Atlanta Christmas Vacation ~ Day 3...

Day 3...this was our super big day that we had been waiting on since Christmas morning.  The girls headed to the American Girl Doll store and the boys headed to Legoland.


I will admit...this was a totally "over the top" adventure, but I wouldn't trade this time with Anna Lauren for anything in the world.  So many sweet smiles that I will treasure forever!


We told them the quicker they smiled, the quicker they could go into the store...they smiled real quick, I promise!


Too bad I didn't get the picture of all the moms/daughters, but this is most of our group.  Me, Anna Lauren, Madeline, Kelly, Parker, and Kennedy (Madeline's other cousins)...


Wish I knew what Anna Lauren was telling Madeline...


While Anna Lauren looked around the store with MeMe, I waited in line to make her doll a hair appointment.  I probably waited in line at least an hour...obviously getting their hair done is pretty popular.  When I got to the front of the line, Anna Lauren came and picked out the style she wanted.


She had been looking online...she knew what she wanted but couldn't find it in the book.  However, she found another one she liked just as well.


Showing off her purchases...


We had lunch reservations at 12:30...yes, it was expensive. But...totally worth the experience!



She thought the basket of french fries was so cute, and it was.  I'm telling you, it is just done right...very impressive to me!


Anna Lauren and Madeline at lunch...


You know, you got to have a silly picture!


What she REALLY, REALLY wanted to do all along...have Isabelle's hair styled.




So excited that Isabelle's hair is done and her ears are pierced...


Our "store" adventure has come to an end and now we are headed to check into the hotel...



These girls were beyond excited about spending the night at the hotel...


Checking in their dolls in at the hotel...





As part of the check-in process they had to do a walk down the pink runway...






The bed in the hotel room...I'm telling you...over the top!



As part of the hotel package, she got to keep the bed, bedding, and robe for her doll.


They quickly changed into their swimsuits and were ready for an afternoon swim...


Happy little girls swimming while us mommies enjoyed visiting with each other...some good girl time for sure!


Parker and Anna Lauren headed back to the room to get ready for dinner in their pink robes provided by the hotel.


She dressed her doll in her "fancy" clothes for dinner...


Anna Lauren, MeMe, and Madeline...


As part of the hotel package, they got a late night snack...cookies and milk for them...and...little cookies and milk for their dolls.


And not to leave the boys out, they had a big day too!  They started their day at Johnny Rockets for lunch.


Then played at Legoland...


Matt said this was Cooper's favorite...you built a car and raced other cars...



This is my favorite picture of their day...




The lego set Cooper picked out...Matt said he couldn't get him to smile...he thinks he was scared of the thing behind him.


Back at Aunt Kelly's playing with his new lego set...


And as Cooper said, they had a boy party at Chili's for dinner...


And they ended their super fun day in Uncle Michael's bed watching the lego movie...

Santa did good this year...they both had a super fun girl day and a super fun boy day.  Matt and I had fun too!
