On her birthday we had a nice little dinner at home with just the four of us on our upper deck. I made Lainey's favorite, poppyseed chicken with green bean casserole. We then celebrated with cake and ice cream. Lainey then opened her gifts from us. You may see a theme...
Lainey got an American Girl doll for her birthday. We bought the Lanie doll in 2010 in Chicago when she was the Girl of the Year doll. We have been hiding her away, just waiting for the right birthday to give it to her. My mom, sister-in-law, Lainey and Lilly went to Kansas City a few weeks ago and took Lainey to the American Girl doll store there. We talked up Lanie and how they didn't have her anymore and how maybe someday she would get a doll. Mean family? Yes! :)
Needless to say, she was absolutely shocked when she opened this gift and saw the beloved doll that looks just like her and shares her name!
We're so blessed to have her, and I can honestly say I am loving every minute of her personality right now! Love you, baby girl!
