Hi! This is McKenna. She is this year’s Girl of the Year. This is my review on this beautiful doll:

McKenna has a wonderful face mold with beautiful blue eyes. Her body is plush and soft, and her legs are more loose than other dolls’ because she is a gymnast. Could she do those move with stiff legs?! Her meet outfit suits her well, it is made with a soft material. Her shoes also really suit her, and both her shoes and her outfit have her two favorite colors: turquoise and purple!

Her hair is the best! If you do not like anything else about her get her for her hair! It is silky and a dream to style. Well, French braids do not stay unless you are a miracle worker because it is so silky. But other styles work well, like pigtails, regular braids and hairdos like that work perfectly.

Well, that’s my review! Here are some pictures of the GOTY 2012, McKenna Brooks!

Her friends (from left) Felicity, Samantha and Kit wanted to take a picture too!

Happy Hunger Games from McKenna (and me pointing)!

Thanks for reading. I give the McKenna doll 5 s!

Thank you so much for your review, Meg! It definitely makes me want this gorgeous girl!!

Do you have McKenna? What do you think of her? :)

They've also posted the news and mock book covers on the American Girl Publishing Website!

Ahh, I'm so excited! From the looks of her name with the droplets of water, I wonder if her story will be near the sea? I can't wait until September when everything is revealed!

What do you think of the news? Do you want to get her?

It's time to plant! Julie has all the basic ingredients for gardening: an egg carton to plant in, dirt, seeds, and of course you can't forget the watering can!

Julie's now working on some bigger plants that need bigger pots!

After all that hard work, she decides to rest underneath the beautiful blooming flowers that she planted last year.

Then, it's back to work...or not? ;)

Thanks so much for sharing your pictures with us G!

Does your family have a garden? Have you done any planting yet?

Ps~Do you have any doll pictures you would like to share with us too? Feel free to send them to me at email@americangirlfan.com! We'd love to hear from you!

What do you think Felicity, Addy, and Kit are thinking or saying? (You can have your caption be all or a few of them.) Just comment below with your caption. It can be as funny or creative as you want! My family will pick their favorite caption of all of them and it will be shown on Friday!

We can't wait to see your caption! Have Fun!! ;)

I had heard about American Girl's App games for the iPod, so those were the first things I downloaded for FREE! I thought it would be fun to share some of my thoughts on these cool games!

McKenna's Gymtastic Game is my favorite of all four of the games! It's the newest App, since it was let out in April. The point of the game is to try not to fall of the beam, by tapping the screen to make McKenna jump.

The more stars you collect the more points you get too! I love to see how high I can get McKenna to go!

Kanani's Shave Ice Game is probably my second favorite, it's awesome! I love serving all of the customers, but it sure can get hard to hurry up and fill the orders! ;)

The Cheer On! Game is really unique in that you tilt the iPod to play!

By tilting it it moves the megaphone to spell out the word. The words get longer as you play! I think this one is a little harder than the rest, since the megaphone gets stuck for me sometimes.

And, finally Cecile and Marie-Grace's Secret Wardrobe! This one is really fun and fast-paced!

As the masquarade costume clothing falls quickly, you have to move them to the right place--either to Cecile or Marie-Grace.

Kit thinks the Secret Wardrobe is super fun!! I think I'll have to watch out or my iPod may go missing one day. haha ;) Kit hopes that they come out with some more Historical AG Apps soon!

Have you played any of these American Girl App Games? Which one is your favorite?
