Getting Kaya

Cooper's birthday wish came true. She now owns Kaya the American Girl Doll. In September, the American Girl Store opened in Kansas City! We were very excited about this news. I had taken Cooper to the AG store in Chicago 2 years ago with our friends Michelle & Teagan. It was a great experience, as Cooper had just purchased her Just Like Me doll a few months before our trip. Since then Cooper has had her heart set on getting Kaya. So she finally saved up enough money that she was able to make her wish come true.

I took Cooper to KC to the AG Store on Saturday. It would be a quick trip, but one well worth the time in the car. As soon as she saw the store front she was overjoyed and bouncing out of her seat. She rushed right up to the door and was ready to get Kaya in her grasp. We brought her other doll, Maye, to visit the beauty shop and get her hair done and some pampering while we shopped. We found Kaya and carried her around while we decided what else was going home with us that day. When we had all our decisions made, it was time to checkout. Cooper proudly purchased Kaya and was just beaming. It was a wonderful moment that I will never forget.

After our time in the AG store, we walked around the mall and grabbed some lunch. It was a fantastic mommy & daughter day.
