New info and Opinion #3

Still can't find the battery... What else is new?

Well, I'll tell you!

1. In December, I celebrate three things: My birthday, Christmas, and Hanukkah. I can't wait for all three! I have a wish list all made up and ready to go for when the days come.
2. It's supposed to rain all next week. I am so excited, because rain is my favorite kind of weather.
3. Winter break is coming soon, which means that the FPAfG Gala is coming, too! All the girls can't wait!

And here's an Opinion from Felicity, Elizabeth, Julie, Kimi, and Rebecca:

1. What's your favorite American Girl character (not including friends)?
2. Have you heard of the new GOTY? Are you excited?
3. What's your favorite new AG outfit?

All right... it's my turn to answer them.

1. I have a tie between Felicity, Julie, and Rebecca.
2. I am SUPER excited! I have been SO excited, that I've done a post on her. If you'd like to see it, go to the my "Tags" in the sidebar, and click on GOTY.
3. I like the silver one with all the flowers on it. It's soooo pretty!

Once again, happy Winter! I will try to post pictures S-O-O-N! -Hal

Thanksgiving

Okay... so, we've found the camera battery charger. We've got the camera. We've got the stuff to take pictures of. But we can't find the battery! : (

My dolls, in anticipation of Thanksgiving, each found something to be thankful for.

• Lissie: I'm thankful for all of my friends
• Elizabeth: I'm thankful for all of my pretty dresses
• Julie: I'm thankful for my new scarf, to keep me warm
• Kimi: I'm thankful that I'm just like Hal!!
• Rebecca: I'm thankful that it's almost winter

So... the FPAfG gala has been changed... to a pajama party! All of the girls are really excited to go and they have already picked out their nicest pajamas.

My I Love Lucy wallet has come! Pictures are on the way (they'll be here as soon as I find the battery for the camera). It is sooo cute! I got it on eBay (www.ebay.com). You can find really cool American Girl, I Love Lucy, and tons of other stuff there.

My sewing teacher's doll boutique has passed, and I got a whole bunch of new stuff. I got a quilt, pillows, a skirt, a hat, and a scarf... all for my dolls. I was so happy when I came home with my bag full of stuff!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!!!

PS- There are only a couple of days left to vote on my poll. Please chip in!!!! : D

Baking

Hey everyone! Kimi here! I just wanted to tell everyone about an 'incident' that happened to me the other day...

I was in the kitchen (in my special apron) and I was attempting to cook a cake. I wanted to surprise everyone at FPAfG! I got everything I needed out- flour, sugar, etc. I poured everything in the mixer and turned it on high. I guess I forgot to read the instructions for that part... the instructions told me to turn it on low, not high! Before I knew it, the wet dough was everywhere! I couldn't believe it. It was such a mess!! So, I spent all day cleaning it up. Everyone else helped me to clean, thankfully. I wouldn't have been able to do it all without them! Afterword, Felicity (an amazing cook) helped me to bake some cookies. They turned out great, and tomorrow I plan to give them to everyone at the FPAfG!

See you all later! -Kimi

Yom Kippur

Hi Everyone! It's Rebecca again. Tomorrow is Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. It is when you acknowlege all of your sins from the past year and "dump" them into a lake. You symbolize them by putting breadcrubs in your pockets and throwing them into the lake. I am going to do that tomorrow with my family and also go to my grandparent's house. I am going to wear the new dress made for me! It is very pretty, 'specially with my hat and boots. I will attach some photos ASAP, but the camera's batteries are all burnt out. : (

I wish eveyone a happy, healthy New Year! Rosh Hashana went extremely well. Everyone loved the caramel, including me!

Just to tell you- pictures will be posted really soon! So be on the lookout!
-Rebecca

Hi from Rebecca!

Hello! This is Rebecca. I wanted to tell everyone about Rosh Hashana, or the Jewish New Year. It's tomorrow, and all of our family is coming over to our house. We're supposed to be eating apples and honey, to represent a sweet new year, but my brother and sisters don't like honey so they substituted the honey with caramel. I think my bubbe would be okay with it because caramel is just as sweet as honey. We're going to have chicken and strawberry lemondade for dinner- yum! Anyway, I wish everyone a happy Rosh Hashana!

Trouble!

Hello everyone! For a change, this is Elizabeth talking. The girls at FPAfG told me to write this because they think that I am the best writer in the class.

Anyway, we all went to the market the other day to buy some cake for a special treat. When we got there, we encountered some very snotty dolls. We had seen them once before a long time ago. We were all hoping never to see them again, but that was not so.

"So, what are YOU doing here?" asked the first one, Kaitlin. Julie thinks that Kaitlin is jealous because we have a website.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school? Or are you to baby-ish to go and learn something?" snickered the second, Jessica.

"Actually," answered Rebecca, "we're going to the Flower Petal Academy for Girls." Kaitlin and Jessica just stood there. They had obviously heard of how wonderful FPAfG is!

"We have to go now..." said Jessica.

"We have more pressing arrangements!" sniffed Kaitlin. The two walked quickly away.

All of us at the Flower Petal Academy for Girls laughed and gave each other high fives. Isn't that kind of exciting? Well, it is for us dolls!

PS- Maybe Lissie, Kimi, Julie, Becky and I will be able to write more posts in the future!
