In reply to lulu. I'm with the granddaughter who said, "Lulu, this is overwhelming." It certainly is!!! And I'm still thinking about all the choices, the people, and the explosion of goods related to one basic doll. But maybe I'm just jealous -- wishing I'd thought of it all! Thanks for reading!

In reply to Judy @ NewEnglandGardenAndThread. You bring up a good point, Judy, and one that I've been thinking about. This stage isn't going to last too long, so we'd better make the best of it. We both enjoy Christmas, spending money, and fighting crowds. Although that may sound counter-intuitive to what most people feel, we say it just gets us into the Christmas spirit! So glad you have fond memories of your visits to AG.

In reply to Vandy Leake. Thanks so much, Vandy. It was quite the experience, for sure. And we're still thinking about it since we saved a few surprises for an upcoming birthday rather than loading the granddaughter up all at Christmas!! Thanks for reading!

In reply to tappjeanne. Save your money. And then if stock becomes available, invest heavily! These moms are buying (and so did we)! But what fun!

Fabulous! I went to the American Girl store in Chicago and was totally overwhelmed. Can’t wait till our girls get calm enough to enjoy some of these dolls – right now Emmie drags everyone’s dolls around by their hair aka pre-historic man style. Guess I’ll wait a bit longer for the AG investment!

I took my granddaughters to American Girl and after a bit one of them lay down on the floor and said, “Lulu, this is overwhelming!”

Now you are talking my language. I think I had as much fun as my granddaughter did going through the American Girl doll phase. I’ve also been in so many of their stores, I couldn’t list them all. I would also have quite a gardening and quilting budget if I could get back all the money I left with them. 🙂 During the winter months, I would make clothes for her historical dolls (she had lots of dolls and they all had their own wardrobes). When she hit about 11-12, she lost interest. I missed seeing those dolls come for a visit and planning new outfits with her. The last year before she put them all away, I made each one of them a red holiday dress in case she ever got them out for her daughter some time down the road. The American Girl doll era is a wonderful trip for all concerned. Thank you for the great memories. 🙂
