I received many awesome presents like Felicity's Tea Lesson Gown and I will definitely do a post about them soon!

News about Kanani!

Hi everyone! :)

I have heard some exciting news about Kanani, Girl of the Year 2011!!! :) Here is what I found out!!

The two book titles are: Aloha Kanani and Good Job, Kanani. Both of them are by Lisa Yee.

There are also a few other new books as well! Oodles of Ocean Fun and Lend a Hand.

You can see pictures of the books on the Amazon site!

I think Kanani is so gorgeous! She has brown curly hair and her meet outfit is a cute blue dress! There is also a snow cone making set, a dog, a chair set, girl & doll pajamas, swimming gear, and more in her collection!!! You can see pictures of these new items by clicking this link:

Her accessories remind me of Kailey's (a previous GOTY doll) accessories.

So, what do YOU think of Kanani? Are you going to get her when she comes out?

P.S. My Guess the Doll Game is still open to anyone that wants to participate! ;)

Guess the Doll Game!

Hi everyone!!!

I'm so very excited because I am on Christmas Vacation!!!!!!! :) And..... I'm getting a NEW American Girl doll!!!!! She was ordered this morning! So I decided to have a little game on my blog!

The Doll Guessing Game:

 Your job is to guess which doll it is! :)

If you guess correctly, I will send you an award for your blog! :) You will receive your award after the game is over. You may put your guess in a comment or email it to me @ agfan2010@aol.com.

The name of the doll will be revealed on the day that she comes, along with pictures!

Hint:

*The name of the doll has been mentioned in more than one post on my blog.*

If you read my blog a lot, this is probably a very easy and correct guess for you. ;) But it might not be and don't worry if your guess isn't right. This is just for fun! :)

Hope you can participate! :)

Winter Wonderland

Hi everyone!!! :)

As I write this, it is snowing!!!!!

I am very happy and excited because I got out of school two hours early today due to all the snow!!!!! I'm also excited because Christmas break starts tommorow after our school Christmas party! I get more than two weeks off!!! :)

It looks so beautiful outside!!! :)

Notice my footprints... haha

Look at all the snow. :)

I love snow!! It's been snowing since this morning and it's not stopping until later tonight! We could get four inches, maybe even more!!! :D

Have you gotten any snow yet? How much did you get so far?

Only 9 more days until Christmas! Woo hoo!!

Christmas Lights!

Hi everyone! :)

I just love the month of December! It is a month full of joy, happiness, family, fun, Christmas music, snow, Christmas, and the end of a year! I look forward to Christmas every year, especially during the four weeks of Advent leading up to it! We have many different traditions around Christmas time like decorating with... lights! :) Last weekend we put up our Christmas tree! We also put our lighted wreaths up outside! I took some pictures of Rebecca in front of the Christmas tree and some others too!

My favorite. :)

I love the lights. :)

Of course we still have to put the ornaments and other decorations up too! But we still have time for that.

How did you like my photography this time? Did you decorate at all for the holidays? Do your dolls like Christmas?

Only 21 more days until Christmas!

MIRANDA!!! Congratulations, Miranda!!! You won the blue holiday wristlet for dolls! I can tell you took a lot of time getting your picture ready. The table was beautifully set to look like a Thanksgiving table and the dolls were all posed in a very realistic way! I especially like how you made the dolls hold their little cups. I also really like the angle you took the picture from. The lighting was perfect for the picture and the candles and leaves gave it a really cool effect as well! You even had a nice tablecloth and napkins! :) Well done, Miranda! Congratulations again! :) I sent you an email about getting your prize to you. Here is your blog award:
