Jenny and Her Pretty American Girl Dolls

One thing I remember most about Jenny when she was still in her very young years is that she is very fond of dolls. You will always catch her grabbing dolls of other young girls and then would try to own them. And whenever her birthday comes, or even Christmas season is up and coming back then, all you will hear from her is that she wants dolls and nothing else.

Her parents love her so much so have given her what she wanted – dolls. On her 4th birthday, her parents gave Jenny her first ever doll, an American Girl Doll with a name of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was in a rich berry-red dress made from a brocade fabric when Jenny got her. The dress looked very nice to Jenny most especially that it was highlighted by a contrasting gold panel then on. Not to mention that there was also delicate cream-colored lace with a metallic gold detail that spilled down the bodice and trimmed the sleeves. There were also the ruby-colored faux jewels that sparkled against the lace and a cream lace cap with a berry-red ribbon which have really lighted up not only Elizabeth’s look but also Jenny’s face.

Jenny took care of Elizabeth very well and her parents have seen this so they gave her another American Girl Doll on Christmas day following her 4th birthday. They bought Samantha as a Christmas present to her. Samantha was just a perfect doll for Christmas as she was wearing then on a velveteen coat with faux trim. She was wearing as well a wide brimmed hat with matching velveteen band and black knitted mittens. She looked very gorgeous back then. Not to mention that she was also holding flowers. Jenny felt so delighted having Samantha in her hands; her second doll.

Before Jenny turned 5, her parents got some financial problems so can’t afford to give her another doll present so instead just gave her a simple birthday bash. Jenny wasn’t upset at all as Elizabeth and Samantha were already there around.

Christmas time came but still her parents was in a financial trouble so still can’t give Jenny present. But Jenny as a loving and understand kid she was, didn’t still mind not having another doll but instead just took care of her two dolls, Elizabeth and Samantha.

On her 6th birthday, she wasn’t already expecting any doll but then surprisingly on the morning of her birthday, she woke up having another doll beside her in her bed. She ran as fast as she could to her parents’ room and then thanked them by kissing them on both cheeks on and on.

Name of the doll she got on her 6th birthday was Julie. She was in a casual dress and got a doll trunk wardrobe. Julie got a bag, hairbrush, and accessories. Julie seemed like perfect for travel. Jenny was so happy back then having Julie, another addition to her pretty doll collection.

Now that Christmas time is again up and coming, then her 7th birthday follows, Jenny is still hoping to get additional pretty dolls. But if her parents can’t afford them for some reasons, for sure Jenny will understand. Most especially now that she already have pretty dolls in her care – Elizabeth, Samantha and Julie.
