The last day we spent in New York was Mothers Day. I am so thankful for my mom and for the fact that I could spend that day with her and my sister. We woke up to find that it was really cold in the city, but we decided to go out for breakfast, stop by Rockerfeller Plaza for a few pictures (it was really close to our hotel), and go to the American Girl store!
I remember for my 8th birthday I got the Samantha Doll from American Girl. I LOVED Samantha, and I loved all the American Girl Books (which at that time was only Kirstin, Samantha, and Molly).
Now? There are about 23283 different American Girl Dolls and books. It's a little crazy, but super fun! The store is incredible too! There is even a hair salon for the dolls- are you kidding!? I have been to the Chicago store once, but it was before I had Jordan... seeing it through the eyes of a mother is a little different :) I was so excited to buy her first American Girl that day. There is a Bitty Baby Collection, where you can basically pick out a doll that looks like your child (there are boy dolls too:). And I found one that looks JUST like her.....
Do you agree? :) She named her doll "Baby Jor" then later in the day she changed it to "Baby Claire" (her best friend). And keeps going back and forth. Too sweet!
Anyway, back to New York.... So after American Girl we went back to the hotel BUT i HAD to stop by Crumbs Bakery, which was right next door. We had Magnolia Cupcakes the day before, and I was determined to make an official decision on which cupcake I liked the best...
Heaven, isn't it??? Just the smells and sights are enough to make any girl deliriously happy. Until...
Wait a minute. What is that?? WHAT is that?
Is that what I think it is?
Um.....OH NO they didn't. Surely that isn't the CALORIE CONTENT?? I mean, what insane cupcake would be 500 calories? If you look closely you will see a 490 and a 430 and even 560... and that's not the price we are talking here. you have got to be kidding me. I came all the way to new york to find out how fat their cupcakes will make me? Yes , i know, it's a new NY thing to put the calories on to the menus, but i SWEAR i didn't see it anywhere else the whole weekend we were there... only at Crumbs! Talk about a major kill-joy.
So I ordered a boring 330 Classic Vanilla.
But it was good. Really good.
But if I had to choose between Magnolia and Crumbs... hmmmm Crumbs wins on taste.... but at least i didn't feel SO guilty after leaving Magnolia!!!!

Oh dear. Cupcake heaven is a real place? :)
She is so cute and that doll REALLY looks like her! How funny!
Oh, and I hate the calorie counts, too--if I wanted to be healthy, I would not be a cupcake store for goodness' sakes!
Yeah, they didn't have American Girl dolls when I was little. Cabbage Patch dolls were all the rage. Suddenly I realize just how old I am. It feels kind of like looking at the calories on a cupcake ;)
