American girl store visit

For Cecilia's 8th Birthday,
 I took her to the American Girl Store in Seattle.
It was the first trip for both of us;
 to pick out her doll and have lunch.

Little girls grow up so fast, it was nice to
celebrate Cece!

Checking out the store!

Bitty Baby getting cleaned up!

Cecilia picked out Cecile, a girl from the 1850's New Orleans

Crash

Monica has this habit of not taking naps anymore. This means about once a week she takes her blanket and curls up on the floor. This time it while I was cleaning the play room.

I shall wear red and purple

Monica likes dressing her self, only when you are two 

can you wear red and purple together!

Puzzle play date

Ella came over today for some fun. It was nice to play outside for a little bit and put together a new puzzle.

Newest skirt

Cece has a birthday party tomorrow, so I made this skirt as the gift. Perfect for the holiday season.
