McKenna was chosen as 2012's Girl of the Year and when we visited the American Girl store at the Mall of America a few weeks ago, my girls were totally enchanted with her. "Mommy, that doll does gymnastics just like I want to do!"..."Mommy can we see that movie!?" Needless to say, I was overjoyed when I was asked to help promote the release of Mckenna Shoots for the Stars!
