Mother's Day fun

So this is what mothers do for Mother's Day. . . they act like mothers and take their daughters out for a special trip and lunch! Last Saturday I took all four of my beautiful daughters to the American Girl Place in Los Angeles and bought a Samantha doll and a Kit doll for Melody and Hannah respectively. We truly had a wonderful time and it was fun to see the girl's wide eyes and smiles at all the beautiful dolls and clothes. I must admit I had some inner turmoil about taking this trip and buying these dolls because it seems at times excessive. Who needs to be spending that much money on a doll? Both Hannah and Melody had earned the money for their dolls but I still felt a little troubled to see how much of an "I want, I want, I want" sort of culture the whole store creates. Still, my girls are now officially members of the American Girl world and hopefully we can enjoy it all in God-glorifying moderation.


Here we are having lunch together at the Corner Bakery where each girl got her very own dessert! Just like moms do, I didn't order one for myself but ate bites of each of theirs.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!
