I would have loved to have visited this place when I was a little girl. When I was little Cabbage Patch Kids we all the rave and you practically had to get on a waiting list to get your ands on one. I remember hearing stories of women fighting over them in Toys R Us at Christmas time!!
When you walk in there is a very palatial lobby with a huge curved staircase. You are first lead into the nursery where you can pick out any of the babies that you would like to adopt. This picture is of Genevieve standing in front of the Christmas tree that stands in the corner of the girls nursery.
Then you enter into the main hall where all of the cabbage patches are growing "I guess"? If they are completely exposed they are available to take and adopt. If just its head is showing then I guess the Cabbage Mother still has some pushing to do.. :0
Ok, get a load of this...... Periodically a nurse will make an announcement over the intercom to summon all of the children around this big tree in the center of the room. A nurse appears and starts taking Mother cabbages vitals etc.
She reaches in and pulls out a new born cabbage patch....That's how they are "born". As you can see on Genevieve's face in the next shot, she was a little shocked at the whole procedure. She just had a baby brother and didn't see any of these big trees or cabbages in that hospital?
Regardless....She had a wonderful time, it's a very magical place for a little girl to visit. I'm so glad we took her and I'm happy to announce that she became the proud parent of a little blond haired, blue eyed girl named Sheila Arlene! (It's better than my first CPK "Archibald Haywood")

She and her dad nicknamed it "Dirty Smelly" just to torment her sister! Ahhh, what are families for?
Merry Christmas Sugar.....
