They said they'd 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: get it in soon, and when it arrives She's all yours. 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: Ivy smiled on the outside, but a little piece of her, 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: just a teeny tiny piece, was a little upset. She 24 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: really wanted to celebrate her birthday with her new American 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Girl doll and was sad when her parents told her 26 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,639 Speaker 1: that it would be just a few more days before 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: she could have it. And there was one other little 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: thing that Ivy wished was different about her birthday. She 29 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: wished that her cousin Stella could be there. Stella wanted 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: to be there, but she had a gymnastics tournament on 31 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: the same day and wasn't able to make it. She 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: was really sad to miss Ivy's party and told her 33 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: cousin she would make it up to her very soon. 34 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: I hope Stella's tournament is going well, said Ivy as 35 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: she bobbed a balloon across the living room to one 36 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: of her friends. They really do miss her, but I'll 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: see her soon. Wow, Ivy, you're being such a big 38 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: girl right now, said her mom. You could have let 39 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: Stella and your new doll not be in here really 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: upset you and take away from your special day, But 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: instead you understand that everything will work out and you're 42 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: enjoying your big day with everyone and everything that is here. 43 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: Ivy smiled at her mom as she headed off to 44 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: the kitchen to get some more cupcakes. But as her 45 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: mom turned to leave, Ivy's big smile turned into a 46 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: little frown. But I'm still just a little kid, and 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: I am sad that Stella and my new dollar missing 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: from my party, whispered Ivy to herself. But she only 49 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: fell that way for a moment before a friend ran 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: over and invited her to bounce in the giant unicorn 51 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: bounce house in her backyard. Ivy took a deep breath, 52 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: snapped back into party mode, and off she ran to 53 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: have fun with her friends and family who were at 54 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: the party, and she had a great time. Once in 55 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: the bounce house, Ivy ran into or should I say 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: bounced into her brother LEVI. Wow, this party's incredible, Ivy 57 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: shouted Levi, as you jumped all around her. I ate 58 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: four cupcakes already. Uh don't tell mom, don't worry, I won't, 59 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: replied Ivy as she did a backflip. 60 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: Are you having fun? Asked Levi? The best time? And 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: it's only getting better because. 62 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: We're about to open presents, said Ivy as she high 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: fived her friends. You're gonna love what I got you, 64 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: her friend said as she bounced up and down. I 65 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: got you something to wear that I have two, so 66 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: we can wear it to school and we can beg. 67 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: To Wizzies, said another friend. 68 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: Levi was too busy trying to break his highest bound 69 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: record to hear what Ivy and her friends were talking about, 70 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: which was too bad for him because if he had 71 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: heard them talking about presence, he maybe could have had 72 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: time to put something together for Ivy. You see, Levi 73 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: had forgotten to get a sister of birthday gift and 74 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: would soon find out that what he thought was no 75 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: big deal kind of made him feel like a. 76 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: Bad big brother. 77 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Ivy, it's present time, calls her dad from just outside 78 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the bounce house. Ivy screamed with excitement, and she and 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: her friends hopped out and ran toward a big pile 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: of presents that were sitting on a picnic table in 81 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: their backyard. 82 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: Levi kept bouncing. 83 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Until his dad climbed into the bounce house to get 84 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: him out. As he stumbled around trying to keep his balance, 85 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: Levi bounced higher and higher. Levi le Levi shout at 86 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: his dad as his son's bouncing made him lose his 87 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: balance and tip over. Can you please stop and come 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: with me? Ivy's opening our presence now presence, thought Levi 89 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: as he flopped on the bounce house floor. I forgot 90 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: to get Ivy a present. The look on Levi's face 91 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: changed from happy, bouncing excitement to a look of total panic. 