The Time Of The Year Has Come Back

E = Elizabeth
A = Astrid
R = Rebecca




E: It is that time of the year. That one. The one where mom picks out who is joining the family next.


R: Except this year it is different.


E: Shut up Rebecca.


R: Sure....


E: This year, we can't tell you. We know a tiny bit about her, but nothing else. We know what she looks like, but we still can't tell you.


A: Zip.


R: Nadah.


E: BUT, Mom gave us permission to tell you of someone else joining the family in about six months!



R: Yes, she did give us permission to do that.



E: In about six months, joining the family is.....

ADUKE WALKER!

R: Interesting name.

E: Yeah....

A: At least I won't be the newest doll anymore.

Ryder's Cold Photo's

R = Ryder



R: IT. IS. COLD. Our mom loves it, but she ALWAYS loves the cold, no matter how bitter and brutal, she LOVES it. And she made me bundle up for a photo shoot out there about a week ago....

Cold. Even in the sunlight. It maybe broke thirty degrees (Fahrenheit) today. 

Freezing. Cold.

I need thicker pants.

Maybe a ski suit.

Come gloves perhaps.

A Photo Shoot From Our Trip To Florida

M = Mini Marie-Grace





M: So while we were in Florida I got a photo shoot done! It was awesome!

Here I am by a tree with Spanish Moss on it, kinda creepy, but cool!

And now I'm on a tree!

Comfy.

This is an orange tree in the backyard! 

And a shot of the spanish moss tree, the orange tree, and the other little one!

Such pretty flowers.

And this, is an area off to the side of the yard, kind of like a miniature Florida jungle!

That was all from our vacation, nothing more happened too much.

The Doll,

Hi again!

M = Marie Grace

E = Elliot

K = Kaya




E: It is so awesome down here!


M: I know! I wish we could change clothes though, I just want mom to let us pick them out, I don't want her picking ours out...


E: Why wouldn't you want her picking out our clothes?


M: Because, well, today she was wearing those shorts that are kinda short, and that tank top....


K: So what if mom wears shorts that aren't very long? She can't help it! She has long legs!


E: Yeah!



K: And she wore that tank top because it is hot here in Florida! So what if it is thin enough to show the pink of her stomach, and low enough on the neck to make her relatives cringe....



E: You see Marie Grace, she loves that shirt, not only did her mom give it to her to wear, she loves the white with the green embroidery, and the lace straps, and the white ribbon and the cut of the hem.



K: Exactly.



M: Oh, I see. Anyway, it is still sto beautiful here in Florida!




The Dolls,

Elliot, Kaya, and Marie Grace in Florida!

E = Elliot
K = Kaya
M = Marie Grace



E: So if you are wondering, yes, us mini's are in Florida! Ryder was supposed to go, but a change in things has left it that mom had limited packing room, so we came instead!


K: It is HOT down here!


E: Uh, DUH! This is FLORIDA!


K: Uh huh... Anyway, we should mention, before beginning the rest of the post, that we will be posting LIVE daily all week long! This could mean up to three posts a day!



E: On to what we are doing....



M: So last night mom stayed up with her mom all day and night so that her mom would be okay driving by herself. So everyone is tired... That was pretty much the whole entire night of driving.

E: Here we all are!

E: Close up of me!

And Kaya,

And Marie Grace.

E: Marie? 

M: Yeah,

E: How are you surviving in those clothes?!

M: I am just being proper like I should!

E: Take them off! We're on VACATION! In FLORIDA!

M: Okay....

M: WOW THIS DOES FEEL GOOD!

E: DUH!!!

K: LOOK AT MY HAIR!

K: NOW I'M BEING ATHLETIC!

M: Uhhh, okay..

E: LOOK AT US!

Room Decor and Other Stuff

R = Ryder

F = Felicity

F; Hello everyone! So sorry for our lack of posting.... We don't have easy access to a computer much anymore. So, today mother redecorated our rooms for Fall and Christmas!

So here is the first room at the foot of the bed we have a little rug and a pumpkin that looks yellow here but is actually white.

And this is the bed with a quilt and red pillow and stuffed bunny.

Next is the more decorated room.

It has a hand knitted mitten that used be mom's, a small ornament, our slightly smaller rocking chair, a nice fur rug, our pine-cone Christmas tree, a cloth wreath, and a teddy bear, a larger ornament, and a bell like the ones on Santa's sleigh! It is so cozy there. 

We are all dressed in our Christmas attire as well! It is very early for this, we know, but the reason why mom did this all now, Ryder will tell you.

R: The reason mom did this all now is because mom has a great aunt who has cancer, and isn't doing well. So..... They are going down to Florida to be with her and the other family down or going down there as well. And because mom will be gone the days she usually does the decorating she did it early for us. Also... I'm going to Florida! Astrid said she didn't want to go, and mom liked the idea of me going somewhere, so in around a week-ish, we are leaving and going down!

F: So, that is what is going on......

R: Yup.
