Mimi's visit

We picked up Mimi at the airport on Friday. She flew into the Sanford airport which was a new adventure for us. It is quite a ways from here, but a nice drive thanks to all the highways. I picked Riley up from school a little early (Kamryn and I had taken a cookie cake to her class for her birthday) and off we went. After picking her up, we stopped by IKEA. Riley has been worried that she was getting too big (tall) to play in the IKEA play area. She was ecstatic to find out that she is still good (the height limit is 54 inches) so she and Kamryn went to play. That meant my mom and I had to walk around the store. They have so many cool things there and of course we bought some stuff. After we picked the girls up, we even ate dinner there in the cafe on the 2nd floor. It was actually ok. Well, Kamryn and Riley's noodles weren't very hot so Kamryn didn't like them. But, my mom and I had ordered steaks that came with rice and veggies and were awesome. We each had enough that we could share with Kamryn. The girls REALLY wanted to go to the mall, but we said it was time to head home and that we would go on Saturday. So, after our morning activities on Saturday, off to the mall we went. It gave Doug a chance to rest/relax before work and Riley time to shop for birthday ideas. She has been dying to shop at Limited Too so we went to look since we knew she was getting money for her birthday. She was so funny though because she quickly got bored of looking and trying on and wanted to leave. So, off we went to another store where we 'forced' her to try on more clothes (she really needed jeans ans she is hard to fit). Well, thanks to Mimi, both girls walked away BIG winners with cute clothes and Christmas outfits. Riley also has an idea of what she wants to spend her money on the next time.
