May 23: 5 year old birthday = special trip! Sadie took her trip to the American Girl Doll Store for her 5th birthday and this year it was Macey's turn! For Sadie's trip we went during the summer while the Colorado Gorsches were here visiting. For Macey's trip we decided to wait until spring so we could enjoy some warmer weather. We also decided to invite the rest of our female family this time around.
We planned our trip for the Saturday before Memorial Day. We had a fantastic day in the city. Grandma Janet and Aunt NeeNee drove to Shorewood Friday night and stayed. They rode with me and the girls. Grandma Sue, Aunt Trista, Jadyn, & Jersy took the train to Chicago to meet us. We enjoyed lots of fun time shopping, we walked across the street to visit the Hershey store, and we ended with lunch in the American Girl Cafe.
Macey decided (after careful deliberation and lots of advice from big sister) to get a doll that looks like her. She chose one with dark sholder length hair and brown eyes. She decided to name her doll Grace. (Grace is also the name of the "doll of the year" for 2015, the doll Sadie wanted Macey to get). Macey received lots of shopping money for her birthday and Sadie had been saving her money as well. The girls had a lot of fun shopping for some new clothing & accesories for their dolls. They even decided to pool their money to purchase one larger item. Macey's favorite purchases were probably her poodle dog and the princess tutu set she bought for the dog.
The girls got to end their day by riding the train home with my mom and sister-in-law. This was a first for both of them. They enjoyed snacks and games on their train ride. We had a blast celebrating this special 5-year-old. I truly can't believe how fast she is growing!
