"Straw-ba-ba-ba-berry!"

Could she be more excited?!?
Our new found love for Strawberry Shortcake, really happened when we visited the Connolly's back in January. Julia (one year older than Anna Claire) had several dolls and a DVD that Anna Claire adored. Now we are over the top for the movies, dolls, books, etc. I have already joined in her excitement by buying a couple of dolls, DVD's and books. Well this week, we hit the jackpot! I work with some wonderful ladies, many of whom have young children. The librarian has a daughter who is five and has decided it is no longer cool to play with Strawberry Shortcake. So...she passed her dolls and books on to Anna Claire! I thought it would be a couple of the long haired dolls, that honestly don't resemble the DVD's or books, but NO! Dolls that are no longer for sale that look just like the books and movies. Anna Claire's eyes were twinkling with excitement and her imagination instantly ran wild when she saw the tub full of the characters she has grown to love. Now all she needs is JuJu here to play with her! :)

Wow! How fun! We have SEARCHED for a Huck Pie and Apple Dumplin. :) Julia would NOT let me read the Easter entry...she kept saying, "GO BACK! Turn Back!" She wanted to name EVERY doll...and to tell me that Anna Claire has a CLOCK too! hahaha! Have fun times ahead...That looks EXACTLY like how we were with Jack and the Rescue Heroes...it WAS over the top! ha! Fun fun times!
