Last weekend the Haggar women and Aunt Debbie helped Christina get her brand new store up and running. We went from carpet and lights Saturday morning to tables, mannequins, clothes, shoes, and jewelry Sunday night. It was 24 hours of sweat, tears, blood (Aunt Debbie's), and lots of hard work! Christina and her staff finished the job and her doors opened Wednesday afternoon. She was greeted with a huge crowd of customers that night and Thursday. Great way to start a new store and celebrate her 31st birthday! My parents joined her for ribbon cutting on Thursday and are still smiling from ear to ear.
From all of us Tina - We are sooooo damn proud of you and your accomplishments! You have the drive and ambition to put this store on the map. You are a beautiful person that deserves it all! We love you very much. CONGRATULATIONS!
TEAMWORK - Me, Debbie, and our muscles!

The beautiful flowers from our parents - chocolate roses and from my husband - tulips (her fav.)
So happy to watch her in her element. I have cried a lot in Tina's store (Mankato) but the tears today are tears of happiness and pride! I left knowing that she was ok but missing her so much already!
Charlie was hysterical when I said we had to go back to St. Peter. Where Aunt Tina is, is where that little man wants to be. He was happy to meet her new staff and play in her dressing rooms.
The awesome cupcakes my mom ordered for Christina and her staff
