While at Grandma Cole's around Christmas, we decided (after much begging from 4 girls) to take the kids to the Mall of America. We went to eat at Bubba Gump's (yummy!) and then to walk around MOA. Someone (named Mama) thought it would be fun to take the girls to the American Girl store. Shelby decided then and there that she would be getting an American Girl doll for her birthday. She saved her Christmas money and her birthday money, shopped the magazine she picked up at the mall, shopped the website, and generally drove everyone in the house nuts talking about all things AG. In January, we shopped on-line and she purchased her doll. She has been making doll clothes with any and all material found, found patterns on Pinterest, etc. That doll, although still nameless 3 months later, goes everywhere with us! She is as much a member of the family as the dog is.
Shelby and her nameless AG doll
Shelby was the "special child" this year. She got to go out for french fries at Hardee's on her birthday with Mom, had a turtle cheesecake for a birthday cake, ANDgot to go out for breakfast at the Outdoorsman Cafe in Walker with Dad & Mom for eggs benedict and hot chocolate and whipped cream (after her birthday because Dad wasn't home ON her birthday),
Yup, she's spoiled! Happy 10th birthday, Shelby Lynne. You are officially TWO HANDS FULL!
