We Were Nominated!

Hi, everybody!
   In the world of blogging, there are several awards that bloggers can nominate each other for. Someone tells you in your comments that they've nominated you for an award, then you get to post it on your blog and answer some questions (like an interview).
   We were nominated by a girl named Emma for the New Blogger Award! She owns a blog called Whiskers and Wildflowers. The interview questions that she asked were meant for our mom to answer, so we will let our mom do that part.

Here is the award! 

                                        

And here is the little interview.

1) How many American Girl dolls do you own?

   I own three: Kirsten, Sylvia (My American Girl #55), and Saige. I also have a Bitty Baby, if that counts.

2) Who was the first doll that you added to your collection?

   My first AG doll was my Bitty Baby, whom I received from my grandparents when I was five years old. I call her "Bitty" for short.

3) What made you decide to start your blog?

   Actually, Kirsten and Sylvia started this blog. They thought it would be a good way to practice their writing skills, and besides, blogging is simply a lot of fun!

4) Who is your favorite doll and why?

   I don't have a favorite. Why? Because I am their mother. :) 

Well, that's all for the interview. Thank you again, Emma, for nominating us!

New Arrival

You will never guess what happened!

   About two weeks ago, Kirsten started to act funny. So did Mom. It was like they knew something that I didn't, and they were trying not to burst.

   Well, when there's a secret brewing around here, I can't rest until I find out what it is! Usually, I can wheedle anything I want to out of Kirsten, but this time, it didn't work. I wheedled and wheedled, but she just kept smiling silently and wouldn't say a word. Arrg! What was going on?

   Well, last week, around evening, I was reading the Return of the King, my favorite Lord of the Rings book. Suddenly the doorbell rang. I was at an exciting part of my book and didn't want to get up, so Mom and Kirsten opened the door.

   I looked over to see what it was... and it was my cousin, Saige, who I hadn't seen in years!

   "Saige!" I yelled, almost knocking her over with a hug.

   "Hi, Sylvia!" she said, grinning like crazy. "Hi, Kirsten!"

   "So this was your big secret," I said to my sister. "Saige coming to visit."

   "Actually," my cousin corrected, "I'm coming to live here!"

   So, now we have a third sister in our house! We are going to let Saige write stuff in our blog, but keep the name the same, because only two dolls started this blog originally, not three. Anyway, Saige doesn't like to write very much... she likes to paint, and paint, and paint! And ride horses. You can find out more about her on the "About Us" page.

   Stay tuned for some long photo shoots of Saige!

Photo Shoot With Sylvia

This morning, Mom was in the mood for taking pictures. Sylvia was looking so photogenic in her beautiful white nightgown, that Mom thought she would be perfect!

   After much persuading, I got Sylvia to agree on having this morning's photos posted (she is very humble, despite her wild and spunky nature).

   Enjoy!

Have a wonderful day!

Frosty Fair Isle Set Review

As you know, I received the  AG Frosty Fair Isle set as a Christmas gift from Kirsten. I love it, and thought that I'd write a review for it here!

First, there was this lovely blue sweater that is amazingly soft and warm.

Here is closer picture of the sweater's detailed design.

Next came these stretchy, dark gray/purple pants.

Here are the fleecy boots! They are lavender colored and pull on easily.

They have these adorable, dangling appliques with snowflakes embroidered on them.

Lastly, the headband! 

It is a slightly pinker lavender than the boots, and made of a knitted material.

                             

                             

I am so happy with this set! I would totally recommend buying it.

   And it is now my favorite outfit to wear in the wintertime. Thank you, Kirsten, for giving it to me!
