On Clara's actual birthday....

(October 23rd)

... we made our annual trip to the American Girl Store. This year we did brunch again. However, this year, it was just the girls.... Clara, both grandmas and me (the boys were at the Michigan State vs. Northwestern football game).

One of Clara's favorite things about eating at the American Girl Cafe is the little box of conversation starters....


We always have a good time with those.

This was her first year to not get a new doll. She didn't want one... I'm a little sad thinking that our AG days are waning. She did get some accessories though, so they're not completely over yet.

She had wanted some new clothes for her birthday, so my mom told her that she could go shopping and pick some out from her. It didn't go well.... she just wasn't finding anything that she liked. Then we mentioned the Ugg store and her eyes lit up! So... we were off to the Ugg store. She found the "perfect pair of boots"... tall, black sweater boots... she even wore them home.

Here she is wearing them to walk Mango when we got home from shopping...
That evening we had her birthday with the grandparents. She decided to not have a cake but homemade pumpkin cheesecake bars instead. I didn't take any photos... I'm not quite sure why. Oh well... at least a got a few of the day my girl turned 9!!
