Happy Easter! Easter is such a wonderful and fun holiday! My dolls think so too! They had a great day today which included an Easter egg hunt and other surprises!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early in the morning the girls woke up and got dressed in spring colors. They said "Happy Easter" to each other.
Kit suddenly had a thought. "Hey girls, let's see if we got an Easter basket!"
Elizabeth, Addy, Abbey, Molly, and Mia all gasped forgetting all about easter baskets. Then they all excitedly say, "Yes, let's go." and rush quickly down the hallway to discover...
Six easter baskets containing an egg with a surprise inside, a chocolate bunny, and a Cadbury chocolate egg! They all went over to their baskets, so excited!
"Wow,"Molly exclaimed,"this all looks yummy!"
Later that afternoon, they had an Easter egg hunt, curtuosy of Kit's mom. After the eggs were hid the girls gathered around the baskets.
"There is only three baskets, and there are six of us. What are we going to do?" Abbey exclaimed.
"I know! We can team up in pairs!" Addy said.
"Yeah, we can like help each other, and find eggs together...but share the candy." Mia said not forgetting about the sharing the candy part.
"Ok, the only thing we need to do is find partners." Elizabeth said.
"Ok, the only thing we need to do is find partners." Elizabeth said.
"Molly, let's be a group, we are both wearing purple!" Kit said excitedly.
"Sure! We are the Purple-girls!" Molly agreed and also giggled.
"Abbey, how about we're a group!" Mia said while holding a basket.
"Ok, this is going to be fun!" Abbey, in her sweet voice, said.
"Do you want to be a group, Elizabeth?" Addy asked.
"Sure! Here's a basket." Elizabeth replied.
After all of the eggs were hidden, the egg hunt started!
"Come on Abbey, it's starting!!!" Mia said loudly.
"Ok, ok, I'm coming! I'm just tying my shoelace!"
Meanwhile, the other girls were finding brightly colored plastic eggs.
"Yay, you got one!" Molly said excited.
"It's not purple though," Kit said,"but it still great!"
"ooh, that's a good one." Mia exclaimed.
"Yep!" Abbey responded.
"Oh, my goodness! There is one up there. See, Addy!" Elizabeth said while pointing to the egg way up in the tree.
"How can we get it down?" Addy questioned.
"I can climb trees, how about I climb and get it?" Elizabeth said determined to get that egg.
"Go ahead." Addy said, glad she didn't have to climb the tree, she didn't like climbing them.
Elizabeth climbed and was almost there.
"Oomph, I almost have it." Elizabeth said, really to herself while stretching her hand as far as she could.
Elizabeth's fingers reached the egg, and she grabbed it.
"I got it!" Elizabeth yelled down to Addy.
She then climbed back down, and met Addy at the bottom.
"You got it Elizabeth," Addy said amazed,"Your a great tree-climber!"
"Well, I have had some practice." Elizabeth smiled and panted.
Uh-oh, Molly and Abbey both are grabbing the same exact egg!
"oops, Sorry Molly!" Abbey said, while they both noticed each other.
"You can have it." the generous Molly offered.
"No, no you were here first." Abbey said not accepting.
"Well, ok,"Molly responded,"Sorry about bumping into you."
"No problem." Abbey smiled kindly.
Once all of the eggs, or at least almost all of them were found the girls trudged back to the deck and sat down on the outside swing, and look through their eggs.
"Hey everyone, look I got a duck! It's so cute!" Elizabeth said examining the the duck.
"I got a necklace!" Molly said.
"Hey Molly, I got a necklace too! It's a different necklace though." Addy said while showing it to Molly.
"Want a jelly bean, Abbey?"
"Thanks!" Abbey said while grabbing the jelly bean.
They all had fun looking at what their eggs contained. :)
After looking at their eggs they played tag and other games on this Beautiful sunny day! They then rested a little while so they could tell you...
"HAPPY EASTER!"
Ps~ Here are some bonus Behind-the-scenes pictures! :)
Here is a picture from the scene when Abbey and Molly see each other grabbing the same egg. We have towels down because it was a little wet (but not really wet, just wet at the bottom of the grass), because it rained the day before. The Laundry basket is where I transported my six dolls all over the backyard. :)
My Wonderful helper and sister, Hope. She helped me pose the dolls and help them stand. (it was really windy that day, and the dolls kept falling over, so she held their legs.) Thank you SO much Hope, you were such a big help!:)
Here is me holding two of my dolls Abbey and Mia.
I will show you more behind the scene pictures some other time! :)
Have a Great Easter! :)
Cute! Happy Easter! My dolls are all dressed in their fancy Easter dresses and they are going to have an Easter egg hunt later today, too! I'll post some pictures....
Happy Easter (or whatever other holiday people celebrate) again!

