Every girl's dream

Today Sophia and I spent the day with my friend Molly and her daughter Caroline and we celebrated Sophia's third birthday (which is coming up on Saturday). Molly thought it would be fun to take the girls to the American Girl Cafe at the Mall of America. I never imagined how much fun we would have! From the minute that we walked in they made a big deal about Sophia's birthday. She got a special card, a sticker to wear, and a special place card. All of the servers called the girls princesses. Of course they totally loved that.

The girls each got to begin by picking a doll out to bring along and sit at our table. The dolls got their own high chairs, menus, and meals. It was just adorable.

Both girls loved feeding their dolls and giving the dolls some lemonade to drink (by the way everything was REAL!)

The menu at the cafe was amazing. Molly and I were quite impressed by the selections. All adult meals include an appetizer and an entree. The children's menu includes an entree, drink, and treat. Sophia and Caroline both picked chicken fingers and ice cream for the treats. When they brought out the ice cream Sophia's had a candle in it and the severs gathered around so and sang "Happy Birthday" to her. Sophia just adored this and loved even more that she got to blow out the candle in her ice cream.

After we finished treats, we went to ride all of the rides the girls could go on. It was so fun to hear them giggle and have such a great day together.

We got home and Sophia was completely exhausted. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. I can hardly believe my little girl will be three on Saturday, but this was such a great way to spend time with her and create a wonderful memory. I can barely wait to go back for Caroline's birthday in August. If you are looking for something totally girly to do, this is it!
