Winter Break Part 2 - MOA & Olivia gets her American Girl Doll

Today we went to the Mall of America (MOA), to buy Olivia her American Girl Doll (AGD).  She has been saving up for it for a while now.  She and Isaac counted her money this morning then we headed to the MOA.   She has just enough $103!

We stopped off at the Nickelodeon Store to get some tickets to ride a ride.  Isaac rode a roller-coaster by himself for the first time (The Orange Crush) and Olivia rode a big roller coaster with Dad(the Fairly Odd Coaster).  They both had a great time. 

Then it was off to the AGD store.  This was quite an "experience" for all!  The store is a bit indescribable if you have not been there.  You can chose a doll "like" you or one from a historical period in time.  Olivia wanted to choose one of the girls from a historical period.  She picked Rebbecca.  She comes with a book which is a story about her life.  We have been reading it at bed time and we did not know at the time Olivia picked her that she was a Jewish girl from New York with the last name "Rubin".   She was really excited to pay for her with her own money.

She some more pictures from our day at MOA here.
