Lauren's only request for her trip to Colorado was to take her American Girl doll to the store to get her eye fixed. Apparently, little sisters and American Girl dolls are not a good combination. This meant that we had a trip to Park Meadows Mall on our agenda, so most of the Hamilton ladies loaded up in Stephanie's suburban and travelled south to the mall. Miss Hailey decided that her two year old self preferred to hang with the boys at home rather than roam the mall. I am sure that will change in the coming years.
Of course, a ladies day out required a nice and relaxing lunch. Nana, Stephanie, Carrie, Lindsey and Lauren all went to the Cheesecake Factory for a fantastic meal.
After lunch, there was serious shopping to be had. We went to stores that were of interest to all shoppers in the party, but Miss Lauren seemed to enjoy it the most when we were at Justice and Children's Place.
We rounded out the day with some great finds and a treat for the road from the Nordstrom Cafe.
Thanks to Lauren for giving us a great excuse to tackle the mall on Black Friday. We all had an absolutely fabulous day!!
Once we arrived back home, we had a taco fiesta to celebrate Jeff's birthday. Immediately following dinner, we had another familiar scene, a living room full of tired kiddos. They spent the day playing and hiking around the hills that surround our house. This guaranteed for a great nights sleep for everyone involved.
Isaac and William enjoyed a snuggle with their Mommy.
The boys may have been worn out, but Miss Hailey was still bright eyed. I think she was also one of the one ones who took a nap.
Oliver couldn't even keep his head up.
Kellan had the "toothpicks in the eyes" stare.
As tired as they may have been, it wasn't bedtime yet.
On No! First up, we had to celebrate Jeff's birthday.
Happy Birthday, Jeff!
Lindsey thinks your so special that she picked up a Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate your big day. It was SO good!!
Thanks to Jeff for having a birthday so we could all be spoiled with amazing cheesecake.
Make a wish!
Happy Black Friday shopping and Happy Birthday to Jeff!
