to the kitchen about three times we deemed it a safe place and the girls and Mimi and I devoured some yummy hummus and gluten free cheese pizza. Yummy!! And PTL for the gluten free options everywhere now! People like us are SO thankful!
After naps my mom came back over to bring the girls some warm Jammie's. Can we say nicest person ever!? And then she offered to drive us all to Starbucks. I'm pretty sure she could sense that I have been struggling a bit and I must say this day was SO good for my soul!!!!! Nothing like great company all day and someone loving on your kiddos! Seriously, most refreshing thing ever.
Looking very forward to having THREE girlfriends to take on outings like this soon! I mean, SO excited!!!!
Enjoy some pics of the girliest girls around! :)
Nora wore her raincoat all night until we forced it off for the bath. Hood & all!
Our newest game. The girls ask me "mommy snow!?" And we throw cotton balls all over the house. Ha! Lance walked in from work thrilled to see another blizzard had blown through. ;)
My sweet Zoe waiting for lunch.
Big girls!
The pictures don't do it justice but the play place at this mall was amazing!!
Nora found a little hole perfect for her!
Zoe in her happy place!
Nora too.
She grabbed every doll she saw and started hugging it and was pulling everything off the shelves faster than we could put them back!
Little mama.
Zoe loving her baby!
