Girls Shopping Trip!

Aunt Shell, Tara, Crystal and Mommy woke up bright and early today to get a head start on our shopping trip! Everyone arrived at our house at 7:00, and we were off. We were headed to the new IKEA store in Bolingbrook, and then to the mall in Joliet. As usual, we really didn't have anything in mind that we wanted to buy, but it didn't matter. It would have been nice to get a quick start on Christmas, but to be honest, I am not that organized yet. I hadn't even thought about making my lists, nor even knew where to start! So, my game plan was if there was something I saw that I just had to have, I would get it, otherwise I was just along for the ride. Not to mention, the ride there and back is almost more fun than the shopping...we always have a great time! We met Tiffany, Tara's sister, and her daughter Lily at IKEA, so that was a nice surprise too. Lily is only a week older than Olivia. What a sweetheart. It made me think of Miss Olivia home with Daddy. Of course, I had to check in a few times, and Daddy made me a little nervous when he said they were off to get her ears pierced! For a split second, I really thought he would do it and the girls were hoping he would have! In fact, they thought it would hae been netter had I not beent here to hear her scream! But, he didn't, so we'll have to plan that for another day. Although most people disagree, I still think she is a little too 'little' to have it done just yet. We'll see though..maybe soon. Anyway, after our day of shopping, we were headed back home...feet sore and all! I got home and Olivia was still awake, so that was nice! These pictures are just random of her playing. All in all, a great day!
