American Girls Outing

Diane (Grandee) has started a tradition of taking the girl grandchildren (Emma Claire, Quinn and Lila) to the American Girls store at the Mall of America for lunch at the bistro and shopping. Saturday was our second annual outing. This store is a little girl's dream.
We had lunch at the bistro (dolls included). Your doll has her own little seat and they bring out cups and saucers (complete with a tiny pitcher of pink lemonade for her). She even gets a tiny bowl of whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles on top for dessert.
Following our lunch, we had the dolls hair done in the beauty shop (Lila even had hers ears pierced). Then, was the shopping for the perfect accessories. Emma Claire and Quinn both chose the same outfits. A little ballerina outfit for themselves to match their dolls. Very cute. Emma Claire changed into hers immediately when she got home. (and, of course, changed "Mermaid" - her dolls name, for that day anyway).
