Girls Gift Exchange

This year, Lina and I decided it would be an awesome idea to take the girls to lunch on a Sunday instead of dinner so we had a bit more time to spend together.  This also worked out perfectly because we also came up with another GREAT idea :)  Obviously Gabi and Emma are growing up and they have quickly grown out of the McDonalds playplace...to Olive Garden.  We did manicures the last couple of years, but this year they have really been into shopping.  Especially Gabi.  We thought it would be a great idea have the girls get each other gift cards to two different stores (two faves...Aeropostale and Claires).  They can take the gift cards after lunch and shop together!!!!  It couldn't have worked out more perfectly!  It was a four hour event, but they loved every minute of walking the mall and shopping.  So glad these two are still close, despite different schools.  And it is even better for me, cuz I am able to spend time with MY bestie, Lina :)  Good times.  Just check out how much they have grown!  2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010!
