All American Girl

Grandma Cathie took us to the American Girl Store in Los Angeles today. Hailey packed up two of her four dolls in the double stroller. Unfortunately, she ran into a few people when we were walking...oh well!

Hailey loved the book section of the store. She can not wait until she is able to read books at this level. With the way her reading has been progressing, it should not be too long.

Hailey decided to get her doll's ears pierced at the Doll Hair Salon. We were very proud of "Sarah" for not crying!

Grandma made lunch reservations at the American Girl Cafe. This is the most adorable place I have ever seen.

The dining room is done completely in pink, black and white flowers. Soooooo cute!

This is our table. The napkin rings are hair bows that we got to keep...adorable.

This is the hostess that sat us and got "Sarah" and "Kailey" set-up in their highchairs.

I can not get over how precious this is!

We were able to pick our four-course meal and pink lemonade from a cute pink menu.

There was a box with "conversation starters" on the table. When I asked Hailey how she cheers herself up when she is sad she said, "I eat ice cream." Wow, is that a learned behavior or genetic?

After our wonderful lunch they sang "Happy Birthday" to Hailey. We were served a chocolate mousse, heart cake, and star cookie.

We also sang "Happy Birthday" to the doll. Hailey brought the birthday cake with her.

Most little girls either come to the store with a doll or buy one there. Where are you supposed to put your ($100) doll when you go to the bathroom?

You put her on the doll holder, of course. Precious!

Hailey got one more picture at the cafe before we left.

All of the "Just Like Me" dolls.

Besides the wonderful lunch, Hailey's present from Grandma and Grandpa was this adorable bed for her doll. It matches Hailey's room perfectly.

This was an amazing experience for the three of us. I can not get over how much detail goes into this store. Since I have one of the original dolls, I love this place too. I wish we could buy everything in the store, but that would be ridiculous. Where would we put all of it? I can't wait to go back next year!
