This past week Madelyn's nine year birthday gift
finally arrived. This poor doll languished in the Shanghai customs office for more than three weeks before she finally made it to us! We joked that maybe the customs officers were playing with her, but she arrived in mint condition, with only the outer box having been opened. Madelyn and I were SO happy to finally have her here! We had a fun afternoon introducing Julie to Madelyn's other doll, Nellie, and dressing them and fixing their hair.
"Julie, meet Nellie."



Madelyn and Julie, both wearing two ponytails.

Back to schoolwork, with Julie and Nellie watching!

Nellie and Julie, all ready for bed!
i found these pictures to be so precious.
ReplyDeletePictures are so cute--she looks so happy :-)
ReplyDeleteM is getting to be such a tween! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet pictures of Julie and Nellie and of course the sweetest, Madelyn! What a treat to see them! Grandma
ReplyDeleteIt probably was in customs so long so they could take pictures of it and get all the details of how to make it. Looks like the market might be selling them soon:)

Welcome home, Julie!
ReplyDeleteLivie has Julie too and loves styling that long hair. Now where were these dolls when we were little?!
ReplyDeleteLove those pictures! Julie is so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteYAY! So glad she finally made it, poor Julie. She must've been exhausted! And so glad to finally come home to Nellie, and to you, Madelyn! Looks like she is making a good transition. :)
