We woke up to an 8 year old! S/he was so excited to see she her presents. We got her a sequin unicorn book bag and a mermaid tail.
Then we were off to grab breakfast at Denny's before our appointment at the American Girl store.
After breakfast, we made our way to her requested birthday wish! She already had the Wellie Wishers from previous Christmas and birthdat gifts. She got Nanea from Santa this year and then NaeNae gave her Tenney for her birthday gift this year before we came on our trip. She wanted to bring them all into the store.
We got their hair fixed, nails/toes painted, and ears pierced.
Then we were off to the bistro for our lunch. Emma ordered a yummy milkshake.
Landon and I went outside to play while we waited on our food. He was having a lot of fun playing on the neat playground they had outside the mall.
Then we went back inside and Emma ate a quesadilla.
Landon ate cheese pizza.
Then Emma got to decorate her cupcakes with icing and sprinkles.
After leaving American Girl, we went around the mall and to Target before heading to City Walk. We did not stay long, but did grab dinner before heading back to the hotel for the night.
I would say her birthday was spent doing things she LOVES!
