Marina Turns 12, the Whole Farber Clan Visits

 

Marina wanted to come to Minneapolis for her birthday again.

This weekend was all about her. One of Marina's requests was to go to the fabric store. We need some new napkins so I thought I would look for fabric too. We hit up our favorite fabric warehouse, SR Harris.

SR Harris didn't have anything we wanted so we checked out one of the going-out-of-business Joann Fabrics. They had a 2 yard minimum, guess I'll be making lots of napkins. 

 

While the ladies went and had fun, I took apart the boards to the ice rink. Another year of backyard ice skating in the books.

Marina had some birthday money to spend on items for her bedroom. Ikea it is. My kids love Ikea. This kids couch is cute.

Leave it to Meadow to find the cat items. 

Scott gets embarrassed when we wear the same shoes and then I saw this couple.
 

On Sunday Marina wanted to do fun things around Minneapolis. First we got Glam Doll Donuts. 

 

We tend to favor Bogarts but sometimes it's nice to expand beyond our neighborhood. 

Meadow and Marina have been bestie cousins since they were wee babies. They've sure grown up to be cool cats.

Then we went to bougie Linden Hills.

Pinwheels is the best toy store in the cities. Or at least the one we go to the most often.

 

It's pretty fun. They have so much stuff!

We also stopped across the street at Heartfelt. 

I love the prints in the sister shop to Heartfelt, Piccadilly Prairie.

I always spend the whole time on this side of the shop.

See you later Linden Hills.

Magnatiles Picasso Tiles have taken over our living room.

As they should.

The birthday girl wanted an Oreo Cookie Cake. We surprised her with a chocolate cat on top. 

Happy Birthday, Marina!
