American Girl

With the rough start to the soccer season, we weren't sure how to get Sophia to finish all ten weeks of it.
Then we went to a place that many parents go (whether they like to admit it or not)...
Bribery.

There was a new American Girl store being built in Houston.
We made a deal with the girls that if they practiced hard each week and played hard during the games without quitting or giving up, we would take them to AG at the end of the season.
I am pleased to say, the bribery worked like a charm.
So as promised, here we are...

Joe and I simply promised them a new outfit for their existing dolls.

Papa and Grandma treated them to an even greater treat...

New dolls...

As an extra bonus, we all ate at the American Girl Bistro...

I wanted to make this a day just focused on my two girls before our new little girl is added to the Murphy mix.
They were delighted with everything.
It was just what they needed and just what I wanted to give them.
