My daughter got Chrissa for her birthday and immediately started reading the first Chrissa book. I was so impressed at how she and Chrissa bonded and that she could tell me every little detail of the book, that I decided to get her Chrissa’s warm up outfit and the second book, Chrissa Stands Strong as a reward.
The outfit and the book arrived today. The outfit looks so good with Chrissa’s blue eyes and hair color. There is the red visor that has Edgewater embroidered on it, an aqua blue tank that says Edgewater Swim Team, lightweight red hoodie jacket, white shorts and the dark gray flip flops. I am very happy with all of it, how it fits, and how it was made. I hope American Girl makes a girl size version of this outfit eventually. It looked cute on the girls in the movie, An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong – when my daughter saw they had the outfit she immediately wanted to know if there was a girl sized version.
And as far as the book goes? She has already run off to her favorite reading spot with it.

















im gonna watch the vid,brb
cool! it’s really funny! Anyhow,do you have any annoying sisters?
i only watched part of it,though cuz it froze.
Yep. Keep in mind though, their dad was an athletic trainer and he currently is a gym teacher. At 70!
Plus, I think it’s funny our last name means run.
Starr, now you can say you’ve seen CDS!
i mean the video froze.
hi,lina d u have a liitle sister? if u do,is se bad and annoying?
do you like 2 sing?
If you liked that one, this one is even more cute! The girls (there’s normally 4, but one broke her nose on the yo-yo toys (they are wooden)) These girls are 11 and 12, btw. My dad is on the far left at 4:34.
No I’m an only child.
I can sing really well, but I prefer playing violin.
I have two little sisters, so I feel for you, Priscilla, I really do. Although they have grown up a bit & haven’t crashed any parties lately (lol), I totally know how you feel.
Lol, Lena, now I can!
I really want Julie & Ivy now!!! (I was looking on AG Playthings & at the pics on the reviews). But after Sonali, ‘cuz she’s only here 4 one year…
Starr, click my name on this post and watch the other video so you can say you saw La Nouba too!
I gtg now, bye!
Oh yeah, I just watched that video too. Its cool. I could never do that thing with the ball and string. I mean they make it look soo easy, but I know in reality it is not.
It’s not a ball, it’s two canes stuck in the middle. All I can do is toss It up and make it spin.
oops… I meant two CONES stuck in the middle.
cool! starr,i think u should get samantha,julie and sonali.I share Julie with my sister,shes gorgeous! Also,her meet outfit is ADORABLE!!!!! Also,her hair is really really smooth and beautiful.
that is soooooo cool lena. you should get sonali starr. i don’t like ivy but that is my own opinion
Hi! omg, there is this video on, um, you tube I think that my grandpa showed me of the Jay Leno show at christmas time one year. Its sooooooooo amazing! This guy he plays “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” with these balls. He goes slow at first than he goes really fast! On U-tube type in, idk, “Jay Leno Christmas” and maybe you’ll find the video!
HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THE SONG “COIN OPERATED BOY” ? ITS SUPER CATCHY! IT WAS LEFT ON MY COMPUTER FROM MY UNCLE AND I STARTED LISTENING TO IT AND I REALLY LIKED IT
Oh I love that song! Coin operated boy all the other real ones that I destroy can not hold a candle to my new boy and ill never be alone…..hehe
i just got a new pink build a bear! shes my 3rd one! shes adorable!
I’m definitely getting Sonali, and I really want Julie & Ivy too. IDK though, cuz its a lot of dolls.
And while I’m sure Nellie would love it if Samantha could come, she is retired and no longer available. Even before she was retired, she never went for less than, like, 110 dollars. So, Samantha will not be coming.
i think that would be too many dolls,but of course that is just my opinion.Also,you can buy Sam on ebay,just 2 let you know! when did you buy nellie and your other dolls?
LOL, thats the one Lena!
coin operated boy, sitting on the shelf, he is just a toy, but I turn him on, and he comes to life, automatic joy, that is why I want A coin operated boy…….
