Celebrating six

(warning: this is going to be a long post)

Our Alena turned six last week and was she ever excited about it.

We celebrated with blue cupcakes, Chick-fil-A for dinner, and presents including a spider man lego set and a remote control car.

Then, this week Mya, Alena, Eden and I headed to Atlanta where we met up with Grandmama, Carrie, RuthAnne and SaraBeth for a trip to the American Girl Doll store. 
Here's a "before" shot standing in front of the store ready to go in. Notice all of the doll's hair.

An "after" shot. All the dolls were treated to the hair salon where you could pick out which hairstyle you wanted your doll to have. They look so much better!
