I spent a glorious day with my 8 year old niece yesterday. We went to Manhattan to the American Girl Doll store - just the two of us. My niece is one of the best people I know.
We had her doll's hair done, had her picture taken and put on the cover of the magazine and then had dinner, complete with a seat and table setting for the doll.
It was such fun! The best moment was when the waitress came over and said, is this your mom? My niece said, no its my aunt - who's my best friend. The waitress said, oh, you are very lucky to have an aunt like this. My niece said, I am the luckiest girl in the world. Oh she melts my heart!
