Birthday Money

Today is Vivian's 5th birthday. Don't remind her because we are waiting a couple days to have her birthday party. Yesterday she received a sweet cart and letter from her great grandparents in Iowa. Tucked in the card was some birthday money. In the past, I've deposited the money in her savings account. This year I let her spend it on what she wanted. She looked at all the Barbie, Princess, Tinkerbell, and My Little Pony toys at Walmart. She ended up picking out a mermaid Barbie and a 'Vivica' doll. Vivica is like Barbie's 5 year old sister (Daughter?).  I'm fine with her playing with Barbies. She gravitates toward the not slutty dolls. She even tends to pick out ones that are not blond and blue eyed!

So thank you Iowa family!!! The Barbie is already much loved!
