American Girl Place

Today was the day that Katy and Emma have been waiting for since we left home. Their day at American Girl Place - my mom started them on these dolls. She loved dolls and it looks like 2 of her granddaughters have inherited that love. These dolls are really wonderful - they are beautifully made, with lots of outfits and accessories that give both Emma and Katy hours of fun.
Our first stop was the Hair Salon - yes, there is a hair salon for dolls. They can choose the style for their doll and ribbon colors - both Katy and Emma decided to get the hairdos before they had their pictures taken for the American Girl magazine cover. Each of them received a special copy with their pictures on the front.
Here's Nicki's finished do - just like new!
Here's Emma at lunch in the American Girl Cafe - they provide chairs for the dolls that attach to the table and even little china cups for them to drink from. The girls were in a hurry to leave here to go back to the hotel to play with all their AG stuff - no time to take pictures because the boxes were flying open. Suffice to say that between the two of them w had 4 big bags!
This picture is the same as the first - I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get rid of a picture that I don't want in the post.

The Big Reveal

I have always wanted a Tiffany bracelet so when Greg and I were walking by Tiffany yesterday it seems like the right time to make the big splurge. And....of course, I didn't want the sterling silver one - nooooo! I wanted the 18K gold one - it's so pretty! I just love it. I felt kind of bad spending that kind of money on myself but now that it's on my wrist, I feel soooo much better! Did I mention I went to the Oprah store? Got a present for Sarah (the new married girl knitter)there! Today was spent at American Girl Place with Emma and Katy - they had a blast seeing all the stuff they usually only see in the catalogue up close and personal. Tomorrow is Wicked and Lisa's 40th birthday. Good thing there's not alot of walking tomorrow because right now I don't think I could walk another step.
