With only less then 6 more days until Christmas Molly, Elizabeth, Kit, Mia, Abbey, and Addy all gathered together to put up and decorate the Christmas tree!
Molly and Addy carried the artificial tree down the attic stairs, and straightened out its branches to make it look nicer. As they were doing this, Mia, Abbey, and Molly were waiting for Kit, who was getting all the ornaments and decorations.
"Hey, Everyone I got all the ornaments!" Kit said with excitement as she came into the room. Kit set down the ornaments, which were pretty heavy.
"Wow, look at all the new ornaments! They are beautiful!" Mia said looking through the basket of ornaments.
"Well, are we ready to decorate?" Molly piped up surveying the now-straightened tree.
"Yep, I think all is ready!" Elizabeth called.
Abbey and Addy put on the first decorations, and then everyone took turns decorating the Christmas tree.
The tree started filling up with decorations! From shiny balls to candy cane ornaments the tree looked beautiful!
While putting on ornaments, Molly found time to pose for Kit who was busy taking pictures too. :)
It then came time to put on the tree topper-a golden star! Addy got to put on the star, since the tradition is that the newest girl in the family that year gets to put it on. Addy slid it gently on, while balancing on the chair carefully. After Addy climbed down, they were ready to light the tree!
The whole room glowed as the white lights of the tree reflected off the walls and the faces of the girls. Everyone fell silent keeping this moment.
After a few minutes, Elizabeth spoke up and she had a tray in her hands. "Since we are done with the tree, does anyone want some cookies and hot chocolate?"
As they all ate their yummy cookies and hot chocolate, they couldn't wait for Christmas to be here. :)
Firstie! I love it!

Oh yeah and I forgot to say that i put up my dolls Christmas tree and I found some mini ornaments we found at the store. They really ARE mini, and i love them. P.S. I knitted a little money wallet for i think Samantha, Kirsten is getting a hot chocolate cup, and Julie is getting some really cute stuff and Haley some cooking supplies (because she LOVES to cook!) Love, Hannah A.!!!!

Oh yes! I made a picture story of my dolls as well! As I mentioned earlier, I only have Kirsten and Rebecca, so it is a bit hard to do a really good photo story. I hope to start a blog too! Rebecca made me some latkes for Hanukkah (even though I celebrate Christmas)and Kirsten made me some Lussekat buns. Rebecca had fun decorating our tree (my mom gave me an extra mini tree we had!) even though she is Jewish! She doesn't have a menorah yet!

Thank you all for the comments! I am so glad you all enjoyed the photostory! :D
Hannah A.-My mom got me the little Christmas tree from a L.T.D. Catalog about 4 years ago! I used it as a decoration for my room. I didn't realize until last year that it is perfect for my dolls! :)
Have a great day! :)
