One of the highlights of Christmas vacation was getting to spend a ton of time with Julia and Kelly. They stayed over Christmas night and we all stayed up late watching Eclipse. I've never read/seen anything from the Twilight series, so Julia (and Bammie) explained everything to us and Julia kindly put up with Mark poking tons of holes in the premise of the story (Edward can go out in the sunlight???)
The next day (after a trip to the urgent care center for Lyla where her diagnosis was nothing more than being cranky), the girls and I had a fun shopping expedition. First stop was Target, where we picked up some stuff for Lyla, and then onto the mall.
We had lunch at the Nordstrom cafe, then stopped at all the hotspots -- Hollister, American Eagle, Pink, Forever 21, Pac Sun, J. Crew and a couple of baby stores in between. We had so much fun picking out clothes and they are such good girls. They were so careful with their money and were only interested in age appropriate stuff. When we walked into Forever 21, Kelly looked at me and said "I think this store is too old for me." I'm not sure if being at a mall surrounded by teens and tweens made me feel older or younger, but I had a ton of fun. And speaking of age appropriate, I ended up buying a pair of cargo jeggings at American Eagle. And I'll admit it -- I am loving them!
But back to the girls -- They are also amazing with Lyla. She adores them and has been carrying their class pictures around the house for the past week. I can only hope that Lyla is as intelligent, kind, well-mannered and funny as those two.
She is still a work in progress.
