For the Love of Emily....

I would not be doing my blog proud if I did not devote a post to the current love of Lucy's life (besides David). That would be her American Girl Bitty Baby Doll, Emily.
Lucy loves this girl. Over the course of the past year, Emily has risen to the top of the "doll heap" at our house, which includes well over 20 babies and dolls.
This past Christmas, Lucy's wish list included many items for Emily. Pajamas, a snow suit, outfits, a hat, crib, you get the drift. Lucy really sacrificed other gifts on behalf of Emily's comfort and style.
Needless to say, Santa and others delivered. Every morning, Emily is taken out of her crib next to Lucy's bed and put into a new jazzy outfit for the day. She puts her snowsuit and winter hat on every morning before we leave to go anywhere. She also discusses who will babysit Emily while Lucy is at school, dance, swimming, the gym, etc. And cozy jammies go back on her every night. It is a dedicated love she carries for Emily. This morning, Emily even went outside to play in the snow with us. Ridiculous!!
