Tea Time

This week I decided to have a tea party. My Mom helped me bring my table and chairs all the way downstairs. She even said I could set it up outside!

My dog Jack and my Nellie doll were guests.

It was so warm outside I almost got to put on shorts. My Mom did let me wear one of my summer dresses.

 Jack was supposed to be Samantha at the tea party. 

I imagined the party would happen out on the lawn of Samantha's Gramary's house. Of course Samantha would have her favorite doll, Clara.

I think Samantha would let Nellie borrow her Peter Pan doll.

I think I am going to read my Nellie book tonight.

Spring Break

This past week was spring vacation. NO SCHOOL!!! Every day I tried to do something outside. On Tuesday Emily, Samantha and Molly came over.  Molly insisted we all try to get a tan.  I took a picture because we all thought it would be funny. Especially since Molly insisted on wearing a bathing suit.

The Feast of Saint Patrick

March 17th is the feast of Saint Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland. 

 This is a statue of Saint Patrick Nellie keeps on her dresser. It reminds her of the Irish people's struggle to overcome the Druid intellectuals.

Nellie and I decided to wear our best green dresses to celebrate the fertile green countryside of Ireland.

Nellie and I went to mass to celebrate the day.

Snow Day!

Last night a big snowstorm hit Michigan

School was canceled!  I called Dakota to come over and play in the snow.

   

I waited at the door in anticipation.  When would Dakota get here?

 Dakota finally arrived.

 
We decided to make a snowman.

Frosty loves his new home.

New Year Resolution

This weekend I was reading my new Meet Rebecca book when Becky and her Mom stopped over.

Becky and I hung out in the family room while our my Mom talked with her Mom.

 We played with my new eight ball and talked about our favorite American Girl books.

Talking with Becky about all of the super American Girl books made me decide to finish reading Meet Rebecca. I am now inspired to read a little every day.

Aloha, Kanani!

 Girl of the Year Club

Lindsey, Kailey, Marisol, Nicki and Lanie

It's a new year and that means time for a new American Girl Friend.  My pals from the girl of the year club are super excited to have a new member. Her name is Kanani and she is from Hawaii. I have her books and can't wait to finish reading all about Kanani and her adventures in American Girl land.  Hey who knows maybe Kanani will come for a visit!  In the meantime the girl of the year club members will just have to be happy with my books.