92 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: Ivy was already tearing through wrapping paper and looking through 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: gift bags, so Levi knew he had no time to 94 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 1: get her a present. He hopped out of the bounce 95 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: house after helping his dad get up, and watched from 96 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: a distance as Ivy laughed and talked with her friends 97 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: and family while she opened her gifts. She thanked them 98 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: and held up the lovely things that they had given her. 99 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,559 Speaker 1: She looked so happy. That's when Levi thought that maybe 100 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: she wouldn't even notice that she didn't open a gift 101 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: from him. Maybe she had so many other presence that 102 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: it was okay that he didn't get her anything. Leeve 103 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: I liked the way that sounded his head, so that's 104 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: what he went with. He wanted to enjoy the rest 105 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: of the party, and he wanted Ivy to as well, 106 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: so he didn't mention anything about not getting her a present. Instead, 107 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: he joined Ivy and her family and friends and continued 108 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: to have a great day. After Ivy was done opening 109 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: her presence, they had cake and played more party games 110 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: as the afternoon turned into early evening. I can't believe 111 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: my party's all over, said Ivy to her parents as 112 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: she waved goodbye to one of her friends as she left. 113 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: I know I said it before, but I really did 114 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: have an amazing time. 115 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 2: Thank you both for a great day. 116 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Ivy's parents gave her a big hug, and before starting 117 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: to clean up, they all had one last family bounce 118 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: in the bounce house. Ivy and Levi giggled together as 119 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: they watched their parents jumping up and down. Wow, I 120 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: didn't think you could jump that high, laugh Levi, looking 121 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: at his dad. 122 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: I didn't know. 123 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: Oh, I could either, And truthfully, I'm getting a little 124 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: motion sick. I need to stop the hop right now, 125 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: answered Levi's dad as he slowly crawled out of the 126 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: bounce house and back onto solid ground. I'm headed out too, 127 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: said Levi and Ivy's mom as she hopped into the backyard. 128 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: Kind of hard to stop bouncing once you've been in 129 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: that thing for a while. Ivy and Levi continued to 130 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 1: bounce until their giggles turned into yawns and they knew 131 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: it was time to head inside. Ah, great birthday parties 132 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: will make you super tired, beyond Ivy as she walked 133 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: inside with her brother. 134 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: Ah. 135 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: Then I think we're gonna sleep for two days because 136 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: your birthday party was awesome, said Levi. After helping their 137 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: parents put away some food and takedowns a few decorations, 138 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: they were told they should head upstairs and get ready 139 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: for bed, so they did. Happy birthday, Ivy called out 140 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Levi to his sister as he walked into his room 141 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: after brushing his teeth. 142 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: Thank you, Levi, I'd call back. 143 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: As she crawled into her bed, wearing her favorites Neuglius pajamas. 144 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: She was ready to get a good night's sleep after 145 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: having such a fun day. Meanwhile, in Levi's room, he 146 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: was getting out his favorite pajamas too, when he noticed something. 147 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: It was a picture frame that was sitting on his 148 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: dresser where he kept all his clothes, but more importantly, 149 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: it was the birthday present he had gotten from Ivy 150 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: at his last birthday. She painted the frame and covered 151 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: it with stickers of all his favorite things. Then she 152 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: put a picture of her and Levi inside from when 153 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: they had gone on vacation to the beach. He really 154 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: loved it, and that's when he realized, Oh, no, it 155 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: does matter that I didn't get Ivy a birthday present, 156 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: thought Levi to himself, as he held the frame in 157 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: his hands. It doesn't matter if she got a thousand 158 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: other gifts today, she didn't get one from me. And 159 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: it's not the gift, it's the thought behind it that 160 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: shows you care. Levi sat on his bed, holding the 161 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: frame and thinking, maybe Ivy was sitting in her bed 162 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: wondering why he hadn't given her a gift. Well, lucky 163 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: for Levi, I suppose Ivy was so tired from her 164 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: party she fell asleep as soon as her head touched 165 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: the pillow. But yes, she had noticed that Levi hadn't 166 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: given her a gift, but didn't say anything to him 167 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: that day because everyone was having so much fun. Levi 168 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: felt sad as he laid in his bed and drifted 169 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: off to sleep. He put the frame Ivy had made 170 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: for him on his bedside table and stared at it 171 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: until he fell asleep. He knew the next day he 172 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: had to make this right, so that's what he did. 173 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: After a long day of birthday fun, Levi and Ivy 174 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: both slept late, with Levi waking up just a few 175 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: minutes before his sister, and as soon as his eyes opened, 176 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: he started thinking of a gift he could get her. 177 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: He looked around his room and thought maybe he could 178 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: give her something he already had. How about this truck 179 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: so we can dig with it and build sandcastles at 180 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: the beach. 181 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: Thought Levi. No, the wheels always falling off. 182 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: How about my old baseball glove so then we can 183 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: play catch together. 