She is not really much of a girly girl. She has only recently (last three years) started wearing dresses and skirts on a more regular basis. It was sweatpants and large t-shirts while she was growing up. So when Sarah who complained about going anywhere with her sister decided to start commenting on the fact that she needed more girl clothes things started to change. It happened on the sly mostly happening while she was in college but it happened. This change became easier when they both started wearing the same size clothes. Sarah would decide to shop and then she would go through her closet and give her older clothes away. Lisa became the lucky recipient of a lot of Sarah's hand me downs. It still surprises Sarah though. She was shocked to see that Lisa was not only wearing a skirt last night she was also wearing a pink shirt, both things Lisa never used to do. The whole family got together for her birthday last night. First stop dinner at our favorite place, Willamette Noodle Company, then to the new Regal Cinemas at Lancaster Mall to see "Ratatouille" and finishing off the evening with ice cream at Cold Stone. Lisa opened her gifts while we waited for our dinner. Steve and I gave her a pendent with three small hearts with diamonds and rubies, Sarah gave her a "Starbucks" gift card, Grandma Norma gave her another and Buck topped us all with diamond stud earrings. I am thinking maybe the jewelry is the final push to Lisa becoming a girly girl.

I scoffed at her getting jewelry but...I don't wear stuff like that. I am much happier with all of my scrap supplies :)
