"American Girl" Tea and Fashion Show

 Brooklyn has loved American Girl dolls for years...she is a history buff and enjoys the historical significance of each doll...her favorites are Kit, Kaya, Caroline, and Marie Grace.  Missy had told Eden about a casting call for models for the fashion show...Bellamie fit the size requirements, and was chosen to walk the runway! So, Brooklyn, Eden and I were in the audience watching, while Bellamie was doing her star turn on the catwalk.  When she got to the end of the runway, she paused, and paused and paused...finally made the turn to walk back.  When she got back to the front, she had to stand and wait for the other girls in her group...she noticed that her doll had lost her slipper...so she kicked up the doll's leg, mouthed, "She lost her slipper," kept waving the doll's leg and got everyone laughing, including the narrator!  She is in dark purple behind the girl in lavender...this was the parade of models at the end...we weren't allowed to take photos during the show. 
 Well, when the show was over, there was a raffle drawing for the grand prize...the winner was...Eden!
 She won the Caroline doll, the canopy bed with mattress and coverlet, a doll nightgown, and the book...fabulous!
Here are the happy girls with the prize...hmmm, how to divvy up the loot?...Eden said they fought all the way home...I guess she needed to win 2 grand prizes!  OH, "Why did you stay so long at the end of the runway Bells?" Eden asked.  Bellamie replied, "I counted to 20."  OK then.