184 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: No, that would be too big for her. 185 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: How about my mood ring and that I got at 186 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: the arcade. No, that won't work either, because I've got 187 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: one too. Levi was sitting on his bed looking pretty 188 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: defeated when his dad walked by his door. What's up, buddy, 189 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: I thought you'd still be sleeping after that great party yesterday. 190 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: You must have bounced for two hours in a row, 191 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: said his dad as he stood in Levi's doorway. 192 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: That's when Levi told his dad all about Ivy's birthday 193 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: gift or lack of birthday gift to be specific. 194 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: I feel terrible, Dad. 195 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: And I now I just want to give Ivy the 196 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: best gift ever, said Levi before standing out from his bed. No, 197 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: not the best gift ever, but the best day ever. 198 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: Well that's a very nice thought, Levi. And I'm glad 199 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: that you see. Giving your sister a little something to 200 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: show you care is the right thing to do on 201 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: her birthday, said his dad, feeling proud of his son's decision. 202 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: I can help you. 203 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: We just need to do a little snooping to find 204 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: out what we need for Ivy's best day ever. And 205 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: that's when they heard Ivy call for her mom. Yes, honey, 206 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: what is it? She asked, running into her room. 207 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: Did you have a bad dream? 208 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: No, the total opposite, mommy, exclaim with a look of 209 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: pure joy on her face. 210 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: It was the best dream ever. 211 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: Levi looked at his dad and knew he had to 212 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: hear all about this dream. That way he could figure 213 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: out what to do for Ivy's best day ever gift. 214 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: Levi and his dad quietly crept down the hallway and 215 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: hid just outside of Ivy's room, listening closely to every 216 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: word she said. 217 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: That's wonderful. Ivy. 218 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear all about it, said Ivy's mom, 219 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: getting comfy on her bed. Well, it started off in Hawaii, 220 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: began Ivy. There were big buildings, taxi cars, and tons 221 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: of people all around. 222 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: Ivy. 223 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: That doesn't really sound like Hawaii to me, said Ivy's mom. 224 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, my mistake. 225 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: I was in New York City, giggled Ivy, still waking up, 226 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: and you were there with me at the American Girls store. 227 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: That sounds like so much fun, said Ivy's mom. It was, 228 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivey. We started off the day by picking up 229 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: my American Girl doll and it looked just like me. 230 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: I named her Katie, and the first thing we did 231 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: was pick out matching outfits. I picked out the cutest 232 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: pink shirt and jacket and a fun T shirt to 233 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: go underneath it. We were total twinsies. Wow, you got 234 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: your doll in your dream, said Ivy's mom. Hopefully that 235 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: part will come true sooner than later. That's when Levi 236 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: looked at his dad and asked if there was any 237 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: way to get Ivy's doll that day. 238 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 2: There is a chance. 239 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: I just have to call the store and see if 240 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: it's in yet, I can't guarantee that it will be, 241 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: but we can't try, said Levi's dad as he ran 242 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: off to give the store a call. Levi tried to 243 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: stay positive, but he was really nervous that the doll 244 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't be ready in time, and if it wasn't, he 245 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: wouldn't have any chance of creating Ivy's best day. Ever, 246 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: as Levi continued to listen, he heard something else that 247 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: he knew he needed his dad's help with. What happened next, 248 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: Ivy asked her mom, excited to hear more about Ivy's dream. 249 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: After we changed into our matching outfits, we were feeling 250 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: a little hungry, said Ivy, so we walked into the 251 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: American Girl Cafe and sat down for lunch. But not 252 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: just a regular lunch, a tea party lunch. Oh, Ivy, 253 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: this sounds so fun, said her mom. And what tasty 254 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: things did we eat? Ivy went on to tell her 255 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: mom about the silver towered trays filled with cookies, cakes, 256 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: and the most delicious cinnamon rolls. There were tiny sandwiches 257 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: and sweet delicious fruit, and we can't forget the tea 258 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: and the fanciest tea cups I'd ever seen Levi took 259 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: all this new information and ran to tell his dad. 260 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: Dad. 261 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: Dad whispered, LEVI, while you're out picking up the doll, 262 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: you also have to get supplies for the best tea 263 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: party ever. And don't forget the food. We need little sandwiches, cookies, 264 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: and cinnamon rolls. Levi's dad gave him a thumbs up 265 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: as he continued to talk to someone at the store 266 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: about Ivy's doll. I think we're gonna do it, dad, 267 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: Levi whispered, with a big smile on his face. I 268 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: think we may actually be able to make Ivy's best 269 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: day ever come to life right before her eyes. 270 00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: Now I got to run. 271 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: Back and listen to the of the dream, so I 272 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: don't leave out one detail. Levi disappeared around the corner 273 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: as the planning for Ivy's best day ever continued. 