On January 1st, American Girl introduced girls to its brand-new 2015 Girl of the Year, Grace Thomas and Macaroni Kid had a chance this week to check out Grace in person.



According to American Girl Grace Thomas is "An avid baker with an entrepreneurial spirit, and is motivated to follow her dream of starting a baking business after an inspiring trip to Paris." 

The 2015 doll of the year set included the beautiful 18-inch Grace™ doll who is super cute and features long dark-brown hair and sparkling blue eyes, she has super cute freckles on her cheeks and is wearing a Paris Tee and a pink skirt and very cute ankle greyish boots. She comes with a doll bracelet and the "Grace" American Girl book.



Both my daughters, age 3 and 7 are crazy over Grace. She really is a pretty girl and they love playing with her hair and taking care of her. Her freckles are super cute and her blue eyes sparkle. Both kids fell immediately in love with Grace.



To further Grace’s message that working together is the best recipe for success, American Girl has created For Goodness, Bake!, a year-long fund-raising initiative in support of No Kid Hungry®, the campaign to end childhood hunger in America from Share Our Strength®. Starting January 1, American Girl is encouraging girls to host charity bake sales in their local communities and donate proceeds to No Kid Hungry. For every $1 a girl raises, No Kid Hungry can connect a child with ten additional meals.

Parents can visit americangirl.com/girloftheyear to learn more about the initiative, to register for the Bake Sale for No Kid Hungry, and be entered into the For Goodness, Bake! sweepstakes for the chance to win one of 41 Grace prize packages.  

In addition, Sur La Table in Los Angeles will host some American Girl Grace Cooking Classes: Starting in March 2015, where girls can join American Girl and Sur La Table for Grace-themed French baking classes. The two-hour class will give girls hands-on instruction on how to make French pastries.
