American Girl

Over Spring Break we headed to LA for some fun at Disneyland. I just couldn't pass up the chance to visit the American Girl Store while we were there. If you have a little girl you have probably heard of American Girl or received one of there catalogs in the mail. The dolls are amazing and have the coolest accessories. When gigi turned 5 she asked (begged) Santa to bring her an American Girl doll. She waited almost an entire year for that doll and was very happy when it showed up under the tree. Going to the American Girl Store was something that she has dreamed about as well. So we made reservations to have tea in the cafe and spend some time in the store. From the moment we walked in we both were amazed. Have you seen the Disney commercial where the mom and daughter are together but when they see their reflection they are both little girls? This was the two of us. They had everything you could imagine for your doll. They even had a doll hair salon, so we got her dolls hair done. They put her in a tiny little chair and did her hair...wow! The tea was fun too. They brought all kinds of little sandwiches and cookies. There was a box of conversation starters on the table so we asked each other all kinds of questions... what is your favorite animal...what is your favorite memory of summer...Tell about a time you were scared. It was so much fun. I loved sharing that moment with her, just the two of us. She has such a beautiful heart! Here are a few pictures of us. They even had a tiny chair, plate, and cup for her doll!

I know someone who is going to be looking to Gigi as a role model for all things American girl. Maybe next birthday...
