Lauren's Big Day

On Monday, after taking Rick to the airport, we decided to take advantage of being in Denver. We started off our time at Krispy Kreme. Cody even decided he was going to risk the potential after effects of the gluten and ate 2 doughnuts himself.

Cody hasn't had anything like this in over 2 years. Surprisingly, he didn't get sick. I don't know what that means. He enjoyed every bite.
He kept saying, "Just smelling them makes me smile."
Laila looks way more excited than she really was.
She only ate one bite of her doughnut.
Sam enjoyed his doughnut.
Next, we went to the American Girl store. Lauren received enough money for her bday to buy a doll. She decided to get a "Just Like You" doll. Abby has been saving up for outfits for her bitty twins. She was pretty excited, too.

The area outside the store is so pretty with water and stones and waterfalls. We decided to walk around a little and took a few pictures.

There was a patch of fake grass and chairs that we parked at for a while. The kids were able to run around and play, and I enjoyed being outside for a while.

Welcome to the gun show! Pow! Pow!

  1. Really, really good pictures. It's good for the kids to have the day their Dad leaves for awhile to also have some smiles. As far as gluten, some of my friends who are celiac can tolerate gluten infrequently after they have totally de-toxed for a year or two. They don't do it too often, but it works for some. Gotta say, I'm jealous! I'll never be able to eat wheat again. I have an appointment to share a doughnut and coffee with Jesus when I get my new body. :)
