As a sweet reward, for a very hard working little girl who managed straight A's in 2nd grade, my in-laws blessed my little girl with a trip to Atlanta to visit the American Girl Store! She chose to enlarge her clan of dolls with Kanani, the 2011 Doll of the year. She hails from Hawaii, so you know there's some cool accessories that go along with that!!
Fortunately for the adults, the store is within a mall, so we aren't limited to an entire day in the store. With all the things to look at, it would be easy to do, though (along with a bazillion other little girls, their dolls, and parents/grandparents). It just so happens there is a bistro within the store, so you could stay all day.... seriously.... There's even a hair salon for the dolls! AG seriously has this market cornered.
We planned ahead and added the American Girl Package to our room. At first, she passed right by the perfectly placed display of AG goodies! Then she turned around and gasped and had her big brown eyes planted on what was to become hers! An american girl bed, pillow and blanket. An AG Doll beach towel, AG Doll magazine (for poolside reading, no less), an AG Doll tote bag, sandals and sunglasses!!
As I type, she's finally settled in for the night with Kanani (Her poor look-a-like doll, Nicole was booted to the side chair in the room) and planning her next adventure to the store tomorrow!! We agree that going to the store is like walking through the catalog that comes in the mail every once and a while. I know she is thrilled and probably overwhelmed. She's journaling about her trip - so it will be interesting to hear her perspective of what she thinks about this special trip!
She blesses my life more than I can imagine - I love to see her face light up like it did today!
