American Girl Store!!

This year for Katie Lee's birthday, she decided that she wanted to go to the American Girl Store in Atlanta rather than having a party with her friends. She was beyond excited about the trip.  As soon as we got to the mall, she started to giggle.  As we walked to the door, her smile could get no bigger and she was squeezing my hands with excitement.   We walked in to pink, dolls, and little girls everywhere.  We first made an appointment for her doll to get her hair fixed.  Then it was time for lunch. The bistro was just too cute.  We enjoyed our girl time together.   

They sang Happy Birthday to her. 

After lunch, it was time for some shopping.  Katie Lee wanted Isabelle.  Grammie and Poppie gave her money for her birthday, so she could get Isabelle.  She also got a few other things thanks to her saving from doing chores, pulling teeth, and good grades.

Katie Lee had a wonderful time. 

Daniel and Donnie had lots of fun too playing at the mall.

After our shopping trip, we headed for the hotel. We stayed in the American Girl room.  Katie Lee was super excited about her special treats in the room. 

 

We headed to The Cheesecake Factory for supper.  YUMMY!!!

The next morning we headed to the zoo.  The kids had a ball looking at the animals.  Daniel loved the monkeys and kangaroos.  "They're so cute," he would say.

One last trip back to the store before we headed home. 

Thanks to Grammie and Poppie.
