Spring?

Spring?

It is only February, but there are signs that spring is coming! We have had lots of robins at the birdbath and Fina found crocuses coming up in the yard.

Adobe Building

Little Fina is going to have an adobe home of her own, but first she must help build it. Yesterday we applied plaster to the walls, but ran out and must get more. This will take some time, but should be a fun project and will keep Fina occupied.

It was a windy day and Fina and Elizabeth were bored. I let them play with a collection of treasures in my old jewelry box.

Stockshow Time for Fina

Little Fina is a cowgirl at heart and got to go to The National Western Stockshow in Denver. It is a huge event and she loved seeing all the animals and wanted to bring many of them home. Here are some highlights:

Josefina got a lot of presents this year, so now she and her sister Elena (Marisol) have a new home. There is still much to be done, but they are very happy with things so far.

We took lots of photos for Christmas and everyone got involved, every single American Girl doll that lives here! There are so many pics that I can't decide which ones to post, so I'm just going to put a link here to an album with all of them. Just click on the photo:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my wonderful friends!

Holly's New Hat

Isn't it cute! She got to help pick the buttons on it. We hope Tía knits hats for all of us!

Not Enough Snow

It snowed here for the first time this year and I was super excited. I put on my new outfit that I'd been dying to wear and ran outside with my sled. But, boy was I disappointed. It was melting fast and I guess we didn't really get enough anyway to cover the ground.

From American Girl Dolls

Oh, well. I headed back inside, but am asking all my friends to "THINK SNOW!"

I Did Go on a Plane

Well, I did get to go on a plane, but otherwise my trip was not very exciting. I stayed in a hotel room with little Fina for company, and only got one photo taken of myself. There was another taken with the phone in the airplane, but it did not turn out. Oh well, at least I did go somewhere and I was a comfort to my human who needed me along so she would not feel lonely. Such is the life of a doll sometimes. Oh, and I got a new dress and shoes out of it, too!

Traveling!

Guess what! I am going on an airplane tomorrow for the first time. I am so excited. I get to wear my new red dress and sparkly red shoes. It's late and we have to get up super early, so no time for a pic, but we will take some on the trip.

Hugs ~ Kiki

Saying Good-bye

We have had sisters Tirya and Emi visiting from Oregon and now it is time for them to go home. *sniff sniff* We all took a photo together to remember their visit. We will miss them and write LOTS of emails to stay in touch.

Here is a photo of the current modern girls that live here with me. In the back starting on the left is Luci, then me (Kiki) and Aria. In the front are the twins Eva and Mia. Aria is the newest girl, but she has lived here for a few months so she already fits right in. I have to say we are all really different, but get along very well. Hope you aren't tired of seeing our treehouse. We love it! More later!

Hello!

Hi friends! The gang and I are still here and are sorry for the long break between posts. We've had a busy summer and fall and lots of fun. Tirya and Emi have both been here for awhile. They are our bestest, bestest ever and forever friends! Holly has been at their house with Kelsyee, which is her BFF. We've had fun camping, riding horses and playing games we make up.

I promise to write more soon and miss you all!

hugs from all of us,
Kiki

Pippi's Camping Trip

Pippi came to live with us only one day before Tía was leaving for a camping trip. She begged to go along, so of course Tía said yes. She sat in the back of the teardrop trailer waiting to get going.

From Pippi

Pippi said her favorite parts of the trip were hiking (even though she did get tired)...

...seeing wildflowers...

Camping with Kiki and Emi

Hi Everyone! Here are Emi and I at our campsite way up in the mountains. We followed a river that went up a canyon to get here.



Don't we look a lot alike? Everyone says so. I have yellow ties in my hair and Emi has blue. Tía said we had to put the rainfly over the tent just in case.



We went hiking everyday.



And we got to eat yummy food.



I'll post a few more pics later.

A High Desert Hike

This is Traveling Sophie's last week here, so I wanted to show her one of my favorite places to explore. We started out walking along a little trail...



...and then Sophie saw some really strange plants!


And I had to tell her not to touch them because they are sharp! She felt like she was on another planet, but I told her this was normal for a high desert to have cacti. That is plural for cactus in case you thought that was an alien plant!


Then we went on toward the forest...


...and took a little break under the pine trees.


We had to admire the view:


I begged Tía to let us climb up in one tree because I've seen so many photos of dolls in trees this spring.


From up in the tree we saw a train going by way down below.


The End!
