Well, guys, I'm working on a new stop-motion with my sister's Julie doll. With her birthday tomorrow and mine on Thursday, I'm really excited to open presents. I have a feeling I'm getting a doll and my sister might be, too. Thing is, I don't really want much for my b-day, except for a movie and a bunch of American girl stuff, but my parents say it's too expensive. I won't be mad if I don't get a doll, though. I know it sounds greedy to expect a doll for my birthday, but I actually sort of expect NOT to get one. I'm not greedy. Greedy people take holidays and occasions for granted, like a chance to get everything they want no matter how much it costs. They want everything that looks like they'd use it when, in reality, they know they rarely will. I vaguely remember a spoiled little greedy girl I saw at Toys R Us once, who wanted every you she walked by, and most of the things she wanted, her mom let her get. Her mom kept saying "Your birthday is in 2 weeks, you don't need this now" but she let her get everything she wanted in that aisle. This girl was about 7, maybe 8. I'm not like that. I spend my own money on things I don't really need. Anyway, Melina, Addy, and Kirsten haven't sold yet, so I'm not expecting them to sell anytime soon. Well, my birthday is almost 2 days away. My sister's is tomorrow. If I don't get a doll, I'll probably delete all of these posts. But I'm not sure. Even if I don't, it doesn't matter. My parents are really good gift-givers!!!! Update you later :) -Abby

Well, guys, my birthday is in a week (April 5), but I don't know what I want present-wise. I really want a bunch of AG stuff but my parents say it's too expensive. I really want Ivy or Marie-Grace, but I'm not quite sure which one, or if I'll even get one. I also want McKenna's School Outfit because IT IS ADORABLE!!!!! So are her PJs, but I'll get those later, if I really need to, because I already have more than enough pajamas for my dolls. I really want to reach 10 dolls, not including Maddie, who isn't a real AG, just an 18 inch doll. If I get one for my b-day, I'd have 9 total (w/out Maddie). I almost got Kanani's collection for just $150 off of Craigslist, but someone bought it right out from under me! It came with [I believe] all of her outfits, her paddleboard set, Kanani (the doll), and her accessories. I might get her this summer, though. Late July, probably, from the AG sale in Madison, WI. I also want to get a couple of My American Girl/Just Like You dolls from the sale, but I might move even further away from Wisconsin, so I might not be able to go :( But I'm counting on my mom to drive me there for the weekend of the sale. Fingers crossed!

McKenna Review
I got McKenna Brooks (left) last month and I was surprisingly pleased. At first, I thought she looked like my doll, Allison (#39) and I didn't want her. Then I saw how different they were and decided to get her. 3 days later, McKenna was at my doorstep. I have a video of me opening her on my channel. McKenna comes with an ADORABLE striped dress and cute purple leggings.(above)
Her shoes are a little hard to get on but are totally worth it. Her underwear are like all the others, but I like that even they have the "McKenna" symbol on it. Her mini scrunchie is really cute at first, but it stretches out right away. McKenna's eyes are beautiful and her hair is as well. I love that it doesn't have a part so you can style it any way you want.
Overall, I recommend her for sure.
Her fancy outfit is cute, but not the most appealing outfit I've seen. Cute, but not worth 30 dollars.
Cooper, her dog (below) looks very cute, but not worth his price of $24. I like that he has a bendable/poseable body, but it'd be better if his leash came off.4
Her accessories (above) are cute, but $26 for some papers, a necklace, and a bag is crazy!!!!!! That's one thing I'm NOT getting for sure!!!
Her pajamas (above) I may consider. They're absolutely adorable. I love the baseball-style tee. The pants are very cute as well. The slippers could be better, but they're cute. They remind me a lot of Jess's slippers for 2006. I believe the scrunchies are the same as the one she comes with, which I think is pointless to have 3 of the same one.
The bed (above)-ADORABLE-CRAZY PRICE!!!!! $225????? FOR A PLASTIC BED AND SOME PRETEND BOOKS?????? I don't know who would have money to blow on a $225 bed for a doll. The crazy thing is that it's backordered until next month. . .
Her practice wardrobe (left) is adorable!!!!!!! It's backordered though, so I don't know if I'll get it. I hate the fact that she only has one gymnastics outfit and she's a gymnastics doll. I liked how dolls like Mia had a couple outfits and multiple ones for ice skating. McKenna has one gymastics outfit, but few people can get it because it's always backordered.
Her crutches (below)are PLASTIC!!!! The regular ones are metal and the set is the same price ($30) and comes with a lot more. As Basilmentos said, "You could buy food for 10 people in a homeless shelter or buy some plastic crutches for your doll." The cast, however, looks cute, with all the signatures.
Overall, McKenna's collection is cute, yet extremely overpriced. I'm considering her school outfit, pajamas, and maybe practice wardrobe.

Well, I don't know for sure, but Melina, Addy, and Kirsten might be leaving. My mom has them on a couple of websites for sale and is waiting for someone to buy them. We are hoping for them to be purchased soon because they are sitting in the middle of our dining room floor. So they are no longer mine!!!!!! -AllMyAGs4500