274 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: And you'll never believe who was there, Levi heard Ivy say. 275 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: As he got back to a sister's bedroom door, ready 276 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: with some more crucial information for his big gift. A 277 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: magical dragon asked her mom. No, how about an astronaut 278 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: in a spaceship. Nope, I've got it now, A beautiful 279 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: fairy or maybe a whole group of fairies. 280 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: No, Mommy, laughed Ivy. 281 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: I know it was a dream, so it could have 282 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: been anyone or anything, but you know the people who 283 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: were there very well. 284 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 2: It was Mamma got Titi and cousin Stella. 285 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: She brought her American girl doll, Kayla, and we are 286 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: all having the best time. After hearing that, Ivy's mom 287 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: knew that her daughter was definitely having this dream because 288 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: she had been thinking about and missing her new doll 289 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: and Stella the day of her birthday party. After hearing 290 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: this new piece of information, Levi had to run back 291 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: to his dad before he left the house, and it 292 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: was a good thing he ran as fast as he did, 293 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: because he caught his dad just before he was heading 294 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: out the door. Dad Dad called out Levi, trying to 295 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: whisper but getting a little too loud. LEVI, sh I 296 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: don't want Ivan your mom to hear me leaving, said 297 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: Levi's dad. They would ask where I'm going, and that 298 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: would ruin the whole surprise. Sorry, Dad, but I have 299 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: some new information that definitely needs to be part of 300 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: our big surprise, whispered Levi. It turns out that cousin 301 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: Stella was in Ivey's dream. Well, I don't think I'm 302 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: gonna find her at the store, laughed Levi's dad. Well, no, 303 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: but you could call tt and see if Stella could 304 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: come over today, replied Levi. That's a much better idea, 305 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: said Levi's dad. I'll give your Anna call when I 306 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: get to the store. It looks like Ivy's doll could 307 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: be arriving right now, but the person I talked to 308 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: told me that's only of everything was perfectly with the delivery. 309 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: That means no delays or traffic jams. So let me 310 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: over there so I can get back as soon as possible. 311 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: I'll keep my fingers crossed that you have Ivy's doll 312 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: with you and that Stella can make it over too, 313 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: said Levi. And if it's not too much to ask, 314 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: could you tell Tit to stay for a bit and 315 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: ask her to bring Mama goa. It turns out they 316 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: were all in Ivy's dream. Wow, said Levi's dad, feeling 317 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: like he was putting together a whole other birthday party 318 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: but only had a couple of hours to do it. 319 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: I'll do my best, buddy, Levi's dad headed out the 320 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: door as Levi ran back to keep listening in on 321 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: Ivy's dream. What happened next in this amazing dream, asked 322 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom, as LEVI got back to a sister's bedroom. 323 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: You mean my best day ever dream, giggleed Ivy. Next, 324 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: Katie and I and Stella and her doll Kayla went 325 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: to the American Girl salon. It was so pretty there 326 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: and everyone was so nice. They asked what we wanted 327 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: to do with our hair and if we wanted it 328 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: to look like Katie and I looked at this big 329 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: book of all these kinds of braids and hairstyles. Did 330 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: you end up going with something totally different, like a 331 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: neon green mohawk or pink and blue purple streaks with 332 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: pomp palm hair clips, asked Ivy's mom. Ivy couldn't help 333 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: but laugh, picturing what she and her doll Katy would 334 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: look like with either of those hairstyles. No, Mommy, we 335 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: both got these really cute braids in the shape of 336 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: a big heart, answered Ivy. Looking more and more excited, 337 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: she talked about her dream. Once Ivy and Katie were 338 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: all set in the salon chair, Stella and her doll 339 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: Kayla were ready to go. They each got a bunch 340 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: of mini braids tied with little ribbons and all different colors. 341 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: Hearing all of this salon talk, Levi started to get worried. 