Utah Visit with Elisa, Part I (Birthday Treats)

In celebration of Elisa's 15th birthday, we flew (Frontier) up to SLC so that she could spend some time with her cousins. Somehow, they always schedule the father/son campout on her birthday weekend, so it was no big deal for Elisa and me to go up to Utah since Erik and the boys would be gone a night anyway. Our flight left Friday, May 1 in the morning, around 11am. Erik let me take his car and got us premium parking as well. It took a few minutes for me to find a spot. Thankfully the flight wasn't delayed like it was last year. Elisa and I sat apart, but it's only an hour flight, so no big deal.
I'm pretty sure it was Lisa who picked us up from the airport. The girls are always happy to see each other. We only spent a few days up in Utah, but they were filled with lots of fun. Here are the pictures I took:

While the girls were at the park, Lisa and I stopped in Sephora. Lisa made good use of the in-store samples, and I went to the counter to claim Elisa's free birthday gifts, which were a few perfumes that she didn't care for too much. I kept telling Lisa to get going because it was almost time to pick up the girls. She ignored me until I was checking out at the counter, and then she loudly interrupted us by telling me to hurry up and that it was time to go haha!
 

May 1-Lisa trying on as much makeup as she could, it was all fun until one of the products she used started to peel off her face.

May 2 

Elisa's actual birthday. We made sure she had lots of fun. She and Aaliyah's favorite place to go is Angel Devil desserts. I let her order whatever she wanted. She got a drink, a strawberry and a grape tanghulu, which she almost choked on. 

The girls enjoyed their drinks.

I thought I said Elisa, but the dude must have heard "Hi Lisa" haha. 

While Lisa and my mom and I shopped around (I think we went Buckle), the girls looked around Hot Topic. I bought both of them some stuff. Aaliyah asked for a hat and a shirt, so I bought her those. After we checked out, an employee hosted a trivia contest with a spin and win. Elisa got the trivia question correctly (something about the Demon Hunters movie) and got to spin! She won a free shirt! So, we went back inside, and she found a shirt from one of her favorite anime shows, the Apothecary diaries.

Then we had lunch at their favorite restaurant, CupBop. My mom and I shared a cup. I would like them better if there was more good stuff and less rice/noodles or if their prices were a little lower. The girls also really like their fish-shaped ice cream treats.

After eating, I picked up a full cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. Elisa had chosen red velvet flavor. It was yummy and took a few days to devour. We invited Isabelle over to celebrate Elisa's birthday. The girls had a fun time giggling and eating cake.

Isabelle and Elisa about to enjoy the cake. There was so much frosting on this cake, which I normally like but this cake had an excessive amount.
