In December, I received an e-mail from Jillian's best friend's mom, Teresa. The e-mail would start a countdown to the best weekend ever for Jillian. This awesome family decided to celebrate their daughter Riley's birthday, with a trip to the American Girl Doll Store in Atlanta with her best friend, Jillian!!!
So everything had to be perfect for this perfect weekend....
What is more perfect than matching outfits!!
The flamingo outfit would the outfit they will wear to the store! They both LOVE flamingos! The last birthday celebration together was Jillian's. They built matching flamingos at Build-a-Bear, which now go on every trip they have together! So flamingo outfits will be perfect!!!
Then to plan what to pack. This process was well planned out by Jillian. She fixed her doll's hair just right, put on the perfect outfit and made sure her flamingo and American girl Catalog were also in the bag. Toothbrush, clean clothes....who cares about that stuff??!! The important stuff was packed!!!
Sleeping last night....pretty sure she was too excited to sleep! She woke up, got ready and headed out the door before they had the chance to pull up into the driveway!!!
Good thing they were early! Not sure what this high level of excitement would bring next!
They ARRIVED!!!!
And off she went.....
I wish I was with her to see her face when she gets to this awesome store. I can picture her face, eyes lit up and a big grin that I am sure will not leave her face until Monday morning! She will jump up and down, giggle continuously and she will say everything is AWESOME, cause that is how Jillian rolls!!
Tonight they get to have dinner at the American Girl Bistro, then go the the hotel that is set up with pink linens, and beds special for their dolls. At bedtime they get chocolate chip cookies and milk brought to the room. In the morning there is a special breakfast complete with pink tablecloths and a special seat for your doll. I am so excited for her and a bit jealous.
I hope she has the best trip ever with the best people ever! This memory will last a lifetime! Thanks Calhouns, you guys rock!
