Christmas

Hello, everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas! I certainly did, and here are all of the doll-related things that I got:

First of all, here are two of my (eight) I Love Lucy Barbie dolls. The one on the left I got from Santa, and she's from the episode "LA At Last". The one on my right I got on Christmas Eve from my grandparents, and she is this year's I Love Lucy Barbie doll. She's from the episode "The Ballet". I think they are so cute!

Here is Kimi, the doll that I brought to Christmas Eve with me, opening up Julie's pajamas.

Here is Julie wearing her pajamas. I think this is my favorite PJ set. What's yours?

And, last but not least, here is Kimi posing in front of my grandparents' tree. My grandma has an extensive collection of Christopher Radko (he makes Christmas ornaments) collection, and her tree is beautiful!

Now that Christmas is over, I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy New Year! -Hal

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, and I got so much stuff! I took pictures of the doll-related things and put them on the blog:

I got Chrissa's Craft Studio. It is so cute! It is much more awesome in person than on the website... believe me! There is a sewing machine (and I love to sew), yarn, knitting needles, pencils, scissors, thread, an organizer, a bowl (that her dad apparently made), a notebook for designing, a pincushion, and a measuring tape.

Here's the sewing machine up close. When you turn it on, the presser foot moves up and down. It is so fun to play with, and I think that all of my dolls are enjoying it already.

I got two Barbie dolls! The one on the left is "Sales Resistance" and Lucy's in her traditional blue and white polka-dotted dress. The one on the right is the one I got for Hanukkah, but I figured I'd put it in anyway, because it is so cute! This one is from "Lucy Gets a Paris Gown". That is my favorite episode!

Talking about Hanukkah, I'll make a post once Hanukkah is over and show all of my doll-related gifts. Also, I wanted to tell everyone about a book I got for my birthday. It's called Do Hard Things and it's a nonfiction book about how teenagers are actually using up the best years of their lives being lazy. I highly recommend this book. It's really good!

Happy holidays to everyone! -Hal

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!!!!

Halloween and More

Hello, everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I tried to post some Halloween pictures of my dolls, but they wouldn't work. It may be a while before it does, but don't worry; they're coming!

The post has ended, and 12 people voted. That is awesome! Please vote on my next poll. Here are the results for "What is your favorite month?":

1st- December and October
2nd- July and May
3rd- August and September
(All of the other months were not chosen.)

In a couple of weeks, my sewing teacher is having her annual "Boutique", where she sells all of the doll clothes that she has made. I am currently saving up my money to spend on stuff there. It's all so cute!

Hopefully, I'll be able to post some pictures soon! -Halley

Trick or Treat!

Hi Everyone! This year for Halloween, I'm going to be a witch! And next year... (I know... I'm already planning for next year!) I'm going to be Lucy (from I Love Lucy) when she wears a feedsack dress. It is going to be so funny! I'm going to buy burlap from a fabric store, and make the dress. I am so excited! What are you going to be for Halloween?

Happy Halloween, if I don't blog sooner to the 31st!

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!