Dresden Dolls right? Are they the ones that wrote that Inhaler song and the nelly the elephant song?
starr,i saw ur blog where u said about another sonali in the poll,well ivoted for it,sorry if ur mad,if u look under Chrissa’s here post on ur blog u will see my comment about it,sorry i just am obsessed with Sonali,so i kinda wanted u 2 get 2 of her! horrid me,sorry.
No, that was the Toy Dolls.

do u have any ag pets? i dont,but i really want nutmeg 4 julie,and starburst 4 sonali and chrissa(when i get them) and licorice and coconut!
No, but I want Kirsten’s cats cause they look more realistic than Ginger.
I have: Licorice (It’s SO sad they got rid of her!)
Coconut
Jess’s monkey Toshi (I think)
Marisol’s cat o gosh… o ya Rascal!
ya that’s it!! I really want Startburst! And Jip and Posie!!
Also, I just realized this, but my name is
(ya, I seem to be liking that one lately!!
seLENA and ur (Lena) name is LENA!! lol
oh sorry i forgot i do have an ag pet- jess’s monkey! im not sure what it’s name is i just call it waterfall,sorry i 4got.But,i share him with my sister.Also,wahat ag dolls Do you want?
Actually, my full name is Helena, so even funnier that our names start with two letters then Lena. If that makes sence.
Toshi was his name.
Kaya, Felicity, Josefina, Addy, Molly, Julie. And AGT 25, but she’s gonna be my Rosabella, and Rose’s story has no set time.
Lol, all the historicals I don’t have.
Oh and Rebecca.
i have jackson the horse, coconut, licorice, sprocket, rascal the cat, jip (2 of them), bennet, and jess monkey i think thats it and when i go to new york friday i am getting starburst.
Monkey’s name is Toshi.
Priscilla—I got Nellie a few years ago; actually I think it was in 2004 or 2005. Way before she was retired, though. I got Mia last year in March when I went to the AG Place in NY for Spring break. I got Luna in 2007. Rose was my first doll and I got her in….probably 2003.
And all the Samantha’s on eBay I’ve seen have gone for at LEAST $100, even if they start very low. Even b4 she was retired, none of the Sams on eBay were less than her original cost. Plus I don’t really want Samantha, just I wish I had gotten some more of her outfits 4 Nellie, because she has like nothing, poor girl. All my today dolls have plenty of clothes, but I decided Nellie should only wear her time period stuff, so she doesn’t have as much.
The AG pets I have are: Coconut for Rose and Licorice for Nellie.
The AGs I want are: 1) Sonali, 2) Julie & Ivy (I know its two, but I want the Best Friends collection…)
I’m saving up 4 Sonali rite now because she is only here for one year, but Julie and Ivy will be here longer, so I can get them whenever.
I decided I don’t want Rebecca, but I want some of her outfits 4 Nellie, because she is only 10 years before Rebecca. I don’t even know what any of her stuff looks like yet, but I’m sure there’ll be something I’ll like.
I’m kinda hoping Nellie or Samantha will have some sort of cameo in Rebecca’s books.
What do you mean by cameo??
The dolls I want are:
Gwen, maybe Chrissa, Kirsten, Nikki (or whatev..) and maybe a JLU….
So ya!! Hay (lol hay is for horses!)
who was it that siad new stuff is coming out the 14th??
O ya that;s SO funny! It’s also funny b/c some ppl back in FL called me Lena (but most just called me Claire!) !! lol
heLENA
seLENA!!!!
Also, I spelled “SAID” wrong!! oopsedaisy!!
I think by cameo she means appearance, like that Sam and Nellie will be in Rebecca’s book somehow.
oooohhhhh!!! that would be cool!! I wonder what Rebecca’s clothes will look like… good night ppl!!
i really want samantha now, so i’ll probaly buy her off ebay.Also,i’m buying Rebecca bcuz shes an actress and so am i.
Yeah, what Starr said, that’s cameo means.
Lol, best reason to buy Rebecca I’ve heard.
Someone who has a account on AGPlaythings said it cause we all learned it from Angry Jess (one of the moderators)
About the Valentines day ‘gifts’ AG’s giving, I mean.
