American Girl Place

While we were in Chicago I thought I would surprise Avery and take her to the American Girl Place. Let me tell you, this is what little girls dreams are made of!! I took Avery to brunch at the American Girl Cafe and then I let her pick out a doll and an outfit for her doll. The Cafe was so neat and the food was delicious. Since we did not have time to pick out a doll before brunch we used one of their loaner dolls to eat with. Avery immediately choose Kaya to have brunch with. Once we were done eating we headed into the store to start the challenging task of picking a doll and an outfit. She loved Kaya and had a hard time choosing, but in the end Avery decided on the Just Like Me Doll. She picked out a cute little purple outfit for her (Purple is Avery's favorite color) and then we took her to the salon to get her ears pierced. When the lady asked Avery what she named her doll she proudly said "Pocahontas." I think she had a love for Indians!! Since then Avery has not let Pocahontas out of her sight. She went to every restaurant with us, the race, the expo, sightseeing...you name it, Pocahontas was with us! It was such a fun girls day and I hope Avery remembers it forever. Any of you out their with little girls, I highly recommend going if you ever get a chance.

These were the conversation cards that were on the table. Avery and I had so much fun with these. I would ask the questions and she would answer. I pray that I never forget our conversations that morning...they were so precious!
