Happy birthday Pippa.

November 3rd 2014, the longest day of my life so far, made possible by the magic of international time zones. The day was started in Australia and some time after 5pm our time the date line was crossed and we got to restart most of the day again in Oahu Hawaii, from about 8am. So to celebrate I went shopping and that brings us to the point of this post -to wish Pippa a happy birthday. 

Pippa was waiting for us (Llewelyn, Maddie and I) at the Ala Moana shopping centre, where American Girl had a pop up shop (Timed especially for us) conveniently near a Disney store, a Lego store and an outlet of the unavoidable but convenient ABC store (All Blocks Covered - literally). She was disguised as the Historical recently rereleased Samantha, but we knew she was our Pippa when we saw her. We also saw Tauralie there (#61) trying on the My American Girl meet outfit, she was interested in coming to Australia too but had to go home to get permission, and a new outfit. 

Happy birthday Pippa. 

Um, thanks I guess?

The other bit of the surprise is in your box.
