Soy Mariposa.

Background story: Abbie has been asking for this dress since the movie “Barbie Mariposa” came out on DVD and she saw the dress at Target like…6 months ago! I kept seeing a few of them at Target thinking I had time to get it. A few weeks ago, they had one left, so I figured I could go back that evening and pick it up and keep it in my closet until her birthday. Well, it was gone. I mean gone GONE. Gone from 3 other Targets that I checked as well. I ended up scouring the internet to find it, and found one on Buy Costumes. Whew-I’ll never wait until the last minute on something she really wants ever again. She also got the doll from Grandma and Grandpa. I love the contrast between the expression on her face and the girl on the box.

She’s also way into Tinkerbell, and I have to hand it to the guys in the Super Target Bakery-they can make a cute cake. Tasty? Well, let’s not push it. At least Abbie liked it because there was a ton of frosting.
Grandma and Grandpa Campbell watching the cake ceremony. This is about the time when Brooklyn realized I was not, in fact, holding her. She didn’t cry too much, though.