Happy Easter! That's an adorable story! My dolls shared a basket with candy in it they were very excited! I also made a banana cake with a peep in the middle and jelly beans around it!:)

Hey Anne,
Thanks! :) We are at my grandmother's house and I dressed up my dolls! :) They are both in home-made stuff! :)
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 12, 2009 at 06:30 PM
Hi everyone! :)
Wow, I was so surprised to get this many comments already! Thanks so much!
Quinlyn, I got an Easter Basket from my parents! :) In it was candy, like chocolate Reese eggs, opera cream eggs, and a chocolate bunny. I also got 15 dollar Starbucks gift card, and I got a necklace that is a silver heart with black hearts and squigles on the front, and on the back it says "Courage to Dream". I love everything! :)
Have a great rest of your day everyone! :)

Liz, did what day did you do this on? Sorry, I know that was random XD.
Posted by: Abbie | April 12, 2009 at 07:59 PM
Abbie,
I did it yesterday, Saturday April 11th. :) Sorry, about not mentioning what day I did it on. Also, don't worry that wasn't random! (I would have asked that too.;)
Have a great day! :)

Hey Liz!
I sent you a picture of my dolls, but I didn't include the information. Is that ok? I think you know everything except that my Bitty Twin's name is Jessica.
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 12, 2009 at 08:08 PM
Quinlyn,
Oh, it's ok that you didn't include the information! I got your email, and will post your picture this week! :)
Thank you for asking! :)
~Liz~
Posted by: Liz (An American Girl Fan) | April 12, 2009 at 08:43 PM
Hey Liz,
Thank you! :) Also, did you read my comment about Addy's real name being Aduke?
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 12, 2009 at 09:06 PM
Where did you get those little Easter baskets, Liz? :)
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 12, 2009 at 09:23 PM
Quinlyn,
Yes, I did see that comment. Thanks so much for telling me! I had no idea! I haven't read the Addy books, but I do have the first book that came with her. :)
Also, I got the easter basket from a yard sale. There really is only one basket! My dad made it look like there were six.I have lots of tricks! :)
I love when people ask questions, thanks so much for the comments! :)
~Liz~
Posted by: Liz (An American Girl Fan) | April 12, 2009 at 09:45 PM
Thanks for telling me, Liz!!!!
Posted by: Abbie | April 12, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Hey Liz,
Thanks! :) I love you responding and getting answers! Neat that you made it look like there were 6! :) I do have one more question: are you going to get any more dolls?
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 12, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Liz, how do you keep Addy's hair nice because I might get her, but I want to keep her hair lovely. It must be hard considering it's textured. You keep it so nice! Thanks in advance =). ~Abbie
Posted by: Abbie | April 12, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Hi Girls! :)
Abbie-The way I keep Addy's hair nice is by using the Sparkly Hair Pick I bought from American Girl.American Girl says to use it for curly or textured hair. It works Wonderful, and is not hard to use at all! If you get her I would get the Sparkly Hair Pick too, it's 6 dollars. Thanks so much for the compliment on her hair! I love my Addy! :)
Quinlyn-Your welcome! Well, I don't know if I will get anymore. I really like a few of the Just Like You dolls, but I will have to wait and see. (I might like Rebecca or the Girl of the Year next year...) 6 dolls for me is just enough right now. :)
Thanks for the comments! :)
~Liz~

