October is always a busy month in the Lee house. In one week we celebrate 3 birthdays, we celebrate the arrival of Fall with a visit to the pumpkin patch, and we have fun trick-or-treating. The girls turned 8 in October (I know I'm seriously slow in posting these days) so we decided to celebrate with a surprise trip to the American Girl store in Atlanta. The girls knew we were planning to go to the A.G. store, but they didn't know when we were going. They were thrilled!
Ms. Kay was our personal shopper and she was wonderful. She explained each of the historical character to you and all of their accessories. You girls stayed true to what you had in mind prior to our trip. You had decided you wanted a "looks like me" doll. The interesting thing is you DID NOT want the same doll. You uniquely chose the doll that you felt best represented you. The major feature that neither of you would budge on was freckles. You each had to have a doll with freckles.
Hollyn decided to get a doll with hazel eyes and longer brown hair.
Ms. Kay took so much time telling us exactly how to care for our girls.
Aidyn chose a doll with shorter brown hair and blue eyes.
Daddy and Houston were good sports and even let us go to the girly Bistro. Not in the mood to eat bistro "real" food, we decided to go for a treat.
What a treat it was.
It did not last very long. So much fun.
In the spirit of dolls and characters we took Houston to Build-a-Bear to transform his beloved Duffy Bear into Duffy America. October is, after all, his birthday too.
We left the mall with 2 sets of twins that aren't exactly alike. Each perfect in her own way.
Since we had so much fun shopping for girly stuff, we took Houston to Toys 'R Us to do some fun shopping for him too. He picked out a Captain America shield, some army men and new racetrack for his matchbox cars. What a fun weekend for our big kids.
The birthday fun did not end in one weekend. We had a costume birthday party with our cousins.
Our dolls, Claire (hollyn's on left) and Anna Grace (Aidyn's) were at the party.
We had a fun making crafts and visiting with our cousins.
We had a blast at Old Baker Farm once again this year.
We got some great pumpkins.
But wait! The birthday parties aren't over. We had one more celebration with family.
We had a blast trick-or-treating on Halloween. Beautiful ladies and one really tough looking super hero.
