American Girl Doll Birthday



          Yesterday was my daughters 6th birthday. It's an amazing feeling to think that   
          6 years ago, my life forever changed. When a 6 pound bundle of joy entered my -
          world and made it truly a beautiful place. There are no words to describe my love 
         for this child. She is sweet, kind, thoughtful and loving. Happy Birthday Baby Girl.


           We had a birthday celebration at The American Girl Doll store /restaurant in -
     Los Angeles  and wow, what a fabulous place for a little girl. Full of wonderment
    and packed with pink happiness everywhere. Here are a few pics of our day.


                                                                           Cute Menu


                                     Pretzels - fruit - veggies and dipping sauces...so adorbs.


                                                                         For Mom 


                                          The girls just waiting to be picked....pick me, pick me!


                                                              Such a wonderful book section.


I leave you with "Calissa" Avery named her herself.

    So cute! I loved American Girl Dolls when I was younger, and even got to go to the American Girl Doll place in Chicago! I didn't know they had a set up in LA, too.

    that is so adorable, I have an American girl doll stored away for Indigo. What age is best to give it to her in your opinion? She turns 4 this year...but doesn't take good care of things just yet.

    Happy 6th Birthday Avery! I've been so wanting to take Sophia to AG at The Grove. But I think I'll wait just a couple of more months. Not sure if 4 is too young still? She has a Bitty, but I know she would love a Big Girl doll!

    Oh this brings back such memories...my girls had the dolls and all the paraphernalia, but they were just at the age where they were losing interest when the store and tea room opened. I missed out on that experience, it's fun to read about it.
