April Birthday Celebration

With all the crazy weather we've been having, it was a little hard trying to get everyone together to celebrate April birthdays.

Michele came to town so we headed to one of my favorite places, Rio Grande, to celebrate Teresa and Michele's birthdays. Unfortunately Bruce, another April birthday, couldn't make this trip.

Before we met for dinner, Violet and Lincoln came over and Michele gave Violet new accessories for Mia, her American Girl doll, plus a bonus -  "Bob", an American Boy doll and new boyfriend for Mia.

It took Lincoln a little while to warm up to Michele. He wouldn't even let her ride in the car with us.

Jamie escaped the festivities having left the day before for his annual trip to Moab, Utah, to drive jeeps over huge rocks.

Even though it wasn't Violet's birthday, she still came away with the most gifts. Michele is obsessed with trying to recreate the expensive outfits and accessories for the American Girl doll. This isn't the tent Michele made (hers was much fancier and more replicant of the one sold in the American Girl doll store), but Violet wanted all the dolls to have a camp out in her bed. Melissa and Jamie are going to have to build on an additional room in their new house just for Mia, Bob, Baby Bella and all their stuff. Happy Birthday Bruce, Teresa and Michele!
