Gabbie's big weekend!

Ms Gabs had a very big weekend.  Friday we had a date with my mom (Nana) at a local kids "spa and salon", as a gift from my mom to Gabbie for her birthday.  She got a manicure, sparkly tattoo, some very light makeup and rhinestones, and a few other things.  She had so much fun.  We also had lunch and did a little shopping.

Then Saturday was her birthday party!  She had so much fun with her family and a few friends.  We had pizza and cake at Rocky's.... And presents.  Oh the presents!  I don't usually think my kids are spoiled, but she was VERY blessed with lots of gifts.  Clothes, toys, a big wheel, a big girl bike, lots of girlie accessory items, etc.  There were even a few items for Lilah.  We also played a few arcade games.... she just wanted to put her "money" in the machines.... She didn't care much about the tickets. 

Today we saw her first movie (Frozen).  She was so great - she sat for nearly 2 hours, loving the unlimited popcorn.  I loved the story - a love story about the love between 2 sisters.  Then we got her first haircut.  

We went back to the same place, and saw the same wonderful lady.  Gabbie wore some new boots, which she got from our awesome daycare provider.  They are owls (this will matter).  As she was up in the chair, in her cape, with her hair all separated out for cutting, she jumps off and runs over to a sales display.  The store has several displays of things that appeal to young ladies (ages 2-12).  She grabbed an owl backpack, and started putting it on.  I took it off her, and she yelled at me: "Stop being mean to me!  I need it and it matches my owls!"  She was accessorizing her boots.  After a lot of negotiating and discussion, her haircut was done, complete with a blue sparkly hair feather.  

Whew.  What a weekend.  Tomorrow the girls get their pictures done, which is always mostly fun, with only a little pandemonium trying to get them to cooperate.  :)
