This past Tuesday my mom, sister, and I took my niece to the American Girl Place in Chicago to celebrate her 7th birthday. The weather was beautiful, the store was filled with little girls and their dolls, and we had a great time. We explored all three floors - filled with various dolls, furniture, clothes, and accessories, and Amanda chose birthday gifts from my mom and me. Her doll, Kirsten, had a busy afternoon also. We dropped her off at the Doll Hair Salon to get her hair done and a facial (cleaning any dirt and smudges off). There were quite a few dolls in line, so it took quite a while. The highlight of our day was having afternoon tea in the cafe. Everything was very elegant and we enjoyed little sandwiches and scones with pink lemonade and tea. In addition to the dessert tartlets, Amanda received a heart-shaped birthday cupcake with a candle and we sang "Happy Birthday" to her. It was a great "Girls Day" birthday celebration!

Good job on the blog. It is lots of fun and a good way to share your experiences.
It looks like you had a good time at the American Girl Place. I remember taking Jennifer there several years ago. She actually also has a Kirsten doll.
I look forward to reading more of your blog.
What a fun day we had! I'm showing Amanda your pics and the blog right now. So glad we went! Amanda really had a great time and is missing you and Mom. We'll have to come up soon. :)
