A New Member To My American Girl Doll Family??? A Farewell To Lea Clark GOTY 2016 :(

I would like to welcome the newest member of my American Girl doll collection.... Lea Clark GOTY 2016.  Lea's features include: long wavy caramel hair, hazel eyes, light skin, feathered eyebrows and she has the Josephina face mold.  Lea loves animals. My Lea has a sea turtle and a cute little puppy!  Lea also loves to swim and do gymnastics.  Lea's favorite colors are purple and lime green.  If you see Lea walking down the street, you would see her wearing a purple and green outfit or a wacky but beautiful beach dress.  Lea does have a BSTTEOT (Best Sister Till The End Of Time)!  It is... Kanani Akina!  The 2 of them get a long so well because they both love animals as both of their stories take place on an island / tropical destination ( Lea's stories takes place in Brazil and Kanani's takes place in Hawaii).  Best of all - they just love spending time together!  All this talk about Lea makes me realize that I am going to miss her collection so much when she retires at 11:59pm today😢

Lea's collection was one of the best collections out of the AG doll GOTY's.  My favorite furniture item of her collection was the Rainforest House (a mini house for your doll - what could be better).  It had a cozy bed to sleep in, a little hammock to chill in, a shower to get washed off, a stove to make amazing foods and a table for her to eat all the delicious Brazilian foods that she had cooked or eat raw from the gardens.  My favorite outfit would have to be Lea's beach dress because it was a good outfit to go to the beach in, chill in or even venture off to the market or shop.  My favorite pet was... the SEA TURTLE because it is just so cute and tiny!  I fell in love with the turtle as soon as layed eyes on it...it was actually the first Lea item I purchased! 

We will all miss you Lea (but if you have the doll at home you can still enjoy playing with her) but we can't be so gloomy because Gabriella McBride is coming out!  AHHHHH!!  Gabriella will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, January 1st 2017.  Happy New Year AG fans!

Will you be purchasing Gabriella?
