For Christmas, Harper asked for American Girl gift cards. She wasn't sure what she wanted to get with them, but knew she wanted something. She had her eye on the catalog for weeks. So, Grandma & Boppy, Cole & Melanie and Mommy & Daddy all got her gift cards. She was excited...but that wasn't all. Grandma & Boppy gave her an invitation to the American Girl Store in Dallas for a lunch with her doll McKenna. Now that made her REALLY excited!!!
Saturday, Grandma, Harper and I loaded up bright and early and headed to Dallas with McKenna and the gift cards. When we arrived at the store, we first went to make McKenna an appointment at the doll hair salon. Harper chose a flip ponytail for her. It is always so much fun to see her get her hair done. Harper loves it!
We then headed downstairs to spend her dough! Those gift cards were burning a hole in her pocket!!! She had been thinking for a few days, looking at the catalog and finally decided on getting McKenna a "sister." Harper chose Kit to join our family. Kit is one of the historical dolls who lived during the Great Depression. Harper had just enough money to get Kit and her accessories (which included a really cute necklace and hat) and this mini record player she had been looking at in the catalog for months. Grandma also splurged on an outfit for McKenna, hangers for all the doll clothes and the Kit movie. Harper was beaming from ear to ear when the clerk handed her Kit. So fun!
After our shopping excursion, we headed upstairs to the Bistro for our lunch reservation. Harper chose a Shirley Temple for her drink and the waitress even brought Kit and McKenna some lemonade to drink. They all three enjoyed it very much! The meal was delicious and the dessert was even better! Harper got the cutest trio of ice cream cones!
Thanks to Grandma for a wonderful day of fun and memories!!!
