Christmas Mittens, Shopping, and Hot Tea...

The girls are excited about their Christmas outing to town. They get to look after all the last minute shopping for all the dollies here in Dolltown. And they have been collecting mittens for the Mitten Tree, where scarves, hats and mittens are collected for all those who are chilly at Christmas, and don't have enough winter clothes. So between the food for the Foodbank (thanks Scout and, uhh, Badger) and all the mittens knitted by the old gramma dolls like Terri Lee and Queeny, the dolls have...

Scout recruits Brian...I mean Badger

First! Scout is missing Lula. They had a plan to gather food from the kitchen and drop it off at the Foodbank before Christmas.

Dickens gets a change of clothes...

This new Robin Woods boy, Dickens, is ready for a change, much as he loved his green velvet, purple ruffled outfit. We found him a brown pair of trousers, a button up shirt, and he agreed to switch shoes with Will... But he's still vacillating about cutting his hair. What do you think?
