Christmas for Caroline...the 2nd!

Last year I wrote a post titled Christmas for Caroline, so I had to title this year's post "the 2nd"!  :)

Well, we just had to get Caroline Faith a Christmas gift this year.  I knew I wanted to get her a Corolle baby doll, but I just wasn't sure which one.  After lots of searching online and in stores, I finally decided on this sweet one...

Yay!! The teens!!! That is a wonderful early Christmas gift :)

Love the doll and totally agree that you should get her a gift. Just because she's not at home doesn't mean she isn't in your heart.
