We began our trek to the mall about 3:45pm. During our journey, the girls rocked out to Hilary Duff. As they sang, usely at the top of their lungs, I would suddenly turn down the music ... they didn't even skip a beat. It was great fun! Once at the mall, we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner and more fun. While waiting for our food, the girls did the wave, played truth or dare and telephone. We ate, opened presents, sang Happy Birthday and headed for some shopping.
On our way to Limited Too, we stopped at the pet shop and a few other stores. Once at our desired destination, the girls ransacked the store grabbing a little bit of everthing and headed for the dressing rooms. One by one they emerged beautiful with some type of "outfit" on (most did not consider to look at the sizes). EXCEPT, Katana, who if you notice has even coordinated her shoes! They danced and posed for pictures, then we cleaned up (not only hanging all the clothes up by putting them all away also) and pursued our next store which was Claire's.
Everyone was told they who select 1 item and they scattered like bugs in every direction. I literally just had my neice stand at the door and make sure none of our girls exited the store because I could not maintain visual on all of them at all times! All night I was repeatedly counting to 7 making sure we had the proper head count. Ultimately, I had to set a time deadline on deciding which treasure they wanted because there was just too many choice. The party ended with a little mini audition for Lacey, where she was "actually on TV" well at least the TV there in the mall! On the way out there were many "we're leaving already?" It was a great night and by the end I was beat!!!
