#BRACELETSWAP LINK UP

I will be finishing this as soon as I can.  I am still collecting some information.  Keep checking!!

Ok, Well everyone should be getting their bracelets.  A few already have them.  I have loved seeing what you have picked out and what you have received.  I loved picking out the bracelet for my girl,  Ms. Lindsey Stipes.   I want to make this an annual event.  I think October is a great month.  Everyone should be in fall fashion mode.  I hope you have enjoyed this fun swap.

As I told you some lucky girl would win a gift certificate.  And I would like to announce the winner:

GIGI TURNS 5 AND WE CELEBRATED A LOT!

On Gigi's actual birthday, Andrea had us over for a celebration.  As always her decorations were adorable.  Dinner was carry-out from Buca De Beppo and Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  One word, AMAZING!

 But trying to get these three together and everyone look at the camera at one time... Impossible.  But still adorable. 

 Gigi wanted to read to Lainey and she loved it.  It was so cute to watch Lainey watch Gigi and Gigi loved reading to her.  

 Then it was time to sing Happy Birthday.  Gigi said that was her favorite part.  How cute is this? 

 Then presents.  Gigi had a little help. 

 Gigi opened my present next.  Can you see that look when she realized what it was?  

 Her American Girl, Caroline. 

 This beautiful chunky little girl had grown to be a beautiful, funny, caring and bright light in this world.   I love you Gigi!  Happy Birthday.

Day 4 - Key West

 Our last excursion was to Key West.  We had booked a tour on the Conch Train.  And I was very excited to eat at Margaritaville.  So we went there and were very disappointed with the food.  Atmosphere was great though.  Hopefully it was just an off day. 

 Loved this very large statue outside the Toy Factory.

 We had to have Key Lime Pie in Key West and it did NOT disappoint. 

 Mom talking to all the men in Key West. :)

 Our last night at dinner and Mom and I with our sweet waiter.

 A couple of nights Mom and I enjoyed the singing at the Piano Bar.  

 Everyone loves the towel animals that are cheerily left in your room. 

 I know these pictures are out of order but these are some pictures from our Conch Train tour.  This is the southernmost point of the United States. 

This is the finale of the variety show on the ship called "Boogie Wonderland"  All the chef's, captains, and behind the scenes people came in for us to meet.  It was such a fun cruise.  I loved every minute.
