Ultimate Christmas Guide for American Girl Dolls (Money Saving Tips!)

It happened.  My little girls caught the American Girl Doll bug.  I thought I was in the clear, my girls have never really been into dolls.  But then…the catalog came.  They carried it around everywhere, looked at it in bed, circled their favorites with markers, started noticing which of their friends had one, and now…it’s…
