I don't see a ton of similarities between Marilyn and Charlotte but I don't feel like we "know" Marilyn very well. I also think she's just insecure in a different way, but that's just my opinion of both girls. ;D I always loved the description of the birthday gifts the girls got - didn't they get doll houses? I would have loved those. ;D

I would have loved those. ;D Yeah each twin got their own dollhouse and these weren't cheap dollhouses either, these dollhouses were fully stocked with furniture, had lights on in each room and Christmas decorations! When I was a kid, I really loved the pink Little Tikes Dollhouse that I got for my 4th birthday and thought it was the coolest thing ever but then I turned 8 years old and read this book with the dollhouse descriptions and thought that my dollhouse sounded weak next to theirs ;D. I still like my dollhouse though. My cousins in Minnesota have it to play with now .

The dollhouse that my grandfather made for my mother is still around, after Mother and I both played with it. I don't think it will be practical to get it for DD, though, so we may have to improvise on the dollhouse front.

Huh. I must have somehow swaped "doll house" with "big giant American Girl style trunk" in my head.
Were the doll beds brass? I remember brass.

Yes, brass. If you were associating w/ American Girls, that's logical because Samantha's bed is brass as well.

I have that bed, so that's how I picture the Arnold twins' doll beds as well. If I had been a Pike, i would not have had a brass doll bed.

"In my family, you don't get matching brass doll beds. You don't even get one brass doll bed." I think that's the exact quote.