Hey Liz!
I love that outfit Kit has on-and she looks so nice in it!
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 13, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Thank you so much for replying! Addy is such a sweet doll, and I want to get her sometime, but I am thankful for the seven dolls I have right now. I don't think I will get anymore for a while. I just got Chrissa in February so no more dolls for a while....
Posted by: Abbie | April 13, 2009 at 12:33 PM
I just noticed that the day that you did your photos was my birthday!!! I was eating cake and you were playing with dolls! LOL!
Posted by: Savanna | April 13, 2009 at 01:25 PM
LOL, Savanna =D. BTW, are you by any chance Ivyfan2009 on the ourdolls.net message board? I'm Princesspeach7 on there! Well, I'm going to go check on that!
Posted by: Abbie | April 13, 2009 at 01:29 PM
Yes! I am Abbie!
Posted by: Savanna | April 13, 2009 at 02:03 PM
Liz, if you made extra baskets that were fake, are some of your dolls fake? LOL! That was just a joke!!!!! That's really cool that you can make multiples!
Posted by: Savanna | April 13, 2009 at 03:55 PM
Hi Savanna,
Nope the dolls are real. ;) hehe. :)
I think it is really cool too! My dad is great with computer stuff! :)
Have a great day! :)
~Liz~
Posted by: Liz (An American Girl Fan) | April 13, 2009 at 04:37 PM
He he he! I thought of that so I just had to say it (as a joke)! Ha ha ha!
Posted by: Savanna | April 13, 2009 at 04:59 PM
Hey Liz!
Guess what! My little brother and I made a video of Kirsten going to a hotel, and when Kirsten was checking in, the person at the desk said: that will be $25 dollars. Kirsten pretended to put down money, and then the person at the desk said: there's no money there. And then Kirsten said, Picky picky. Fine, if you have no imagination. :D
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 13, 2009 at 05:13 PM
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's SO funny Quinlyn!
Posted by: Savanna | April 13, 2009 at 05:16 PM
Hey Savanna!
Thanks! :D It was pretty funny! :)
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 13, 2009 at 05:39 PM
Hey Savanna,
Also, Kirsten picked up a cup and she was like, Do you ever CLEAN these dishes? YOU try to eat off of these. :D
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 13, 2009 at 05:47 PM
That's awesome Quinlyn!
I just had one of our family "fancy" dinners. LOL. I played with my four month old nephew and he got his first Easter basket. He even knew what it was he reached right for it. It was soo cute.:)
I also got a resees egg, Liz, my brother in law is obsessed with them.:) LOL
Posted by: Anne | April 13, 2009 at 06:50 PM
Thanks, Anne! :) That is amazing that he knew what the basket was! :) That would be cute. :) Do you ever make videos with your dolls?
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 13, 2009 at 07:00 PM
I have made many doll movies! I love to make movies and I even have my own video camera!
Posted by: Savanna | April 14, 2009 at 11:49 AM
does anyone here have one of the three new GOTYS?
Posted by: Emma | April 14, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Hey Savanna!
That is so great that you have your own video camera! I just make the movies with my regular camera that has a video setting. The outcome is not near as good as a video camera video. :( I also made a long video with my little brother (his name is Michael by the way) and it was called, "Good-Looking General Hospital". How did we come up with that? Well, on the Curious George show, George saw "Handsome General Hospital". We did it so Kirsten had "misplaced her brain" and she had a bandage around her head, Michael's doll Tommy was the doctor, and Julie was nurse. :)
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 14, 2009 at 12:03 PM
Hey Emma!
No, I don't have any of the new GOTYS, but I think Gwen is really cute! :)
Posted by: Quinlyn | April 14, 2009 at 12:05 PM
Cool. I asked that because I want one but I want to know which one is best quality, prettiest, nicest or most versatile outfit et cetera.
Posted by: Emma | April 14, 2009 at 12:12 PM
that is so cute
Posted by: abby | January 02, 2011 at 09:12 AM
