{BFF} Birthday Shopping Extravaganza

Every since last year and our girls day out, the girls knew they wanted to do it again this year for their birthdays. With Brooklyn and Katelynn being so close (like sisters, except without the fights and they always want to be together) and their birthdays being only 13 days apart, they like to celebrate together because you know, that is what BFF's do! This year we opted for a morning out.

The girls had a sleepover the night before because they really can't spend enough time together. They had everything planned out, down to how they were going to have their hair (thanks, Katie for being their hairdresser this morning).

The morning started with the girl's choice to go to IHOP. So off we went for some grub and some chit chat. Breakfast was really good and the girls seemed to enjoy their pancakes and eggs (thanks Katelynn for getting me to try ketchup with my eggs).

[At IHOP waiting for our food] I love to watch these two girls together. They have such a connection and want to make the other happy. I love that about their friendship.

Exchanging gifts


Miss Katelynn is becoming so grown up and for her birthday got to get her ears pierced today (breathe Rich). Brooklyn was there for support. Mom held her hand and Brooklyn and I did a few dances to keep her mind off of things. She was a champ and was so lovely in her little daisy earrings.


We cruised the mall for a few things and the girls picked out an outfit, earrings, chapstick, lotion and fake press-on nails (they love to play school and I guess that makes them feel so grown up). That is the sad part. The little things aren't that little anymore.

I love my sweet Brooklyn and I love days we share together. It is even better shared with friends. Thanks for the fun morning out!
