Meeting Isabelle

Marina has been anxious to see the new American Girl Doll of the Year. On New Year's Eve, we got the new catalog featuring Isabelle, a ballet dancer. That's when Marina got really excited.

Last year we went to the American Girl store on New Year's Day to check out Saige. There was a line out the door and we had to wait outside for a while before we could even get into the store. This year New Year's Day was cold and snowy, so we decided to wait a bit so it wouldn't be as crazy.

Marina decided to bring Kailey along. It was a beautiful day and they wore matching dresses. When we arrived at the store this afternoon, it was pretty busy in the store, but not packed. We enjoyed looking over Isabelle's collection - she has some very pretty clothes for girls to match their dolls. Marina was also happy to pose with the cut out they had as well.

As always, Marina loved looking around the store. She always finds plenty of things she likes.

After we left the American Girl store, we went into the mall to check out the Disney Store. I was surprised to see that all Frozen Elsa costumes are completely sold out. I was so grateful we bought Marina's costume when we did!

We ate lunch in the food court and looked in the Lego store before heading home. I'm sure we'll be back many times this year!
