Since Olivia was 4 she has wanted an American Girl doll. So I told her that when she turned seven she could have one. She has REEEEEAly wanted a doll. She has spent the last 3 years going through the catalogues and cutting out the pictures and dreaming of a real doll one day. For the past year she has been trying to decide which doll she wanted to get for her birthday. Lately she has been wanting Rebecca. So, the day finally came. It was like Christmas the night before. She was so excited she couldn't sleep. This was more exciting than Disneyland. The next day we piled in the car and we decided to visit the American Girl store in LA. The girls were great the whole drive and for the whole day. 
Just about to leave...they can't stop smiling. Sammie was a very good sport because she understood that she will get to do this too when she turns seven. She has her eye on Kit. I think we have started a tradition.
After visiting the store we drove down a little further to see Grandma and Grandpa Biron. It was such a nice surprise for our day. We didn't realize they were vacationing so close to where we were already going to be. Uncle Mike and Aunt Erna joined us too. We had pizza together for dinner before heading back home. We got home late. Everyone was sleeping. Everyone was happy. It was a good day.

I'm glad you made it there. I look forward to going there now someday
Yes, it was a good day! It was a fun surprise to see you guys even for just a few hours. The girls were so darling in their pj's watching TV and eating snacks in our bed while the adults visited that night before you left. We loved seeing you!
We started that tradition too when the girls turn 8. Fun times.