342 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: There's no way Dad or I can make mini braids 343 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: tied with little ribbons or a design in someone's. 344 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: Hair, thought Levi. 345 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: And Dad already left, so I can't ask him to 346 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: bring home a hairstylist. That's when Levi had the idea 347 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: that he could ask the only other person in the 348 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: house who he knew could do hair to help him out, 349 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: his mom. He would just have to wait to ask 350 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: her until after his plan all came together, and hoped 351 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: she would agree to help. He had a pretty good 352 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: feeling that she would, and so he went back to 353 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: gathering more information for his big gift. 354 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: After we got our hair done, there was only one 355 00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: other thing to do with. 356 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: The salon, said Ivy to her mom with a little smirk. 357 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: Get your nails done, answered her mom. Oh no, that's right, 358 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: said Ivy. I got smiling faces on my nails, and 359 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: Katie got the tiniest purple polka dot. This dream just 360 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: keeps getting better and better, said Ivy's mom. 361 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear what you did next. 362 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: Ivy then went on to tell her mom about the 363 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: fun day she and Stella and their American Girl dolls 364 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: had in New York City. At that point in the dream, 365 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom went along with Stella and Ivy, but Ivy's 366 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: aunt and grandma stayed behind at the American Girl Store. Meanwhile, Ivy, 367 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom, Stella, and their dolls started their trip through 368 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: New York by taking a horse drawn carriage ride through 369 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: Central Park. After that, they all went to the top 370 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: of the Empire State Building and then took. 371 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: A boat ride to the Statue of Liberty. 372 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: Lee By once again was at a loss for how 373 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: he was going to make these very memorable parts of 374 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: Ivy's dream come to life. That's when he got creative. 375 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: He was great at building things and loved to draw. 376 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: So if he couldn't bring his sister to New York City, 377 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: he would bring New York City to his sister. He 378 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: would have a lot of work to do, but it 379 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: would be all worth it if he can make Ivy's 380 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: best day ever a reality. Wow, you must have been 381 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: tired after all the sight seeing, said Ivy's mom. We 382 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: definitely were, so we headed to our very special hotel, 383 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: said Ivy, And when we walked into our room, we 384 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: found out that it wasn't a room for just us. 385 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: There were special beds and pajamas waiting for our American 386 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: girls too. There were also new pajamas for you, me 387 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: and Stella. They were so soft and comfy. How fun 388 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: is that, said Ivy's mom. So we all changed into 389 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: our company new pajamas and ordered some room service, said Ivy. 390 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: After all, having that much fun can make you very, 391 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: very hungry. After hearing that, Levi thought he was going 392 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: to have to whip up some big menu of food 393 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,239 Speaker 1: for the next part of Ivy's dream, but what he 394 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: heard next brought him a big sigh of relief. When 395 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: we called down to the front desk to order our food, 396 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: we asked if they could get us exactly what we 397 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: had for lunch at the American Girls store, because it 398 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: was so good. 399 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: Said Ivy. 400 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: They said that it was no problem at all. Then 401 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: no sooner to be hanging up the phone. We heard 402 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: a knock at our hotel door, and the food it 403 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: was amazing, Levi I realized as he continued to listen 404 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: that he would need to make sure Stella was able 405 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: to sleep over, but he would have to deal. 406 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 2: With that later. 407 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: Ivy's dream seemed to be wrapping up because Levi could 408 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: see her excitement was fading a bit, and now she 409 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: looked a little sad. What's wrong, Ivy asked her mom? 410 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: No more fun dream details to share? Pretty much, said Ivy. 411 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: She started to tell her mom the last few minutes 412 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: of her dream. After we ate, Stella and I jumped 413 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: on our beds with our dolls. We had a pillow fight, 414 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: and we even made a wish on a star as 415 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: we looked out the hotel room's huge picture window over 416 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: New York City. I of course wished I could have 417 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: a day like that every day, but I know now 418 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: that it will never happen. Ivy sounded so sad, and 419 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: it only made Levi I want to make sure he 420 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: didn't miss this one little detail. When putting together his 421 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: sister's best day ever, Stella and I started feeling really sleepy, 422 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: so we decided it was time to go to bed, 423 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: said Ivy. And where was I when all of those 424 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: jumping on beds and pillow fights was going on? 425 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: Giggled Ivy's mom. 426 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: Somehow you managed to sleep through it all laughed Ivy. 427 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: So Stella tucked Caylin too her special bed, and I 428 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: did the same for Katie. And when I went to 429 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: kiss her good night, I woke up. A tear rolled 430 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: down Ivy's cheek as she remembered the feeling of her 431 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: best day ever dream ending, But then she quickly wiped 432 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: that tear away. She remembered why she was crying. Are 433 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: you okay, Ivy asked her mom, giving her daughter a 434 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: big hug. Yes, Mommy, I'm crying because I missed my dream. 