There has been a lot going on here lately.

Today, my ladies turned 7. We went out to an early dinner here with the family. When ordering, it was asked how old they were, to which I promptly replied, "They are 6". They both looked at me wide eyed and said, "Mom, we're 7!".
And so they are.
To celebrate, we headed up to Virginia to spend the weekend at the American Girl Store, and with their aunts, uncles and cousins.
We left promptly after the Friday night piano recital where everyone performed beautifully:

Arriving four hours later at Aunt Rachel and Uncle Ken's house. We woke up Saturday morning to cinnamon roll waffles, and homemade pancakes. We rendez-voued with Aunt Christine, Aunt Ie Li and cousin Mei Li at the American Girl store around 11. It's sort of like being in an alternate reality there at the American Girl store.

Lucky for us, we were perfectly capable of handling it!
After spending HOURS in the store, picking out the perfect birthday presents, and taking all the dolls to the salon:
We really needed to be done in the American Girl world and find some real food for the real people.
Apparently the dolls were enjoying lunch just as much as the people. Jane found the camera!
Sunday dinner at Steve and Ie Li's:
and a picture perfect cake by Aunt Rachel
Made it the perfect way to turn 7, if you ask me.
Even though, I'm still having a really hard time wrapping my brain around that number! Thanks to the VA crew for making it memorable. We love you all!!
