My doll collection



That is I should say "our" American Girl doll collection. My 2 girls and I have collected them for about 15 years. There were many Christmases when American Girl was on the top of the list. We still go to the store in Chicago every Christmas to see the windows and the displays. It is really great fun! Chelsea and Isabel decided to get all of the "girls" dressed for Christmas the other day,(click the picture for a close-up) and this picture is the result. A very fun afternoon!
