Just Call them "Kit" and "Mia"

Here they are!

My darling girls and the
American Girl Dolls that Santa brought.
Scooter now goes by "Kit"
and Tilly will answer to "Mia"!

Mommy was busy in December
making sure that "the Girls"
all had enough matching outfits!
Here they are in the outfits that match the ones that
the dolls came wearing...They were part of the package
each girl got from Daddy and Mommy on Christmas.

Actually, Scooter has been wearing the hat...
everywhere...
since July!
Snorkie is bummed that they don't make
American Boy Dolls...
He wants a "Sterling" doll...That is the little boy in the
Kit Kitteridge movie ...(which Scooter also got from Santa).
I have to say, I think he is right.
These are photos taken yesterday,
of the girls and their dolls in their Skating Outfits....
Mia was last year's Doll of the Year.
She is and Figure Skater, and also plays Hockey.
Tilly is wearing her matching hockey jersey that
we fashioned using an adult small sweat shirt
and fabric markers... Tilly did some of the coloring herself.
We went down to Yardley, Borough,
where we used to live, to skate on the "Lake".
Last week, I broke down and bought skates for all of us...
except Snorkie's...I got those from "Freecycle"!
The girl's skates are made by RollerBlade...
They adjust to three sizes!m WooHoo!
Mine were on sale, and I don't think my feet will
be getting too much bigger...
It feels good to get out there, but I must say,
Skating Rink ice is a whole lot easier to navigate!
In all honesty, I fell backwards yesterday...
and I'm still nursing a "goose egg" on my head...
The worst part is, I wasn't even Moving at the time!
The girls throw themselves around with abandon...
I'm glad they are much more daring than I was
when I was that age...
'course, I got more daring as I got older,
and that isn't so bad either!

Christmas Greetings

It was well past the twelfth Day of Christmas
before Elizabeth had time to add a new post
to the poor neglected "Blog Baby"...

We took this photo just after we walked in from
Christmas Mass.
What a lovely day.
Santa brought the girls the American Girl dolls
that they wanted SOOOOOOO much,
and Snorkie got a Remote Controlled WALL-e.
We played some and had
hot fresh cinnamon buns before Mass.
Then we opened presents from Mom & Dad,
and each other after we got home...
I really enjoyed letting JESUS take First Place
on Christmas Morning!
We visited Lovey's Mom and Step-Dad,
Sister, Brother-in- Law, and nephews
in the late afternoon....
after we made our own Pizzas and calzones!
YUM.
I hope to be able to carve out
some "blog time" in the near future...
God Bless you all & Happy New Year!
