Painting the Town with Katie and Laura

Trina and Laura turned 18 in the last few days. Leah decided a few months ago that this would be cause for celebration.

She conspired with Big Trina and arraigned for all 5 of us to take a day trip to Omaha. Trina and Laura were kept out of the planning and surprised on Saturday with the announcement. That is the nice way of saying we blindfolded Trina and drove her to the Wattermann's before telling her what we were going to do. She was a good sport and decided she liked the idea....

We thrift shopped until we literally dropped. But made many amazing bargains and added to our wardrobes.

We also discovered an awesome Chinese place. It is always good to find places to get amazing Chinese food at affordable prices!

Then we hit Claire's for the real fun.

Trying on sunglasses and every other accessory of ultimate fashion...

And finding our personal styles...

:D

And pretty much just having way too much fun with awesome friends.

I have been craving Ted and Wally's for months. This time we made it happen. I personally believe this is the best ice cream in Omaha but anyone wishing to prove me wrong is welcome to bring me evidence to support their case.

Double scoop of chocolate in a sugar cone. Yep, I am my Daddy's girl. :D

Thanks girls for being such a good sport about being whisked away for your birthdays! And thanks to Leah for making it all happen and Katie for taking time off of school and letting me drive your car. It has more get up and go than I gave it credit for which now we and those two boys in that Chrysler know...
