Our favorite BFF Ruby Ru turned 6 last week so we set off to LA Tuesday to celebrate. Nikki asked me about 8 months ago if I'd be up for taking the girls to the American Girl store with them for Rubes' birthday. Sounded like a great idea! We've had a pretty excited group of girls for the past eight or so months, eagerly awaiting one little birthday.
We set out early Tuesday morning and made our way to the store. We arrived in time to make appointments at the hair salon, confirm our lunch reservation and do a little browsing before our big birthday lunch. They seated us in the most darling little room and we had a wonderful lunch with our birthday girl. All our American Girls (Lanie, two Kananies and a Julie) had a nice lunch as well.
After lunch we shopped (Lulu had a Christmas gift card, Rubes got her birthday gift and Abbie & Daisy had a bunch of Aunt Susie money and allowance they saved for the occasion), got the dolls new hairdos, visited the AG Library and then got ready to make our way home. We stopped for some pancakes (or fish and broccoli if your Abbie) at IHOP before the long ride back. The girls watched American Girl movies and the moms got a long overdue chance to chat. Posie was a real trooper the entire day. She is a wonderful, wonderful Bitty Baby in the making.
Girls at the fountain. What a lovely day in CA. Could have sat outside forever if we didn't have a long, long ride home. Thanks Butler Girls for inviting us for your day of fun!!!!

Looks like a great birthday celebration to me!
What a fun birthday! I think after playing with your girl's dolls, Kennedy just might like to do the same.
