heavy hearts

Our house is full of sadness right now. Kiddo's grandmother, Mimi's mother, our dear Janet passed away Tuesday night after battling several ailments for the better part of last year. She went quietly in the hospital with her husband, son, and her two older granddaughters by her side.

Rest in peace, Dear Janet. You made the world a better place.

So I suggested we watch Miracle on 34th Street which we did during Thanksgiving weekend and she was starry eyed. We wanted to help restore her faith in Christmas at least for one more year.  Enter: American Girl Doll Now, here is where the magic collides with reality. Yuki first  encountered  American Girl Doll in kindergarten when a few of her friends talked about theirs. When she first mentioned it I had a physical reaction to almost vomit. It was one of those "Disney Princess," "Barbie," and other things that the girls are supposed to get interested in that I dreaded. I don't have any problems with the...
