Earlier this year, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend an event at the American Girl store in downtown Chicago. The funniest thing about it was it was all adult women (ok, maybe a few men). We all walked through the store, dreaming of what magic it would be to bring our children to this store and experience it themselves. We looked at all the dolls, all the books, all the accessories…saw the new dolls and saw Molly, who is retiring this year. When we were done looking around, we went to the American Girl cafe and indulged in some fabulous desserts!
There we sat with some girlfriends and talked and reveled in each others company. It was so relaxing and so perfect. Isn’t that what the American Girl doll experience is all about after all? Making memories, using nothing but our imagination and time. We sat and talked and then awaited the information that we were told we would be the first to know. Eek! You could cut the anticipation with a knife! 🙂
So, what are you waiting for. Pop on over and see how they have changed…as well as what fabulous-ness has stayed the same. But do it quietly so your little ones don’t see what you are looking at. They will want one for sure!! 🙂

What an opportunity to learn and be in that room. It was so memorable. Something I wish I can experience with all of my girls some day…being there with them. EEK!! 🙂
