<p>Only one of my Ds was into the American Girl dolls. She had Molly and every accessory that was available. One corner of her room here (she no longer lives at home) is still set up with Molly and all her ‘stuff’. She refuses to pack it away! I have to admit that when I’m in NYC, the American Girl store is one of my favorite places to visit. I can’t wait for granddaughters. :)</p>
<p>For Christmas this year, we’ll probably spend a similar amount to last year. The difference will be the split between gifts for family/friends and the amount that we give to charity. Every year since our girls were very young, we’ve ‘adopted’ a family and purchased gifts and food for their Christmas. This tradition will continue and we’ve also chose two other charities to contribute to this year for the Christmas season.</p>
