american girl place

for J's 5th birthday grandma and grandpa wanted to take her to chicago and visit the american girl place.  some good friends of ours have a beautiful condo right across from navy pier and were kind enough to let us stay there for our visit. 

it was a quick trip - got there friday eve, spent saturday experiencing american girl, went to rainforest cafe for a late lunch, and then went back to the condo for the evening to play with our new doll and and have yummy chicago style pizza for dinner.  sunday we got up and went to brunch at the american girl place and then headed back to stl.  we had so much fun spending this special time with j and i know j had an incredible time having 3 of her favorite adults all to herself :) 

introducing..."katie haberberger" (named in honor of the teenager who lives across the street :))

a special thanks to my mom and dad for giving j and myself such an amazing weekend.  i have not had her to myself in over 3 years and it was great to spend one-on-one time with my first born :) 

and a special hug and kiss to my amazing husband for taking care of the two little girls for the weekend while we were galavanting around chicago!!  things were a little hectic that weekend, his dad ended up in the hospital for a couple of days, plans were changed and he just rolled with it!!!  love you!!
