Audrey turned 5 on July 13. What a wonderful day for a beautiful girl. We surprised her with a visit to American Girl Boutique & Bistro in Dallas as we were there visiting friends.
She picked out matching pjs for herself and her Bitty Baby and she chose a new Bitty Twin from her Grandma and named it Mary for our dear friend and Texas hostess, "Mary"!
We enjoyed cookies and ice cream sundaes at the dessert bar and then headed off to see the new American Girl movie, "Kit Kittredge."
A quick stop for Shirley Temples where the waitress surprised us and brought out more sweets- cupcakes!
As Mary and I finished up our party cocktails Eric took the kids in to a darling boutique across the way created just for girls called "Sweet & Sassy." They were offering free hair styles and limo rides in their pink limo! We were driven to the theatre in style.
After an evening BBQ, swim, and opening presents in a big tent decorated just for Audrey by the other kids (complete with banners, balloons, streamers, and homemade signs)Audrey then blew out her birthday candles and moments later it was lights out.
Happy Birthday, My American Girl

What a great day out - looks like you did it in style. I've never been to the Dallas store, but it looks cool.
It is very cool--quintessential American Girl style. I will peruse your site some more as I know my girls would love your products. Thanks for reading (& writing)--nice to meet you virtually!
I think seeing Audrey scream with delight and drag you into the American Girl store proves how much she loved the whole experience! Such fun!
Lovely photos too of snippets of your trip to Dallas. I'm so glad you had such a great trip, spending precious time with Scott, Mary, Amanda and Justin again. You can tell how much fun you all had. Lots of memories made and shall hopefully keep you all going until the NEXT time!
