Tea for five

One of the biggest benefits of moving to Seattle for the girls is proximity to an American Girl store.  They each had one of the dolls before we moved, and now they get to visit the store every time we go to the mall...bliss for my girls!  When I saw Jillian had a week of half days at school ahead it seemed like the perfect time to have tea in the American Girl Cafe.

The girls started by planning outfits for themselves and their dolls.  Once everyone was coordinated (including matching hairdos) we headed to the store.

Then the five of us were seated for tea (that's right, chairs and place settings for Violet and Saige too!). We had choice of drink (tea for Jillian and I, hot chocolate for Leah).  And trays of delicious little sandwiches and treats appeared.

It was a fun little afternoon for the girls (and Mommy).