435 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: It was really the best day ever, said Ivy. But 436 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: I have to smile too, because at least I got 437 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: to experience it. 438 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: It was really so much fun. I just wish dreams 439 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 2: could come true. 440 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Why do you wish that, asked her mom. Because dreams 441 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: are magical, said Ivy. The things that happen in dreams 442 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: could never happen in real life. Oh no, Ivy, magic 443 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: can happen in real life too. Just trust me, began 444 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom. If you dream it, you can make it happen. 445 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: Levi heard his mom's words and knew he had a 446 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: lot to do in a short amount of time, and 447 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: it had to be perfect. After all, it was for 448 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,239 Speaker 1: his sister. Ivy smiled at her mom, hopeful that what 449 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: she had said was true and that. 450 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: Dreams really can come true. 451 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom then suggested that they get their day started 452 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: and see if anything magical happens, so they walked downstairs 453 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: together to get some breakfast. As they were making food, 454 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: Ivy's mom called for her dad and Levi to join them. 455 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: Levi I heard his mom calling and quickly ran into 456 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: the kitchen from the playroom. 457 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 2: Hi Mom, Hi Ivy. 458 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: Dad had to run out for something, and I'm working 459 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: on well something, so we won't be around for breakfast, 460 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: said Levi, trying not to look or sound suspicious and failing. 461 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: But just so you know, I think lunch is going 462 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: to be pretty amazing, so we'll see you then. 463 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: Also, I put a do not disturb sign on the 464 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: playroom door, so just keep out. Okay, okay, I guess, 465 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: said Ivy and her mom. Trust me, It'll all be 466 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: worth it, said Levi with a smile as he ran 467 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: off to finish his work. After a little while, Levi 468 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: and Ivy's dad walked through the front door and asked 469 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: if anyone had seen Levi. He was holding a few 470 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: big bags in his hand and did his best to 471 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: hide them from view. He's in the playroom and he's 472 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: been a bit suspicious, just like you, come to think 473 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: of it, said Ivy and Levi's mom. Oh, don't you 474 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: worry about how we're acting, said Levi's dad with a laugh. 475 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 2: It'll all be worth it around lunchtime. Yeah, Levi, I 476 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: already told. 477 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: Us, said Ivy, getting a little more excited about what 478 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: the big surprise could be. She and her mom decided 479 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: to give Levi and his dad their space to create 480 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: whatever they were working on and busy themselves elsewhere around 481 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: the house. Time passed and Ivy and her mom put 482 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: away more party decorations and cleaned up more things left 483 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: behind outside after the party of the day before. Then, 484 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: as they started to feel hungry for lunch, Levi found 485 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: them in the backyard. Thank you for being patient with us, 486 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: said Levi. I'd now like to ask that you both 487 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: follow me to the playroom. I think going to be 488 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: really happy with what's in there, especially you Ivy. At 489 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: this point, Ivy thought that maybe her brother did finally 490 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 1: get her something for her birthday, since he didn't give 491 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: her anything the day before, but she could never imagine 492 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: what was waiting behind the playroom door when. 493 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 2: She opened it. 494 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: Ready, Dad, Levi shouted through the closed door when he 495 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: reached the playroom with his mom and sister. Absolutely, come 496 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: on in, call back Levi's dad. 497 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 2: Ivy. I'm sorry I didn't. 498 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: Give you a birthday present yesterday, said Levi. You're always 499 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: so thoughtful and kind with the gifts you give me. 500 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: I just hope you can see past it being a 501 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: day late and enjoy your best day ever. As Levi 502 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 1: said this, he opened the door to the playroom, revealing 503 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,479 Speaker 1: to his mom and Ivy what he and his dad 504 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: had been working. 505 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: On all morning. 506 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, shouted Ivy, this looks just like my dream. 