Snuggling my Blankies

Hey Everybody!  Ellen Here!

Mama has some pretty crazy rules, but the craziest of them is that blankets must stay in our bedroom.  I love my blankies, I could take them with me every single place I go.  If I could make clothes out of my blankies I would.  But they must stay in my room.

The other day I really wanted to play with my blankets but as usual, Mama said no.  So I came up with a plan.

Sissy got this cute backpack for her American Girl doll for Christmas and I really like it.  Mama realized that I was playing with it more than normal, but she didn't think much of it until bedtime when my blankets were missing from my bed.  Mama asked me where my blankets were, and that is when I showed her where I had stashed them, inside Sissy's backpack.  Mama told Daddy that I was smuggling blankets, I think she meant to say snuggling.  Silly Mama!

Off to bed.  I need to snuggle with my blankets.

Girls Day!

For New Year's Eve we decided to head up to the Mall Of America for a girls day!!

We met Auntie Heidi, Auntie Wendy, and Grandma Nancy.  We were headed to the American Girl store, so of course Isabel and Josie came along too.  Auntie Wendy had a coupon for me to get my doll's hair done, it was really fun getting to pick out a new style for her.

 I really love the American Girl Bistro, there is so much PINK!

And it is so fun getting to eat with our dolls at the dinner table.

Ellen really liked getting to play with the little doll cup and plate, she liked it so much that she refused to eat her lunch.

Not me!  I knew there would be dessert at the end if we ate well, and it was delicious!  I got to decorate a big cupcake for me, and a mini cupcake for Isabel.  I let Grandma Nancy help too.  

After lunch was over we headed our separate ways to do some shopping before heading home.

We had a great day, I love getting to hang out with everybody.  Hopefully we can do it again soon!
