{9}

We surprised Carlie for her 9th birthday and stayed overnight downtown!! This was the view from our hotel room!!

We walked around downtown and looked at all of the pretty lights

We wanted to take the kids ice skating at the Gallivan Center but it was closed for a private party:(

Her favorite gift (besides her American Girl Doll) was the Barbie Pet Dr. dog she has been wanting! She wants to be a Pet Doctor when she grows up:)

We spent her birthday doing all of her favorite things: Swimming, donuts for breakfast, shopping at Claire's and Toy's R Us, eating at her favorite places Panda and Rumbi and eating Ice Cream of course!!