507 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 2: How did you know? How did you know, Levi? 508 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: I was listening to you tell mom all about it 509 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: this morning when you got up, began Levi. I listened 510 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: to every detail, and Dad helped me make your dream 511 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: come to light. 512 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 2: It's like magic, whispered Ivy to her mom. You were right, 513 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 2: Dreams do come true. 514 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: Ivy walked further into the playroom and looked at everything 515 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: Levi and her dad had done. There was a huge 516 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: picture on the wall that looked just like new York 517 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: City with tall skyscrapers and cars and people everywhere that 518 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 1: Levi drew. He also used his blocks to make some 519 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: more buildings and scattered his big trucks and cars all 520 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: around to make it look more like a real city. 521 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: Come take a sea, Ivy, said Levi as he directed 522 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: her to the most beautiful decorated table filled with all 523 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: the things from her dream tea party. And if you 524 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: look out of the cafe window, you'll see Central Park, 525 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building, just 526 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: like in your dream. Wow, you thought of every detail, 527 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: Levi said Ivy. 528 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough. 529 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: It's like it's like I'm right back in my dream, 530 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 1: Like I'm sitting in the American Girl Cafe in New 531 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: York City with their delicious cinnamon buns, tasty tea. And what, Ivy, 532 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: is there some than missing? Said Levi with a little 533 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: smirk on his face. He knew exactly what Ivy was 534 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: thinking about her new doll. No, everything is great, Levi, 535 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: it's just in my dream. I had my brand new 536 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: American Girl doll Katie with me, But I know there's 537 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: no way you could get her here today. 538 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: Mom and Dad already ordered her. 539 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: And she's just taking a little while to get here, 540 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: said Ivy. But remember, Levi said with a smile. 541 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: Dreams do come true if you believe in them. 542 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: Then he stepped to the side to show Ivy, who 543 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: was sitting at the head of the tea party table 544 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: waiting for her. Katie shout at Ivy as she ran 545 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: over and picked up her new doll. 546 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: She's absolutely perfect. You're the best brother ever and this is, 547 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 2: without a doubt, the best day ever. 548 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: I couldn't be happier to hear that, Ivy, said Levi, 549 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: giving his sister a hug. Happy birthday, and I promised 550 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: not to forget your gift ever again. And speaking of gifts, 551 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot more to this, Levi poured Ivy t 552 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: As she sat down with Katie, he gave her a 553 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: cinnamon roll and then showed her a few different choices 554 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: for her new doll. Then Levi pulled his mom aside 555 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: and asked her a question before telling Ivy that she 556 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: and her doll would be getting their hair and nails 557 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: done too, just like in my dream, said Ivy, not 558 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: believing all the great stuff that Levi had planned. Levi 559 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: and Ivy's mom had just agreed to be the hairstylist 560 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: and nail tech for the day and couldn't have been 561 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: happier to help. But what Ivy didn't know was she 562 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: had a few special guests that would be joining her. 563 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: How could this day get any better? Asked Ivys. She 564 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: enjoyed her sinnamon roll with her new American Girl doll, 565 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: and in just a second she would get her answer. 566 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: The doorbell rang and Leavi rest out of the room. 567 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: When he came back in, he had the last part 568 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: of Ivy's best day ever. Surprised with him no way, 569 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy as she turned around to see her cousin 570 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: Stella walking into the playroom. Ivy, I'm so happy to 571 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: see you, exclaimed Stella. 572 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: Happy late birthday. 573 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I couldn't be here yesterday, but I'm here 574 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: now with my American girl doll Kayla, and guess what, 575 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: We're having a sleepover tonight. Ivy was sober whelmed by 576 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: the awesome news that she had almost forgot to say 577 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,239 Speaker 1: hello to her Teity and her Mamma Go, who had 578 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: driven Stella over. She hugged them all and thanked Levi 579 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: and her mom and dad once again. Then she ran 580 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: over to her tea party and showed Stella everything Levi 581 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: had created for her. As they ate their little sandwiches 582 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: and tasty cookies, Ivy told Stella all about her dream 583 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: and all the wonderful things they would get to do 584 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: together at the sleepover. We're so proud of you, Levi, 585 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 1: said his mom as Levi watched on. He was so 586 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: happy that his big birthday surprise worked out like it did. 587 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, great job, buddy, said his dad. 588 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: Then they all watched as Ivy's dream became a reality 589 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: and her best day ever magically came to life right 590 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: before her eyes.
