Maya and I have loved the American Girl books and dolls since we started reading the books in 2009. This September we finally got a chance to go to American Girl Place in Los Angeles together. The first thing we did when we arrived was eat lunch at the cafe. They had special seats for Josefina and Felicity so they were able to join us for lunch. For our meal we enjoyed hot cinnamon rolls, pink lemonade, fruit skewers, pasta and salad, petites cake, cookies and mousse. We sat out on the balcony and enjoyed the mild weather. The napkin holders were hair bands with pink ribbons that you get to keep and Maya has worn hers several times since. It was a lovely atmosphere and Maya and I enjoyed this special Mummy-Daughter date.
This is Kanani. She is from Hawaii and is the 2011 Girl of the Year. Maya loves the beach so she thinks Kanani is pretty cool.
One of the highlights of our visit was getting Felicity and Josefina's hair styled. Here is Felicity in the salon chair...
...and her final hair style.
Josefina's turn.
Maya loved looking at all of the clothes there for the dolls. She had been saving up to buy a "modern" outfit for each girl so she could have some clothes other than their period clothes. She chose an outfit for each of them that she loved. It was a great visit.

That looks like fun and the lunch sounds yummy.
I'd love to take my girls to a place like that Maya looks like she had a great time and I'm sure it makes a fun memory to look back on. Happy Birthday Josh... What is happening to our 20's we will be 'old marrieds' at church soon! Love that you are blogging again.
What a wonderful girlie day! Love the dolly hairstyles.
American Girl Place is the greatest. I loved going there with my girls - it's something I will always remember and I think Kate will too. It's so nice that you got to do this together.
I'll probably never go there . . . glad you had fun together.
