Let the Birthday festivities begin!

Grandma Tish, Amy, and Mikayla in Dallas at the American Girl store. For an afternoon of birthday shopping for Mikayla's two precious dolls Mia and Julie

In the Bistro area of the store for a Birthday lunch date. The dolls are in their highchairs with their own little lunch menus.

She was so surprised about the cake. She told me later she thought it was for someone else, but was so excited that it was just for her! Of course right off she noticed that the polka dots matched her new bedroom (strictly coincidence)!!!

Look she can still blow out all the candles in one breath!

Cowgirl Kayla trying out her lasso-ing skills, she loves the cowgirl outfit for both the doll and herself! Maybe the doll will get the outfit...but since I just finished all her spring and summer clothes shopping (and as usual way overbought) poor little Mikayla will not be matching her doll in this outfit!!!

Birthday Shopping trip and lunch at the American Girl store. Today we went to lunch and shopping with Grandma Tish and Amy. First we enjoyed a yummy lunch with a Birthday cake afterwards, then went shopping so Mikayla could show everyone what her dolls "needed". She had a blast, and loved being the center of attention with three doting adults! That's my girl!!!

Everybody left with a full tummy and shopping bag and an empty wallet as always!
