I guess some of us are never too old to play with dolls.
Some of us being, uh, me.
Once every season AT LEAST we make sure to change all the dolls outfits.
Here they are modeling their "Summer 2008 Collection". We did a lot of mixing and matching.
From left to right are:
Nicki, Mia, Samantha, Emily, Julie, Nellie, Kit, Kirsten, Anna, Mei Lee and Lexi
(Now before you think we're so rich we just flit off to American Girl every other week to pick up a new doll, these are all birthday/Christmas gifts, or DD saved up her allowance and report card money to buy, etc. over the course of the past few YEARS. Also, the last four on the right are mine, the rest are DD's. Think of it this way - instead of expensive video game systems and games that become obsolete every few years, this is what we spend OUR "fun money" on. Just sayin'.)
The end.
What a lovely collection... and all dolled up... (couldn't resist cheesy I know).. But on a serious note... I think it it awesome that your DD has saved up for her collection and has invested her money on something that will last and can even be handed down.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice words. Yes, at least for the money they last forever! And it gives her good practice saving up for a goal, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super line-up!! A real Summer spectacular - plenty of thought and creativity there.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I agree about the cost but if DD is the one with active participation in getting the dolls then it will provide her with responsibility and sense of value. I try to ensure the same with my 10 year old.
That's great and it looks like so much fun that you are sharing with your daughter and it's a great way of bonding. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture! I love dolls, too!
