My Brithday Girl

My baby girl turned 12 yesterday.. This year we tried something different Rick and I decided to give Erica a set amount of money, and that was hers for her birthday she could choose to to spend it all on her self, or she could have a small party of friends and she would have to budget for it. She decided to invite her two bestest friends in the whole world for a day of shopping and dinner. Erica is a money saver so she had saved up quiet a bit of money for this event. including birthday money she had a good amount of cash available!

We started out going to the little shops in E.R. I think I was the only one that bought anything. couple cute shirts for me, buy 1 get 1 half off. :) The girls picked up some movies and we headed to Albertville Mall. Before leaving we got a picture taken, I bought each girl a tiera and a lolly pop and a little things of birthday bubbles, Erica made her own sign on the car that HONK IT"S MY BIRTHDAY... out of the whole day from 11:00 a.m to 8:00 p.m. we got one honk the whole day! That was fine by me.
Here is a picture of the 3 little princess' and the chauffeur... And I treated them well, open and closed the door each time they got in and out. brought a Little cooler of pop, and I even had to listen to their radio Station! I went thru a lot.. But if was fun.

Here is Princes Erica in her most favorite place - CLAIR'S all the jewelery you could imagine! but did she buy anything NOPE.. she takes after her grandpa Bob - spends her money wisely.

In this pictures you can see she is wearing a Twilight t-shirt, she talked her dad into going to Walmart 12:00 a.m. March 21 morning to wait in line with a bunch of fighting woman and girls to get the twilight movie! she did spend some money on buying all the cool twilight stuff. the movie, a purse, few buttons, and some posters!

After the day of shopping we stopped of for Chinese food and the deal with that was I gave Erica the set amount and she HAD to buy her friends Dinner. The bill came to $32.00 she looked at me and frowned, and I swear there were tears in her eyes, I just smiled and shrugged and she pushed the cash into the ladies hands. After dinner we went to DQ to get a ice cream cake to bring home.

Here is 7 princess' Nicholas, Amber, Alexis, Brooke, Jenna, Erica, Michlyn. Thank goodness no cake fights tonight... After eating our cake we went down stairs and watch twilight movie, I really liked it.

Here is a picture of the girls after their night of busy fun... I am sad another year has gone by but I am glad Erica's birthday is over with...
