Genna's party was one day before her actual birthday. On Monday we celebrated by opening gifts that had been arriving in the mail over the past couple of weeks. She received enough money to plan a trip back to the American Girl store in Virginia and get Caroline's pet calf and another dress. We'll have to do that this summer. She also was the beneficiary of some gift cards to places that have clothes that fit the American Girl dolls so she can get Caroline's closet started. Brian and I did get Genna Caroline's pet cat and an extra fancy dress for her also.
The biggest gift of all was this specially requested giant stuffed horse from her Mimi and Papa Boat. |
We also went to the restaurant of her choice. She had a hard time with this because everyone was trying to sway her and she doesn't like anyone to be unhappy. I could tell she really wanted to go to Red Robin and so I had to stop the wishy washy party and make the final call. She really likes to please Hannah, and Hannah wanted Mexican food with chips. I told them we could still get chips at Red Robin and everyone was happy. They all got balloons, and Genna had her complementary birthday dessert (with singing.)
Drew tried to wear this headband to the restaurant, but we slyly slipped it off as we got out of the car. :) |
Happy birthday, Genevieve!
