My daughter with her My Twinn doll...

but she hates it ): she told me I can have it She would rather play with her hot wheels, etc. Oh well, I tried. See attached. Had to tell her that if she sat with the doll for one photo she could go ride in her Jeep that we gave the girls for X-mas I collect dolls so at least I have a doll that looks similar to my little beauty lol

At least she posed! *hehe* She is beautiful and golly the doll looks just like her! I can understand her preference for hotwheels though. I was the same as a girl and now I am having the time of my life playing hotwheels with my son.

They really do look alike! It's uncanny!

At least she is acting like she likes her in the picture Maybe her sister will like her, and if not, I think she's yours!

So far Carmen likes Gabriel's Hot Wheels stuff too, darn it. I was hoping she'd like the Barbie & Me Hispanic doll I got her for Christmas but she couldn't care less about it (thanks a lot for that suggestion Ms. Migoya!)...Maybe our girls will like dolls later????

She is so pretty and the doll is a perfect match. I have to admit that I'd pick Legos over dolls any day when I was a girl. Who knows, she might go through a doll phase when she gets older. The Jeep sounds fun though!

Danny loves playing with dolls but also loves his jeep too!
The doll is great and I am also a doll collector and that doll is wonderful. However not as cute as the real little girl.

Happy New Year,
Mary, mom to Danny and Ricco

The picture is beautiful, Kesti! Do you happen to remember if you ordered the light brown or the brown skin tone? (Just planning for the next shopping spree!)

Here is our daughter! I thought it was a good likeness... we also ordered the light brown skin tone, which was actually darker than our daughter's skin... but I wonder if the next lighter tone would have been too light.

She LOVES this baby and has been playing with her all week. We bought a wooden "Melissa & Doug" brand doll bed to go with the doll and Lily has had fun putting the baby to bed, tucking her in, etc. Here she is right after she opened the gift with baby in it on Christmas Day.

that is the COOLEST DOLL!
it looks JUST like your little girl!

I too am having fun getting little dolls for my new little girl!
even if she isn't impressed

so,
where are you guys getting these twin dolls...is it luck or are you ordering them?

if you order them,
could you please send me a pm a website/company number?
I would love to get one for mira. so far my prize purchases have been a 'first year' doll with brown eyes and hair, but these look alikes would be the best!
