All the girls in the house have their very own doll. They are very special to each one and they have a lot of fun playing with them and most sleep with them at night. Dolls are important to girls for many reasons besides being just plain fun. It teaches them how to be future mommas, to love and nurture, take care of them, and so much more. We're so glad that simple things like dolls make them happy! It's such a little thing, yet such a BIG thing!!
And this is what happens to a guy who lives with all girls!!! Someone has to guard them and take care of them when they can't. Isn't that what daddies are for?!! And he takes that job very seriously!! Thank you daddy!

These are such sweet photos, I love the dolls!
