American Girl Place
On June 28th Grandma Marilee took Grace, Taryn, Amy and I to downtown Chicago for a trip to American Girl Place. As a present for Grace and Taryn's birthday we were treated to an afternoon of shopping with a personal shopper and lunch at the cafe'. Both Taryn and Grace also got to pick out a new doll. We started off first with help from the personal shopper choosing a doll for Taryn and Grace. Taryn chose Gwen a friend of the Girl of the Year Charissa. Grace chose Julia one of the historical dolls from the 1970's, despite Mom's coaxing to have her get Charissa. Gma Marilee even tried to help with saying that Taryn's doll was Charissa's friend in the book and they could have dolls that were best friends. But, despite the opposition Grace had her mind made up on Julie. All in all as long as she is happy that's all that matters!!
After we chose our dolls Grace picked out the skating outfit she had wanted along with a yoga outfit, doll carrier and some hair accessories. Next up we dropped Nicki, Grace's other doll off at the beauty shop to have her ears pierced. The ladies said Nicki was very brave and she came complete with a collection of tiny silver earrings!! After our hour and a half of shopping we headed to the cafe for lunch. It was so cute with amazing decor just perfect for an afternoon luncheon for both dolls and girls!! We had a 3 course lunch complete with appetizers, choice of entree and dessert!! Marilee told them we were celebrating Grace and Taryn's birthdays so the each got a candle in their cupcakes and sung Happy Birthday.
After our lunch we met up with the guys who had been down the road at Lego Land. The little guys and I think big guys all had a blast! Owen got a mailman set that came with a motorcycle from Dad and a digger set from Gpa.
It sure was a nice treat and a very special day had by all! Thanks Gma and Gpa!! Thanks for making more great memories for us to cherish!
