American Girl Bistro

Okay, if you are not a girl, you can stop reading now. This post is only for girls who appreciate girlie things. The day after Thanksgiving, my mom planned a fun girls' day out for the women in our family - Mom, Aunt Sessie, Aunt Julie, Avery, and me. She made a reservation for us all at the new American Girl Boutique & Bistro at the Galleria in Dallas. Downstairs where you go in is the store, and it has ALL of the dolls, accessories and fun things you could ever want for your American Girl doll. Avery has the Bitty Baby doll which she got for her birthday this past year. She had SO much fun going through the Bitty Baby section and showing us all the things she liked (most of which we all secretly bought for her for Christmas). In addition to all the merchandise for your doll, there is also a Hair Salon where you can have your doll's hair styled. It was pretty cute. Not that Bitty Baby has any hair, but the bigger American Girl Dolls do.

When it came time for our Bistro reservation, so we went up the escalator to the Bistro and Dessert Bar. You bring your doll with you, and your doll has a special seat at your table.

These were the napkin rings which we got to take home. They can be a cookie cutter, or just a neat souvenir.
We could not get our cameras to work in this place - weird lighting or something, and it made the pictures all look blurry. But, at least you can tell who we all are.

This was Avery's favorite part, the delicious sprinkle sundae. She THOROUGHLY enjoyed it.

Sorry for the bad picture, this could have been really pretty if we knew how to use a camera!!

When Avery is a little bit older I want to get her the "Kit" doll because she looks so much like Avery. She looks more like her than any of the dolls you can create to look "just like you".

We had a blast that day and hope we can go back to the Boutique and Bistro in the coming years, although it's a very dangerous place because you want to buy everything in there!

After we left there, we went to look at the GIANT Christmas Tree in the middle of the Galleria Ice Rink. It was amazingly huge. Here we are - again, bad picture. Sorry!
