Fun in the "Big D"

CS and I planned and surprised the girls with an overnight trip to Dallas this last Thursday and Friday...and more importantly a lunch at the American Girl Bistro! We had so much fun together, enjoying the Christmas decorations and atmosphere all about town.

We have visited the AG store a couple of times in the past but we have never eaten at the Bistro. I was impressed with the experience and, of course, the three sets of sparkling eyes were worth every penny! I told the girls that they were very lucky to have a Daddy who would sit in a pink room, eat pink muffins, and talk to their AG dolls! What a great guy! :-) ACat shared her meal with her doll Nellie, while Smiley chose Samantha to join her. Little Bit, on the other hand, had her Bitty Baby in the car but declined to allow her to join us for lunch. Instead, she brought her Baby Bear along (and wouldn't even pose for a picture with Baby Bear!). The dolls - and bear - each had a menu of their very own from which to order and a highchair in which to sit. They even got a muffin at the end of the meal! Here are some pics:







After our AG experience, we went to The Shops at Willow Bend to see the Polar Express Snowglobe display. We enjoyed it so much last year and decided to revisit again this year!


Lastly, we headed up to Stonebriar in Frisco...my most favorite mall in DFW! CS and I did lots of looking at boy items! That night the girls begged to eat at Souper Salad, so we headed there before bunking down for the night. On Friday, we hit the Carter's store, Super Target, and Babies R Us...all for Peanut! We are making some headway with baby plans! The big event on Friday was lunch at Freebirds in Richardson. Freebirds is a famous burrito chain in College Station and they have, in the last few years, branched out in Dallas, Austin, and Houston. It is fun to look them up! Great place to eat! Here's the girls riding the merry-go-round at Stonebriar:





Hope you are enjoying this Christmas season...we are!
