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! :)

Doll Wristlet

Yes, it's the same one I gave away in my Thanksgiving Contest and the same picture too! LOL ;)

I also got AG Bubble Stickers!

I had a great Christmas! I hope you all did as well! I am so happy and thankful to have gotten all of my nice American Girl gifts!

What did you get for Christmas?

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!

Happy New Year and Vacation Time!!

Hello!! I just wanted to let everyone know that me and Catherine will be leaving on vacation to our Grandparents house, and we will be back Sunday. We most likely will not be able to make any posts will we are at their house.
But before we leave we wanted to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Also could you leave comments saying if you are watching the ball drop on New Years Eve.

Happy New Year!!

This is a picture of what Times Square looks like when it is the New Year!

Are you going to watch the ball drop on TV or at Times Square on New Years Eve?

OMG!! NEW KANANI PICTURES! HER STUFF IS SO COOL!!

On I love American Girl's blog I saw she posted some pics of Kanani I thought I would post our opinion on them. I am so outraged that AG is highering their prices to $100 a doll!! AG is going way to far!!! I love that they are having special events for the 25th anniversary!! They are going to come out with special mini dolls every two months, release special edition dvds, and they will be offering a cruise!! OMG!! This is so cool! I am still really mad that ag is highering their prices, soon I won't even be able to afford them if they just keep getting higher!!
On the good note Kanani is so cool and her stuff is amazing!!
Here are the pics:

I can't believe she has hazel/green eyes everyone thought her eyes would be
brown colored. I love her necklace!

Her hair is gourgeous! I love the shirt!

You can buy a seal for $18 and the money goes
to World Wildlife Fund. Cool!!

That would be so cool to go!

OMG! I want the Samantha one and Catherine wants the
Felicity one!!

OMG! I love that outfit on the left side!!

Her pajamas are so cute!!

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?

Yay!! My mom ordered AG stuff with our Christmas money!!

Today my mom ordered something from Ebay of American Girl with my leftover Christmas money (me Julie)

I am so excited about it because I have always wanted this outfit!!!

And the outfit is.... KIT'S SCHOOL OUTFIT!!

I am so excited!!



This is Kit's School Outfit!! I love it!!

I (Catherine) was able to order Kaya's Dance Dress of Today with extra Christmas money!  Although Kaya's Dance Dress of Today sold out online and in the catalogs, my mom called the American Girl Place's number which is (877) 247-5223, pushed 1 to connect with the American Girl Place's, then pushed another number to connect with buying of merchandise. She was connected to an associate and simply asked "Hello. I was wondering if I could possibly order Kaya's Dance dress of Today through an American Girl store if it is availble. It sold out online, but I just thought I would check to see if it is available in any of the stores". The lady said it was available at the some of the American Girl Places(not the botique and bistros), and then my mom ordered it from the American Girl Place in New York City. So if you were planning on ordering this outfit or something that recently sold out, you might want to call that number and ask them if they have the dress or just something you wanted that sold out recently. It is defenately worth a try and it would be worth it when it came!
I am so excited that the outfit was actually available! Kaya only has two outfits, and I got one for Christmas and one sold out! So I just had to spend the money and get it for Kaya!! Thanks so much!
(also sorry this post is so long, I just had to let you know about this!)
