Kendra, Clarcy and Emily, ready to start their shopping expeditionEmily is now old enough to attend the church dances each weekend. Naturally, that meant a shopping trip to the local mall to find the perfect outfit for her first dance. (She is, afterall, female.) We invited her friends Kendra and Clarcy to spend the day with us.
We tried on clothes we liked and made fun of clothes we didn't like. We went into stores where we knew we weren't going to buy anything....just because we could. The girls tried on shirts, pants, jewelry, hats, scarves, shoes, jewelry, hair accessories, jewelry, and more shoes.
We also had lunch at Johnny Rockets, which is a 50's style diner. The burgers were fabulous and the employees sang "Happy Birthday" to Emily..... backwards. It was pretty funny.
We finally left the mall when everyone's feet were too sore to keep walking. The girls were pretty silent on the trip home. I think I wore them out.Before she went to bed Emily threw her arms around my neck and told me it was the best birthday..."so far." High praise indeed from a teenager!
