I've been meaning to do a post like this for a while. How adorable are all these birthday girls in their special birthday outfits.  (To see what party the photo is from, click on the link above the photo or the photo itself.)

Long story short... My daughter loves piano, so my husband found a used keyboard on Craigslist. We picked it up in Manhattan Beach (about 40 minutes from our house) and there's a HomeGoods nearby. My husband, being the kind, generous, and patient man that he is, hung out with my four-year-old, while I got to shop.
