Two weeks ago Ellie got to fly here all by herself for her 8th birthday trip. My parents are way over the top and fly all of their grandkids out to visit them for a long weekend when they turn 8, and then again when they turn 12. Brad and I are lucky enough to live close by, so we get to join in all the fun! On Friday, I took off from work a few hours early and we had a girls day. We drove up to LA so Ellie could go to the American Girl Doll Store (one of only 3 in the whole country!) and be truly spoiled. On the drive up we realized that all 4 of us (Kandy, Rebecca, Ellie, and Elizabeth) have the same middle name. So, thus the "Kaye Club" was born! ;)
Not only was Ellie fortunate enough to get to go to the American Girl Doll Store, but she was so spoiled we even got to eat at the cafe there! They have special seats for the dolls to sit in and everything there is soooo cute! Any girl's dream come true!

Not Libby's best shot, but she enjoyed the girls' day, too!
After dining at the cafe and spending lots of time at the store, we cruised around the Grove a bit longer and enjoyed the fountain and other shops there.
We finished out our girls' day on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Ellie had never been (nor had Libby), so it was fun to show some first-timers around, crazies and all!
A once in a lifetime experience. I bet Brad was glad he missed out on that one. :0) We made Jason do it all!
