You’re gonna love this.
So, Auntie Kim and Auntie Rhi gifted their nieces some of their old American Girl outfits (as they had previously done with their dolls). My instructions were to let the girls open them before Christmas so they could pretend they were fancy Christmas outfits. There was a nice dress set, a coat and hat, and shoes for each of the dolls. They were nicely wrapped in fancy schmancy American Girl garments bags and hung on hangers. I believe it was Auntie Rhi’s idea that I use them for part of my Family Advent Calendar.
Well, the girls opened them last night, after getting in late from a weekend with their Dad. We still owe Auntie Kim and Auntie Rhi a phone call, but I had to share this photo:
Apparently Felicity is a beaten woman who has escaped the clutches of some horrible, horrible person – naked, save for her expensive coat? (Hey! She’s YA-YA!) And Kit is playing her well-to-do benefactress who has rescued her. Clearly that is the only explanation. Ahem.
The girls say “Thank you!” for the presents, sisters o’ mine, and I say thank you for all the quiet time and lovely, imaginative stories I hear acted out!

I feel like Sally & My Buddy’s social worker would approve this storyline.

it could be worse. THEY couldve dressed up like this rather than dressing their dolls like this =0]
