Tuesday the 12th was Brie's birthday and the girls celebrated by going out to breakfast then spending a nice afternoon at home relaxing. Annie was very thoughtful and brought Brie a pretty new necklace that fits perfectly in Brie's collection!

Brie was also quite lucky to get several lovely new clothes items from her Mom but she wasn't letting Annie snap any pictures of those! Instead Annie captured this playful little moment between Brie's older brother Brock and her son Liam.

Annie and Brie then decided that Wednesday should be spent packing, so the packed themselves into the car and made the drive to Phoenix, venturing down from the mountains and into the sweltering heat that is the sprawling city of Phoenix. Brie might have laughed a little at Annie's reaction to the warmth, but only in a friendly way of course.

Brie continued to be highly amused by the amount of money Annie managed to spend and clothes, tea and a very cute bear at Build-A-Bear because obviously this is the place for two grown up girls to go. Annie got to choose a pretty bear (the gayest little rainbow bear), a sound to put in his paw and then kiss the heart before it was placed inside. Obviously this was the highlight of the day.

After a day like that, both girls are resting up in order to survive a weekend of Vegas fun. In other words, we wont update more until Monday. And well..you know... what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. 

Annie's bear (Jen) and Brie's monkey (Johnny) being sweet and cuddly!
