Grandparents Day

The biggest reason I stayed in CA a little longer was to go to a "Grandparent's Day Tea" at American Girl Place with Lauren. Traci wanted to come along for the fun. All of us had been to the "Place" in NYC 3 years ago, but this was the first time visiting the LA store for Lauren and I.

For her b'day, she got to choose a doll. Traci & I were hoping that she would choose Kit, but she loved Mia, the girl of the year 2008. So since her b'day in June, Mia has traveled many, many places. So this was very exciting to actually visit the store and see everything that's in the catalogue.

As you can see by the pics, it's the place of every little girls dream. Since this was a tea, we had little sandwiches, fruit, mini scones and heart-shaped brownies among other things. Everything is decorated in hot pink, black and white. Yes, there's even a special seat for the doll and she even got her own special cup/saucer that matched the bigger ones.

It was so fun to see Lauren in such a "grown up" setting. Guess having a special "tea", in a special store, with my special granddaughter, really did make me feel special.

Thank you Lauren & Mia for making this such a special Grandparent's Day.

Love, Grammy
