Favorite Christmas memories:
Probably my favorite memories of Christmas would be of my dad reading The Christmas Story from Luke and one Christmas at The Ranch with Mom and Dad, we cut down our own tree and made homemade decorations and that was the Christmas I got my American Girl Doll, Kirsten! I can still smell the new of my doll and I remember how her hair was done and everything she was wearing, and I remember Mom smiled so big when I opened the box and squealed with delight!
Some Random Things that make THIS Christmas Special:
Gift shopping, setting up the Christmas tree and Dad fixing our old angle's lights that hadn't worked in years!
Marita and I joining the Family Gift Exchange for the first time this year.
Baking some goodies for our family Christmas.
The family gathering together.
Well there it is! That was fun!

Hello, Auntie!! :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know you had an American girl doll!! But it's a beautiful memory for you! :)
Actually I have a few American Girl dolls.. they're all packed away tho and I haven't seen them in quite a few years. Kind of miss them...:( :P
DeleteThey have hundreds! ;) Lol I remember being so jealous! I lost track of all you have Riss.
DeleteBut I remember Kirsten, Kaya, Elizabeth, Molly, Kit (or was that Mete?) Marita had Addy... ah see! I can't remember. *winks*
Does one of you have Felicity? Wait doesn't someone had Samantha too?
Deletehave*
DeleteMarita has Samantha - I remember because her hat looked new and mine looks so old. It hung on her curtain rod for years, and I when we packed up her room I took it down and looked at it.
DeleteI think they both have Kaya? Or am I crazy? I remember playing with two of them. and for the longest time I thought there where two Indian dolls, because Marissa and Marita told me they had two names. One was Ka-ya and the other was Kay-a. ;P Or am I making this up? ;P
And I loved looking at them all on their shelves.
Those dolls. <3 Now I want to take out Samantha and comb her hair... ;P
I have Felicity, Kersten,Kaya, Elizabeth, kit?, Nelly.. lol I can't remember who all.. Marita has a lot too we both have Kaya:)
