Caroline is Here!!

      Well, she's finally here!  Her hair is stunning, just stunning.  And her whole collection is just incredible, but I just chose a couple of my favorite items of her collection to discuss.

      This dress is soooo pretty!  Purple looks so good on her.  I love every design, detail, and color!  I know girls her age had to wear dresses that short, but I still wish her dress would go to the floor.

      My favorite part of the whole outfit is the headband made of braided hair.  It's so cool!  This is definitely what I'm getting for Christmas!:)

      Her parlor set is amazing.  It's so detailed.  I could never afford it, though.:(  It's seems very well made, but $300 is a lot of money!  The window box is my favorite part.

      This coat is so cute!!!  The color is very unique; however, it looks perfect with the grey.

      Reindeer ears!!!!   Love them!  Again, just such a cute outfit!

      I would also enjoy getting this.  The miniature gingerbread house is adorable!  And the sprinkles, candy canes, and other candies are just eaten up with cuteness!

     This dress is so classy and beautiful.  The bodice design is gorgeous!!

     Also, stay tuned for an interview with Kathleen Ernst, author of Caroline Abbott's book series.

Marie-Grace and the Orphans Review

     My friend from Jess' Mix of Doll Pics gave a bookstore gift card, so I bought Marie-Grace and the Orphans and Marie-Grace Makes a Difference. So here's my Marie-Grace and the Orphans review.

     (summary from AG)Marie-Grace can't believe what she finds on her doorstep one rainy night- a baby!  More than anything, Marie-Grace hopes her father will let the little boy stay with them.  But when a slave catcher comes looking for him, Marie-Grace realizes the baby is in terrible danger.  Together, she and her friend Cecile come up with a way to keep the child safe.  Just when Marie-Grace thinks their plan will, work, rumors of a deadly fever begin to swirl through New Orleans.  Soon Marie-Grace wonders of anyone will be safe.

     Overall this was an incredible book!  The story kept moving and it was just perfectly descriptive.  Sometimes books are a little overly descriptive to the point where I lose interest, but this book was again, perfect.  My only flaw was the little white-lies Marie-Grace and her father say.  Marie-Grace's father lies to the slave trader to help the baby; however, it doesn't excuse it.  It's still in the book and sets an example for the readers.  But, other than that, I would totally recommend it.

Praline

      Kaeden from Kute Kacie gave me the oh-so-cute Praline for Christmas! 

       She has soft gray fur, beautiful silver eyes, and a poseable tale.  I found the tale to be sorta of loosely connected to her.

     I'm very happy to have her!  I would highly recommend Praline to anyone who loves the AG pets.  Would be a great buy.  Thank you Kaeden!  Come back tomorrow to see the next AG Christmas gift I review.

The Cozy Sweater Outfit!!

     Every day, I am going to post a review of what AG stuff I got for Chrismtas.  So for my first review, here is the Cozy Sweater Outfit!!

      I absolutely love this! It looks like something any girl would wear. American Girl did extremely well on this outfit, because, I have to say, they do miss sometimes on their clothing.

      The headband is a hot pink elastic band that pulls over your dolls head.  I prefer this type way better than the one Emily Bennet comes with.  Her headband is really stiff and hard to make look right on her.

      The sweater dress is so cute!!!  It's so realistic!  I also really like how the headband is hot pink, the sweater dress is a milder pink, and the boots are a pink-purple color.

      The leggings are kind of a blue-grey color.

      What can I say about these boots?  They are adorable!!  I love the buttons on  the side, the color, and the style, but They are way to snug at the top. You can hardly put them over the leggings!!

They are still totatlly worth it, though.:)  I really tht the bottom was weird. I twas kind of a soft plasticy bottom.

     Overall, it was a really cute outfit, I'm glad I have it. Worth your money to get!:D Stay tuned for my next AG Christmas gift review.

Merry Christmas!!!!:D

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

Luke 2:14

     Merry Christmas!  I know it's early, but I want to wish you all a merry Christmas just in case I don't get to tommorrow.  I have already been given the American Girl pet Praline, the AG birthstone earings, and and one American Girl outfit.  I'll post pictures maybe tommorrow.  Please tell me what you all get tommorrow!!:D  Just remember that Christmas is about Christ.  If it were not for Jesus' birth, we wouldn't have Christmas, and if Jesus hadn't been born, He wouldn't have died for our sins.  Please keep that in mind  and remember to thank Him for all you get tommorrow.  Merry Christmas

     "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord."
