American Girl

We held off as long as we could, because I knew we’d ALL (mom and I included), fall hard for American Girl once we got there.

We decided this was the year that the girls were old enough to take care of a real AG doll and the “investment” was worth it. ;)

AB and Mamie were so excited to cash in on their Christmas gift from Grammy & Pop.

We tried to get reservations at the Bistro for the full experience, but they were booked solid until mid-January, so Grammy promised the girls a trip back for Spring Break!

We left Tucker with Daddy and headed for Orlando early. We knew the store would be busy, so we wanted to get there as soon as they opened.

The sales clerk was so sweet to give us a tour and a little history about the dolls.

After shopping and looking at every.single.thing., AB decided on one of the Truly Me Dolls, that looks like her. She named her Shelby.

Mamie chose one of the new Wellie Wishers, Willa, and she actually looks like her, too!

Super sweet.

It was a fun morning full of girl stuff.

Since we couldn’t get in at the AG Bistro, we chose the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Yum. It’s hard to be that close to one and not go. ha.

After lunch, we hit @Home for Grammy & I to do a little shopping.

Of course Shelby and Willa came, too.

Such a sweet day and hopefully a wonderful memory for the girls. I know it will be for me and their Grammy.
