American Girl Lanie Email Picture!

Some people have gotten an email about the American Girl of the Year 2010, with a sneak peek picture of Lanie's bunny and some of her dress! It is awesome!

 

I think her dress and shoes are adorable, and of course her bunny too! The email advertisement above also says that January 1st through the 3rd they are having special events for Lanie Holland at the American Girl stores. Also, January 1st only, the first 100 girls in line at each store will get a free goody bag. I wish an American Girl Place was closer where I live. :)

Only 10 days until the American Girl of the Year 2010 is revealed!

The Lighted Christmas Walk Festival!

Abbey and Addy had been looking forward to this night since the first of December! Tonight they were going to the Annual Lighted Christmas Walk Festival in town! Abbey and Addy got all dressed up in their fancy coats, there was a big night ahead of them!

 

As they were walking through some of the snow not yet melted, the moon shown brightly, making shadows of the girls. They both couldn't keep their excitement in, so they both talked on the short walk to town.

"Abbey I am so excited! I know you have seen the lights before, but this is my first time!" Addy told Abbey.

"Oh, it is very exciting," Abbey said sweetly,"I am so happy you could come with me! I know lots of our friends are busy getting things ready for Christmas."

As they were talking they were getting nearer and nearer to town! You see, every year Sunny Meadow has lights all spread out at different destinations of the town. Everyone walks on the sidewalks looking at them, and they are beautiful!

When they got there Abbey couldn't wait to get started walking through the sidewalks! There were lights everywhere! Some lights in the beginning, just made them want to see more! 

"Addy, look at that pointsettia! It is so beautiful!" Abbey pointed out.

"Wow!" That is all Addy could say, because she was so overwhelmed. They didn't have any annual lights festival where she used to live in Philadelphia.

They continued to go through all the lights, and they had a lot of favorites!

 

The girls loved the penguins with the igloo! They were so cute!

 

"Look, how cool!," Abbey spoke up as they came to lights of lots of men and women in old-fashioned clothes,"Their clothes are beautiful!" Addy could tell that this would be Abbey's favorite of all the lights.

 

There were lots of lights that moved too! The reindeer flying over the pine tree, was one of them.

 

After seeing more than 100 different lights, they were nearing the end. The last light was of course...Santa Claus! The girls giggled as the lighted Santa waved at everyone. After a full night of fun, the girls started walking back home, and what would you know...

 

...Some lights at home greeted them too! :)

 

Christmas Tree Decorating!

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. :)
