Birthday Shopping

After receiving birthday money from Grandma Morrow, my girls knew exactly what they wanted to do with it-go shopping! Last year for their birthday, Grandma Morrow was in town and she took the girls to the mall. They shopped for clothes and shoes, stopped at the chocolate shop and had a great time together. The girls had so much fun they wanted to do it again but since Grandma wasn't here they had to settle for good ol' mom.

It's only taken us a month but we finally had an evening free. I decided to first treat Kelsey and Kate to a manicure, pedicure at the local Beauty School. This is the first time they've ever done something like this so they were pretty excited. Kelsey got the pedicure and Kate got a manicure. I don't know where Kate gets her long, and I mean l o n g nails from. I consider myself lucky if I can get my nails past the tips of my fingers, which really is never. My nails have never forgiven me for biting them all those years when I was younger. Once our nails were dry, we headed to the mall and we shopped and we shopped until mom dropped. My girls got the clothes and shoes they wanted. The only disappointment of the evening was the chocolate shop was gone. Thanks grandma and grandpa!

By the way, did you know that after 22 years Jelly shoes are back? I remember having these when I was 12. They were my favorite! My girls thought they were so cute they couldn't wait to get a pair. I'm going to have to dig through my photo album to show them mine.
