American Girl Day!

A few weeks ago, Granny took Kennedie and I on a super special girl day to the American Girl store! Kennedie has been wanting to go there for ages!
She was just beside herself! She couldn't wait to see what was at the top of those escalators!
The reason for the trip was to adopt the girl of the year, Laney! This was the 1st time she set eyes on her. (And take note of her current doll, Julie's, hair.)
I saw this doll and thought it was just a hoot! Look at the dog's umbrella/leash!
Look at how much this girl is BEAMING!
Granny then treated Julie to a new hair-do! Look at all of those chairs...each one was getting a new 'do! (I kept saying, "these girls actually get PAID to stand here all day and do doll hair?!)
Then we headed into the bistro for a yummy lunch! (Yes, it looks like they're reading the menu upside down, but the inside was in there wrong, lol!)
Kennedie requested the "double decker ponytail" 'do. Here's Julie...isn't it funny how different her hair looks?!
And she was finally done! And she joined her new sister, Laney, for lunch. They had adorable little high chairs, and food for the dolls.
So sweet!
And I just HAD to take a pic (yes, I took my camera into the bathroom...and even into the stall. Oh my! I was so embarassed! I waited until I heard a flush to click the camera!) But, they had a little metal hook in each stall to hang your doll on so you could potty. Ha!
Delish!!
My sweet, sweet girl!
When we got home from Dallas, the boys had been busy little bees. They put up a new shelf on each side of my laundry room! James said that he'd noticed I was running out of storage in there and just decided to build them. I'm such a lucky girl!

And then I kept trying to get a picture of her with her new babies, and little brother kept sneaking in the shot! (look at how he's sucking in and his ribs...oh my!)
What a BOTHER (that's k's new nickname for him)!
Daddy got to work piercing Laney's ears too! Such a great Daddy!
Thank you Granny, for such a special day! What great memories we made together!
