Karoline's Birthday, Part 1


Six Years?
Where did my baby girl go??

I seriously cannot believe Karoline is 6!  Seems so much older than 5!  She has changed so much this year.  She is reading, really starting to love music, even "writing" songs, and growing out of her clothes... which leads to more shopping... which leads to not enough money :)  It's a good thing I don't have 2 girls!   Haha... I'm so proud of the lady she has become.  She is so loving, polite, and a hard worker!  She LOVES the Lord, church and telling other's about God.  She is adamant on reading her devotional every night and I love her desire to learn about her Heavenly Father!  I love you Karoline Belle Goff!  

Some things never change... her blanket.  The day she left the hospital and on her 6th birthday.  This girl LOVES her blanket! 

Mom, Anderson and I took Oreo's and milk to her class.  Karoline shared a birthday with Oreo's (100 years!)... And we LOVE Oreo's!  

Working hard at school...
 A little shy while her class was singing to her...



 All her gifts...






 Yep, mom got her a WORKING phone for her bedroom... 6 going on 16!?  
We are waiting to plug it in :) Haha... But it is VERY cute!

 Karoline wanted mexican food and yogurt for her birthday dinner... It was YUMMY!


 Happy Birthday Sweet Girl...

American Girl Doll Cafe- Atlanta Girls Trip




And we were off again... this time ATLANTA was the destination.  We planned a girls weekend trip to going to The American Girl Doll cafe with Pressley and some of our best friends! But on Saturday when we arrived we took the chance to go to Lenox Mall and take Karoline to an actual Pottery Barn Kids store.  She loves the catalog so it was fun to go in the store... I think her obsession is because she spend 6 months in utero in that store... Osmosis :)  haha... I did love my job there when I was pregnant with her!

We got her a few little things for her room (big surprise coming at some point soon.. ) and then she just wanted to ride the escalator!  She had so much fun!  Funny girl...  




After we settled into the hotel we went and met my cousin Maggie and her sweet girl for dinner!  I hate to stay but it was the first time we had met Darcey May!  Isn't that horrible!  We always dash in Atlanta and dash out barley getting to see Brent and Leigh so we were SO excited we were able to get together and we will do it more often!  She was so cute and about to celebrate her 2nd birthday!

Good Morning Atlanta!  She likes the "big city"...
I really wanted to go to church, even got a tweet back from Louie Giglio telling me when Passion City Church was meeting, but Buckhead Church was literally around the corner and since I know I would be back at Passion City Church in 2 weeks we went to see Andy Stanley (on a screen).  It was WONDERFUL!  Karoline was really into trying to take sermon notes and it was so cute!

                 
After church we got to meet up with Brent, Leigh, Jackson and Pressley for lunch and then we stole Pressley and headed to The American Girl Doll Cafe! Kim, Kylie, and Mrs. Debbie, Natalie, Emma Raines, Finley, and Mrs. Judy, Mrs. Carol, and her daughter Anna came!  We had a BIG group! 

Karoline bought her first doll.  She plays with my Molly doll (24 yrs old!), so we thought it would be fun to get Molly's best friend, Emily.  Karoline was SO excited to pick her out! 

 Sweet cousins... 



 Mrs. Carol, Anna, and Mom  - For those of you who don't know Carol, she is mom's best friend from high school that actually married dad's cousin, so she's a Perkins :) Anna is one of her beautiful daughters... her other daughter is Ellen (see post before- we got to see her in Charleston!)
 Mrs. Judy and Finley can't decide what they want...

 Kim, Kylie, and Mrs. Debbie


 Emma Raines and Natalie
 Kim, Natalie and I with our big girls!!  How did they get so BIG!?
 Kylie showing Mrs. Debbie what else she wants :)  haha



 They sang Happy Birthday to Kylie and Karoline
 Molly got to go to the salon.  Her hair needed major work :)




 We were so thankful for our time with everyone!  What a memory that we made with our big girls!  When we got back to our hotel Pressley took out her Kit doll and lookalike doll, and along with Molly and Emily the girls played for hours!  Such a fun, FUN trip!!

 Thank you Gammy for such a fun girls weekend!
