American Girl Doll Trip!

In the middle of July, we took Addysen and Lexi to Chicago to get their first American girl dolls!  We had a BLAST! Girls trips are always the best.  We shopped, we ate, we laughed (a lot) and we bonded!  Such a great weekend!  I think Nici and I both spend a lot more money than we intended on spending, but we both felt it was totally worth it when we saw smiles on our girls faces and the twinkles in their eyes.  The memories that were made this weekend were worth every cent and will last a lifetime!

Lexi, Addysen and Morgan looking through their American Girl doll magazine.
We made it to Chicago, LETS GO SHOP!
We made it to the store and we found Julie!!!
Lexi and Addysen got the same doll.  Look at those smiles!
We got her! She's out of the box! And safe in her backpack!

Julie (now in her cheer leading outfit) Addysen and me
HA HA HA!!  Erin was messing around with this hat.  We thought is was something to buy at the store and we thought it was funny on her, so we were taking pictures.  A couple of minutes later, once we were done playing with it, a little girl and her mom walked by, the little girl picked up the had, put it on and walked out of the store.  We all died laughing.  It was a great moment!
Back to the hotel to play a little bit.
The Julies need to change clothes again and get their hair brushed, again;)
Tammy & her girls at dinner.
Time for bed in matching PJ's from Nici!
Tammy was not ready for bed, because she felt pretty hot in her new dress! Mom and I agreed, so she modeled for us.

Love this picture of the girls. After we looked at it, we laughed and laughed as it looks like Lexi it flashing gang signs:)
Me and my girls!
Grandma K, her girls and her grandgirls - minus the Baker's:(
Train ride home, all the kids were really good, but really loud...
So I'm sure the entire train clapped once we got off the train:)
