Now is the time to tell the tale of how Eva got her birthday doll.

For over two years, each time I saw Eva, she would gravitate toward Holly, our featured icon in Yankee Magazine last holiday season.  Grandma-ma wanted to make sure that the nearly 5-year-old got to pick and choose her dream doll.  About a month before her birthday, Eva brought her grandmother here, along with her mom and sister.  What did she decide?

So, what does an 11-year-old girl do when she wants a doll and her parents say, "Guess you'll have to save your money?"  A good lesson with a happy ending.
