    WOW!!! What a way to spend your birthday!! I guess our girl is growing up, what, with the nesting and exploring!! It is also great to see Jamies softer side, hanging out being a girly girl and playing dolls. I see that they still have hair??

    Nothing like having your best bud to hang with on your special day, surrounded by all your favorite troll and Dora kids. It sounds like you had an eventful day. Happy Birthday to you, Foxie!! See you Saturday morning – I promise not to spit on you, if you won’t spit on me. Wink wink!! 🙂
