Around Christmas time she finally had just enough saved to purchase the doll, have her ears pierced and ship it to her house.
Well, when Nate and I heard about how hard she saved and how many extra chores she did for her doll we were really impressed. So, as a special treat we took Abigail to The American Doll Store in Chicago this past weekend, to personally pick up her doll.
Wow, what an adventure, we stayed overnight in a hotel (this was the first for Abigail). When we arrived at the store we had lunch at the American Girl Cafe, made a craft, had Abigail's picture taken with Dolly and walked the whole store a couple of times. Approximately 5 hours later, Abigail was tired!! So, we bundled her and Dolly, along with a few other purchases back into the car and brought her back to Ohio.
Before we took her home, we did a quick mini-session in the studio, to show off her and Dolly's matching outfits (The outfits were from Grandma Jennings).
(Side Note: Abigail's doll does not have a name just yet, therefore, I called her Dolly all weekend long, when Abigail decides on a name, I will add it to this post).
Wishing you the best of everything!
Susan
