$10

This picture is worth $10!...well, $20 to be exact.  Would you believe that after being sooo busy for the past couple of months we were finally able to have my niece from Texas (Mackenzy) overnight with Gabi.  They are just about a year apart so they always have a good time when they get to visit.  With our schedule, we just have not been able to get them together like I wanted to.  Mackenzy came home with us on Monday evening after going over for Pam's birthday and we spent most the day together yesterday doing girlie things...namely, SHOPPING.  She told me she had not even been to our mall so you know I HAD to take her!  And HAD to take her to Charming Charlie as well!  Only one problem...the girls had no money to spend...so, I said I would take a picture of them that morning and I wanted them to make it worth $10 (to each of them).  Worked out well!
Us girls went from one end of the mall to the other and back, trying on clothes, testing out fragrances, picking out school options, etc etc etc.  It was a big hit!  Their fave part, or at least Gabi's, was trying on a formal dress at Deb - with the high heels of course! 

The girls did well with budgeting and actually ended up getting the same things...a cute little clutch from Charming Charlie and some items from Forever 21 (necklace and some barrettes).  SOOOO glad we were able to do this with Mackenzy before she left and so glad I was actually able to make good on a promise to have her over.  She is back in Texas today and we miss her cute smile already!
