Goodbye Lanie Holland!

Hi everyone!

This is my last post of 2010!!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by! It has been a GREAT year!

This year I got Lanie, Rebecca, AND Elizabeth!!! I thought I would do a special post about Lanie, since this is the last day she will be sold. :(

I put together a collection of photos I took of Lanie during 2010. You probably have seen some of these before.

Lanie in her cute yellow sundress I made.

Goodbye, Lanie!

I LOVE my Lanie! I am so happy and thankful to have her!

Did you get Lanie or any of her collection? Are you excited for the arrival of Kanani Akina tommorow??!?

Tonight we are going to celebrate with my family, eat food, talk, and watch the ball drop!

What are you doing for New Year's Eve?

My AG Christmas Presents!

Hi everyone!

These are the American Girl gifts I received on Christmas morning!! :)

 Felicity's Tea Lesson Gown

I LOVE the dress! :D

Detail of the dress

Cute pink shoes

Pretty Felicity

The hat

My mom told me that she was so worried she wouldn't be able to get this dress for me, that she knew I really wanted. When she called up the online American Girl Store they said they were sold out, so my mom asked if any of the stores would ship an item to her. The lady said the Chicago store would. The Chicago store still had the dress, so they sent it to my mom! :) I am very happy and thankful I was able to get this!

The Cozy Plaid Outfit

This is one of my favorite doll outfits ever! It is so cute, fashionable and stylish!

Adorable Purple Boots

Walking Coconut

Emily's Slippers for Girls

They are so comfy! :)

Elizabeth's Middle Name!

Hello everybody!! :)

I have recently been asked in comments what Elizabeth's middle name is. When you commented, I hadn't had a middle name picked out. Now, however, I DO have a middle name for her picked out! Her full name is...........................................................................................................

Elizabeth Kate Cole!

Do you like it? I think those names sound cute together!

Kanani GOTY Contest & More!

Hi everyone! :)

A few days ago, I received my January/February issue of American Girl magazine!

Guess what I found inside?

It's a Kanani Contest Ad!

In the contest, you create different Hawaiian e-cards! For every e-card you create, you get entered into the drawing to win a Kanani doll and book! You can start making e-cards on January 1st and it ends on

  April 15. 25 winners will be selected on April 30, 2011! It sounds like a really fun and neat contest! However, it says that this contest is open to girls who are between the ages of 8 and 13. So sadly, I cannot enter. :( Oh well.

Closeup of Kanani! She is really cute! I really like her long, curly hair!

I also found a whole page about Kanani in the magazine too!

In addition to the doll, book, and accessories, there will also be online games AND special events!

I'm very excited to see all of the new things come out on January 1st, including other NEW AG outfits and accessories! I am planning to read her books too! Are you excited for the arrival of Kanani and her accessories? Are you going to enter the Kanani contest? Are you planning on buying Kanani?
