Taking a break from shopping and waiting on our table to eat dinner.
Ready for lunch at the Bistro.
Eden, Chrissa, and KaTie...Tea-time!
The boys enjoying their time with Optimus Prime:)
Eating their Ice cream Floats... Root beer and Orange Cream!
Finally was able to get Hank to pose with Eden inside the Bistro with a doll!
Both kids with their respective "dolls."
A great end to a fabulous day!
What a day....Eden loves her American Girl Dolls, Chrissa and KaTie (yes, spelled with a capital T) and has been asking for quite sometime to take them shopping and to eat in the Bistro. Finally, for Valentine's Day, this was our treat to Edibug...she's only 8 for so long:). Hank had fun going to Game Stop to pick out a new DS case and game...boys will be boys! We had KaTie's ears pierced, hand-picked a new outfit for Chrissa (Julie's 70's Retro Day-outfit), and all enjoyed dinner with the dolls, and oh yes, Optimus Prime! Of coursse, while there, we were able to meet the new "Girl of the Year," Kanani from Hawaii--she's beautiful with long brown hair that can be styled in many ways (i.e., the fabulous "Hair Salon" was witness to that)! So now, Eden has a new goal in mind...Kanani for her Birthday...we shall see!
I love taking my children to do things that I believe have long awaited to do, while other friends and family have gone and she's heard all the stories, and reads the magazines...she's been waiting for over a year. Eden earned this trip with taking care of her dolls, their clothes, and all of their accessories. What a little doll I have, it was nice to see her eyes light up with excitement! Hank's eyes even lit up when he saw the Bitty Baby with his look-a-like blond hair and wearing a super hero outfit...he confided in his daddy, "I would like that doll, daddy, the one that looks like me." Bless his heart, I probably would have broke down and bought it for him.
This was definitely a trip of indulgence; we definitely didn't need new clothes for these dolls, nor pay so much for dinner and all that it included...but it was a nice afternoon to have spent with my family. Now off to plan for a trip in May...I better start saving up!
