My American Girls








We have been celebrating Savannah Grace's birthday for the past month! First, we went to Disney World where she was the birthday princess for 5 days, then we had her party on her actual birthday, then Nee Nee came and babysat last Saturday night and they had a big party for her...I saw at least 20 presents wrapped :0....then for her actual present from us, we headed down to the American Girl Store.

This year, Savannah Grace is totally into American Girl Dolls. I've been into them since she was born..haha...but now she is! Yay! I handed her the American Girl Store magazine before Christmas and gave her a marker and told her to circle things that she liked. When I picked it up a few hours later, everything on every page was circled. :) So, I decided that a trip to the store would be a perfect birthday present.

I dressed her and her doll alike, since dolls are as welcome in the store as the child is! She carried her baby around while she shopped. She definately knows what she likes! There is no fickleness in that little girl! She finally decided on a new doll named Ruthie and a few accessories for her bitty baby dolls. We also had to get a tap shoe outfit for the dolls.

After we shopped, we ate at the bistro in the store. I love this place. Jody says I love it as much as Savannah Grace does. When you check in to go eat, they ask the little girls how many dolls they have with them. Then, every doll gets a highchair that attaches to the table. The entire meal, we discussed all the dolls around us and what outfit they had on and whether their hair had been professionally done. Yes, there is a doll hair salon at the store.

Jackson and Jody were such troopers as we spent about 2.5 hours at the store! And, as soon as we got home, Jackson got his tools and started putting all of the gifts together for Savannah Grace.

It was a fun day...maybe we can go there for my birthday? :)
