back in august...

...ME celebrated her 9th birthday...since we went to the American Girl Doll store in July (that post is upcoming!), I let her decide what to do on her actual birthday.

She wanted to go to the farmer's market (it was Saturday)...



...she wanted a cold, yummy smoothie- strawberry, her favorite...




...and then we went to the downtown shopping market, where she bought a $5 fan and we rode around in a bicycle rickshaw for a 15 minute ride...


...then home to eat cake!


It was a beautiful mother/daughter day...a small moment in time...I'm glad I let her choose what to do, and I'm honored she chose to spend it with me.
