4th of July Celebrations

Hey everyone! Katherine here. Happy 4th of July to those in the USA! This year everyone wore red, white, blue so I made them take a group picture. :) 

Now A Doll's Life has an updated family photo!

I got individual pictures of each of the girls and they will say their favorite thing they did for the fourth of July! 

The dogs even dressed up! Their favorite part was probably the food that they got to eat.

Addy: My favorite part was family getting together. Thank you to all the veterans who fought so we could have freedom!

Katrina: The family and friends, no wait the food, no wait the fun games we played! Ahh, I can't choose a favorite!

Saige: Happy 4th! The fireworks by far were my favorite. THEY WERE SO COOL!

Rilynne: Happy 4th of July! So, as most of you know I'm from New Zealand. In NZ most people don't know what the 4th is since it's an American holiday! Back in my homeland it would be the start of winter so manderins are coming in season plus people are getting their winter coats out! Some people around this time also do a mid-winter Christmas since Christmas is during the summer in NZ. We also would get two weeks off from school since the second term ended. This was my first time celebrating the fourth and I would say the fireworks were my favorite! :)

Sydney: Everything was my favorite!

Anastasia: The food. So good! End of story.

Samantha: I liked dressing up!

Kailey: The games we played. By far my favorite thing!

(This is Katherine taking back over again)

Kailey wore her hair down! Doesn't she look so pretty?

A Spring Surprise {Part 2}

(Click *here* for Part 1 if you haven't already read it!)

She raised her hand into a wave. "I'm Rilynne."

Sydney waved back. "Hi, I'm Sydney! What are you doing here?"

"Well," Rilynne replied, "I'm not sure how to say this, but I was told this would be my new home."

"Oh, that's great! The more the merrier," Sydney smiled at her. "So where are you from?"

"I'm from New Zealand!" Rilynne replied. "It's so weird because right now it would be fall New Zealand; not spring!" 

"That is weird!" replied Sydney. "Well, we should get you settled in and introduce you to your new sisters!"

"Over there by the hopscotch is Katrina with the brown hair, Addy with the black hair, and then Kailey next to her."

All of the girls waved and said hello to Rilynne.

Sydney then led Rilynne over to Anastasia.

"Hi! I'm Anastasia - it's very nice to meet you!"

Saige immediately welcomed Rilynne, and of course the dogs did too.

"I absolutely LOVE dogs!" exclaimed Rilynne. "Back home in New Zealand there was this Corgi puppy I used to play with."

The girls kept talking as the walked along inside.

"So if you are from New Zealand then you are called a kiwi is that right?" asked Saige.

"Correct!' replied Rilynne.

"In theory, you could be a kiwi, eating a kiwi, and watching a kiwi? Right?" Saige asked again.

Rilynne laughed. "Yes, because the word kiwi has three different meanings: a native New Zealander, a fruit, and a bird."

"That's cool!" replied Sydney.

Since the other girls wanted to help get Rilynne settled, they worked on picking up their things.

Everyone, please welcome Rilynne to A Doll's Life family!

She will hopefully make a post soon introducing herself! Be on the lookout for that.

Did you guess from the last post that a new sister would be added to A Doll's Life family?

A Spring Surprise {Part 1}

It was the first day of spring and the dolls decided to go outside and celebrate.

Saige was playing fetch with the dogs.

The dogs, of course, loved playing fetch and would race each other to see who would get the stick first. 

Anastasia was practicing her guitar.

Sydney and Samantha were having a picnic together.

Katrina was playing hopscotch along with Addy and Kailey.

They were each doing their own thing when they heard a "Hello, is this A Doll's Life house?"

Samantha and Sydney were the first ones to hear this newcomer.  

"I was told that Katherine and the dolls lived here."

There was a girl standing there. Who was she???

~~~

Stay tuned for the next part to see who she is!

Do you have a guess who she is?

Also, Addy and Kailey are twinning - can you figure out how?

A Picnic and a Surprise {A Photo-story}

It was a hot summer day.

Anastasia was practicing her guitar.

Katrina was, well, know one knows exactly what she was doing. She was probably thinking or sleeping.

And Kailey was playing fetch with the dogs.

The other sisters were off in another room doing some other things.

"Hey guys," Kailey said. "We should do something."

"Okay, but what?" asked Katrina.

"Yes, I agree with Katrina. What should we do?" replied Anastasia.

"What about dress-up?" asked Kailey

"We've already done that."

"Okay, what about a bike ride?"

"It's too hot even for me," replied Anastasia.

"I know!" exclaimed Kailey. "What about a picnic?"

"That's perfect! Let's get the others."

Kailey and Katrina went to get the other sisters. 

Anastasia was putting her guitar away while.......

Kailey and Saige got some of the food.

"Do you need any help?" Addy asked Samantha and Sydney.

"No, but thank you Addy. We got it," they replied. 

Katrina got distracted and was playing fetch with the dogs.

Then they all helped spread out the blanket and dishes.

Kailey helped by distributing the food.

"This looks yummy!" exclaimed Katrina.

"Let's eat!" said Kailey.

Pretty soon all the food was gone. 

Samantha, Katrina, and Saige went to get a surprise for Kailey, Addy, and Sydney.

"Surprise Kailey!" Saige handed Kailey her very own doll.

"Thank you!" Kailey gave Saige a hug.

Sydney was surprised with mini Cecile and.... 

Addy got her own mini Addy.

Then they played with their dolls.

"Mini Samantha! Get off the bed!" cried mini Addy.

"Never!" declared mini Samantha has she jumped up and down on the bed.

Samantha and Addy laughed as Samantha made mini Samantha jump up and down.

"She looks almost exactly like me!" Kailey was so excited to finally get a doll. 

Kailey laid mini Julie on the bed to daydream about surfing.

Saige was making mini Kirsten fly and do flips in the air.

Sydney sat mini Cecile on the bed to watch the others.

And mini Felicity was spying on the other mini dolls.

"This is fun!" laughed Addy.
