My American Girl

As you probably remember, Abbi received an American Girl doll for her birthday in November. Each American Girl doll represents a different time period in history. The doll she wanted most was Kit, who grew up during the depression. Abbi also chose Kit because she looks so much like her. Back in August, an American Girl store opened not too far from us and we finally had the chance to go yesterday! They always reveal a Doll of the Year on New Year's Day so we were there for all the hubbub. Abbi's best friend, Bethany, went with us along with her mom and sister. Here are some highlights... Here's Abbi in front of one of the 'Kit' displays. Here are Abbi and Bethany by another 'Kit' display. Bethany got the Nikki doll for Christmas. Nikki was the 2007 Doll of the Year. Notice that Bethany and Nikki have on matching shirts...so do Abbi and Kit. We had our lunch at the food court at the mall and then went back to the American Girl Bistro for dessert. They even have little chairs for the dolls to sit in...so cute! Since we only had dessert, we sat at the bar, which didn't make for great picture taking, but I did my best. Bethany's little sister, Jessica is on the left. The girls each had a root beer float while Laura and I had a chocolate milkshake...mmmmm!
And here we all are! What a fun New Year's Day!
