damn you, Oprah!

I had heard all about Oprah's Hannah Montana exclusive. But when I heard she would also go behind the scenes at the American Girl factory, I knew Amara would want to see it.

After all, she hears the name "Chicago," and proceeds to do a jig, proclaiming it as home to the great American Girl store.

Grandpa2Amara recorded the Oprah show. And on Thanksgiving Day, we gathered around the TV to get the inside scoop on the dolls.

But in true Oprah fashion, the show was not just an exclusive tour of the company. Oh no. American Girl took the opportunity to unveil their 2008 Girl of the Year.

And now, all Amara can talk about is Mia.

Mia is the new doll. Mia is an ice skater. Mia is pretty. Mia this. Mia that. Oh. My. Gawd. Mia must be stopped!

Damn you, Oprah! Look what you've introduced my daughter to!
