Well, this year, Anabelle wanted a big gift, so we decided to offer her a choice. She could have the big gift and a little party or a big party. It was a hard decision for her, but after a few days she decided to go with the big gift (I was secretly happy her decision!). The big gift she wanted was an American Girl Doll. Yes...we have entered the world of American Girl Dolls...Oh my!!! Anabelle also decided against getting one of the standard historical dolls and wanted a 'Just Like You' doll. I didn't tell her it arrived before her birthday so there would be some surprise to it. I was expecting more of an enthusiastic reaction when she opened it & was worried it was going to sit in the corner of her room with all of her other dolls. Thankfully, she has played with it a lot and even puts it to bed at night. 
Here's one American Girl Doll you can't resist!
As for the little party...I suggested we take two friends bowling. It was a lot of fun and the girls were VERY excited. My ears are still ringing from the squeals and high pitched giggles. I can't imagine how crazy it would have been if she chose to have a big party! You can see the excitement written all over Anabelle's face!
Here are Elise and Sadie having a great time. Thankfully, we had a lane with bumpers and a ramp to make for a more successful bowling experience! However, Sadie usually preferred to push the ball herself. When that happened we had a good two minutes to wait before the next turn. I didn't know a ball could roll that slow :0). Here's Elise giving it a good roll. There were a few times she threw it so hard I was worried she may have left a dent in the floor!
