Chicago

Here are some of the pictures from our trip to Chicago to pick up Kaya .

After looking through the store and mulling over every option, dolls are selected... now we wait for them to arrive.Here they are!
Gracie chose a "Just like me" doll and promptly named her Banana (it has now changed to Julia).
After looking over Molly & Josephina pretty good Elie chose Kaya, the Nez Perce girl.

In front of the American Girl doll store, Chicago, Ill.

We came equipped...

Elie having a little chat with Kaya while Gracie took a turn with the stroller.

It was a totally fun weekend! The girls had so much fun & their dolls rarely left their sides. We had an adventurous pic-nic lunch in Chicago city, where yogurt, an apple, two drinks & a bag of chips came to over $10... hmm. But the girls thought is was great. We also visited the Lego store, located just down the street.

At home Elie's doll rarely leaves her side still. Bryce had a little set of clothes waiting for her when we returned and she is frequently changing her clothes back and forth. She goes everywhere with us... everywhere. Elie tells people that Kaya is her late birthday present, even though she hasn't had her birthday yet:o)...
