Of course, on Audrey's actual birthday, I went and took some fun photos of her and her best buddy Aubrey. It's kind of become a little tradition to do a little photoshoot on her birthday since both the girls' birthdays are only eight days apart. We decided to just head up the street to the field underneath the powerlines and when we first got there it was raining a little. We weren't going to let that stop us! Not even the crazy wind could detour us from our goal. In fact, with these girls, I think it just added to the fun! There were so many super cute shots and I tried desperately to narrow down my selection of which to share...
After taking pictures we headed back home and then went out to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa at the restaurant of Audrey's choice and then back home again for ice cream cake and presents. She loved her new electronic diary that has a lock that is voice activated.
On Saturday we had her shopping day with a few of her friends! Aunt Maria was so awesome to join us for the day because Audrey felt like she needed a shopping day with the girls since she has a family of all boys! I loved having her there to keep my head on straight. We parked at the Seattle Center and road the monorail over to the mall and had lunch at the foodcourt.
We even took Jaylee's Flat Emma along for the day and made sure to get a picture of her first visit to Seattle!
With all of the yummy food coices, of course, they all still chose to get McDonald's.
After lunch we did a little shopping and they basically headed straight for the candy store and proceeded to spend all of their shopping money on candy and a little stuffy. The girls were estactic about it, so what could I say?
And still after all of my obsessive photo taking, the girls insisted on getting some pictures from the photo booth. One of the girls commented... "these are such good memories we're making." Ahhh... so sweet.
It was such a fun day and the weather couldn't have been more perfect! We are just so proud of Lou Lou and are so happy that she adds so much fun and excitement to our days. Life would be much more boring without her around!

"Good memories", indeed! What an absolutely fun day for them and for you and Maria! Great pictures as usual and I love that Audrey is smiling, or laughing a big laugh in almost all of them. That is what I think of when I Audrey! I wonder if Audrey and Aubrey will get to graduate from high school together. Wouldn't that be cool!
What a terrific birthday. You are such a fun mom. and how kind of Audrey to consider Maria in the shopping day. why aren't there any pictures of you and Maria? Such cute girls.
