We've been planning this weekend for months now! Hanna and I have been looking for a reason to go back to AG Place as our first experience was so fun! So when we found out how many of her friends had AG dolls, we started planning a weekend with them. It was so fun again!!!
We were starving after sitting in hours of L.A. traffic when we finally got to our hotel. We quickly dropped our stuff off at The Residence Inn Beverly Hills and headed to Maggianos Italian Restaraunt so yummy!!
After dinner we explored "The Grove" shopping area and gorgeous fountain.
The moms all contributed to these adorable little boxes we presented to the girls and their dolls the night we got there. One box for the girls and one for the dolls. Inside they found lip gloss, nail polish, lotion, candy and most importantly: Matching bracelets for girl and doll (adorable-- thanks Kristen and Melissa for this awesome idea)
After a very short night of sleep for some of us who could'nt stop talking(good times:)!, we got up and ready and headed back to the Grove where AG Place is located.

One happy mommy with the most beautiful and special girl in the whole world. I couldn't help but get a little emotional this weekend realizing just how blessed I am to have her
How can you resist these precious little girls! And yes I realize the "Mamarazzi" took a lot of pictures of our "little dolls"
Our beautiful table!!
The girls enjoying a very quick first course: warm yummy cinnamon rolls! They were followed by an appetizer plate, main course and this yummy dessert plate!
A true natural smile something I got to see a lot of this trip!!
Some very cute purchases. Hanna has been saving up for almost three months for this trip. We circled things in the catalog and made a sheet with circles that we crossed off for each dollar earned. Hanna saved a lot and worked really hard. I'm so proud of her it means so much more when you feel like you earned it! Oh yeah, the doll in the middle is mine....it some how jumped in the cart at the end of the day. (try explaining that to your husband) I have adored it for years....its my immortalized little girl. Hanna says her name is of course Lindsey. Thats only funny if you know the story behind it and if you've gotten this far in reading this long post, chances are you do.

I love your pictures. The one with the 8 of us, turned out adorable. I'll have to print that one. Thanks for such a fun weekend and for making all the arrangments. You're such a great friend.
So, this is all the fun girly stuff I am missing out on? There is A LOT of pink in those photos! What a fun memory with your girls.
Looks like you guys had so much fun! You always do such fun, fabulous things with each of your kids...maybe I should try it sometime! But I don't know the story of Lindsey. Does it have anything to do with a little boy named Cole?
Love,
Melissa
I am missing that weekend already! I haven't heard how Jared took the news of your purchase. You'll have to fill me in. The pics turned out so great. Good job! I think this should be an annual trip but we might have to drive in the middle of the night to skip the traffic...
SO CUTE Geneva.... once again you never cease to amaze. I so wish Emma and I could do something like that. You need to let me know and I will meet you for the next one! I love your sweet doll purchase... little Lindsey is darling :)
I loved seeing ALL the pictures and reading all the way to the very bottom! What a great fun trip. I love the little gifts for all the girls... great idea and so cute!! So fun to spend the weekend with daughters and friends. Good outfit picks, Hanna, and Lindsey is adorable.
FUN! You guys look like you had a great time! Thanks for all your creative ideas I am going to steal when Kylie is old enough! CUTE bracelets.
I'm from LA and I've never heard of American Girls Place. What a fun time you had together.
