So this past Tuesday my sister, Lidi, turned EIGHT. How did she get so big? I have no idea. Every time I see her I am shocked by how grown up she looks and how incredibly beautiful and smart she is. This is the first year that she has not wanted a "real" birthday party and I'm honestly kind of glad. Don't get me wrong, I want her to have the birthday party that she wants. But I have never enjoyed dealing with 30 screaming kids running around the rock climbing place, the indoor pool, our house, or the park (to name a few past birthday party venues). This year she wanted to take her very best friend, Natalie, to the American Girl Cafe. It's the restaurant that's inside the new American Girl Doll store in Southpark Mall in Charlotte. She absolutely loves that store and the restaurant is a three course meal, fine dining experience where she and her friend get to pick out a gift and will receive goody bags. Then, Natalie is staying the night for a sleepover, which will be filled with giggles, popcorn, and candy. I wish I could go back to being eight sometimes. She's so excited, which makes me happy. Lidi's family birthday is on Sunday afternoon and I really want to be there to see my whole family, but I have my first team practice on Sunday at two. This means I need to head for the mountain at about 10:30am on Sunday morning. ):
Well, y'all pray for me because even though Lidi isn't having a crazy hectic birthday party with 30 screaming little girls, the American Girl Doll store is chalk full of them. Have a good weekend everyone!
