Salon American Girl Style

After lunch, we had an appointment for the dolls at their salon. Cute, huh? Apparently, it's REALLY cute because the wait time after you make an appointment was a good 2 hours. That place was crazy busy! But the girls' dolls were not only getting their hair done but also getting their ears pierced. At first, Sage was adamant that her doll not get her ears pierced. Why? Because HER ears aren't pierced and then the doll wouldn't look like her. But I convinced her that it would be fun to be able to change them out and that they would still look alike.

I can't tell you how thrilled I was at how much she loved this doll and this place. It was really magical for her.--and us!So cute!

The girls and their dolls. Isacah kept saying, "I can't believe I got an American girl doll!" Later, she told Chrissie that it was the best birthday ever. We laughed and said, "YES! You too can buy happiness for 100s of dollars!"

So glad that mom was able to be in on this with us. I absolutely loved dolls when I was little, so to get to experience this with Sage was pretty awesome.

I let Sage pick her doll. She went in there and knew exactly what she wanted, as I said in the first post about this place....but I SO wanted her to get this doll. Okay, I wanted the doll. I knew before we went that Sage would want the doll that "looked like her," but apparently, I wanted the doll that looked like me. She had long, straight blonde hair, fun clothes....oh, and her name? Julie. ha! Seriously, I'm not even kidding. And Sage liked her too. But not MORE. SO here I am. I even asked Sage multiple times, "So are you SURE you don't want Julie?" YES, she was sure.

The finished product. The ribbons didn't survive, but the braid is still very much intact. Sage is doing a great job taking care of her.
