Day 359

Merry Christmas, everyone!!! I had SUCH a hard time choosing which photo to pick for the photo of the day today but I think this one really conveys the wonder and magic that was brought to Anna today by Santa. For you see... he brought her the most coveted possession that she has been obsessing on for months... a baby reborn doll.

What is a baby reborn? It is an incredible detailed sculpt of a realistic looking baby which is hand-painted, filled with heavy tiny glass pellets to make it about the weight of a newborn, then mohair is micro-rooted one to two strands at a time to look and feel like real hair. Baby reborn dolls are collector's items and are incredibly beautiful. Anna discovered them a few months ago and fell in love. (You know about George and Audrey, right??? This girl LOVES her baby dolls!)

Santa brought her baby Zachary. Born on March 25th, weighing 4 pounds, 4 ounces, Zachary is 18 inches long and came with a magnetic pacifier and bottles of milk, formula, and apple juice. Anna has been entranced all day. So have we.

We will share many more photos tomorrow but I had to share this one of the new mommy. She has not let him go all day. He really is beautiful!!!



Thanks for looking!
