“Anna, give me your hand and I will help you up.”“Isabeau, can you give me a boost from behind?”“Plenty of room for two of us!”“When we duck down, will you shut the drawer?”“I’ve found my hiding place.”“If I bend my knees I think I can fit!”“Izzybelle, we can still see you through the glass.” “Find another hiding place.”“How about now, can you see me now?” “Yes, we can see you!” “No more glass doors!” “Find a new spot!”“I don’t think Izzybelle really understands how to play this game. Do you?”“and what on earth are those cupboards for anyway???” “Haven’t you heard? They are going to hang on the walls and be high rise efficiency apartments for the Queen Annes…” “I don’t think I’d like apartment living…”“I think we have found the BEST hiding places!”“I think so too!” “I’m all set, how about you?”” Yes, I’m all set too.”“Come on Lily, I’ll find us the perfect places to hide!”“You hide behind the bears…”“…and I’ll duck down beneath the other dolls.” “Just pretend I’m not here.”… giggle…“Hurry Isabeau, we need to hide!”“I am hurrying!”“Just don’t forget to let me out if Isane doesn’t find me…”“How about now, can you see me now?” “Is THIS a good place?”“How ever did she get up there???”“… 98 … 99 … 100!” “Ready or not, here I come!”

Paula,
This is absolutely the most fun game of hide and seek ever!!! Each picture is adorable, and it was so much fun seeing the spots where each little girl was trying to hide! Little Izzybelle is cute as can be as she is trying to find a place to hide! What a fun day!
Love, Susie
Susie,
You should have heard Lily! She had the giggles though out the whole game 🙂 The other girls had to keep shushing her so that she wouldn’t be found. She said the bear fur tickled! I’m sure she will be playing hide and seek all over your house when she returns home.
Love,
Paula
