Chicago Day #2

Whew. Tired. Who knew shopping in Chicago for two days could make you so tired?? Today we went BACK to the American Girl store simply for accessories. Outfits, shoes, matching shirts. It is so easy to spend money at this place!! Everything is so very cute. And just watching Carlie light up at everything just makes money seem very unimportant. We also had our "American Girl Lunch" today. You HAD to make reservations, you should have seen the lines!! Everything was pink, pink, pink. Each little girl was treated like a princess, right along with their dolls!

I thought mom would appreciate the pink, pink, pink Christmas trees in this picture. Notice Carlie and Clara's matching American Girl shirts. I got the same thing for Lucy and her "knock off" doll Kaitlyn.




Each doll got their own high chair and small tea cup and plate (which matched the walls, mind you...)




Okay, now this is just laughable. Each bathroom stall had a "doll hanger" made especially to hang your AG dolls while you went potty. Did I tell you this place was over the top?



This is Carlie waiting for the AG store to open. We were freezing with about 15 other little girls with their dolls in hand. It is so funny watching each little girl carry these dolls around!



All in all, this little birthday trip was awesome. I CANNOT WAIT to take Lucy. I even considered taking her for her 6th birthday, instead of waiting until her 7th. And then I already was thinking that I am inviting myself along when Stella and Millie go on their trip!! For me ... who all know is not a very "doll liking" girl - loved this trip. I hope I made some fun memories for many years to come!
