Bekah and her Doll

It is tradition that our grandmother always gets all of her grand children a raggedy Ann doll for there first Christmas. So there is Bekah......with her doll isn't she so cute!!!

Bekah Has A Basket Too!

Rebekah discovered that she could lie down under the laundry basket, so she did it in the middle of the floor all day( afternoon ). Here are some of my pics.
Hannah even squeezed into one of the baskets too!!!

OK, now leave me alone so I can nap.

Snow Shoeing on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving day we decided to go snow shoeing up in the experimental forest. It was BEAUTIFUL!! Mom, dad, and I all brought our cameras.....dad only took a picture of a leaf! Dad loves the outdoors, so every time he got ahead (which felt like every minute, because mom, Hannah, and I were collecting bows for our advent wreath) he looked out at at the sky.

Hannah and I decided to snow shoe.

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!On the way back home we discovered 4 sets of animal tracks!

Can you guess what they are?

Indian Dress for Kit

I am studying India , and had just read a paragraph in my history book about traditional dress when I had a great idea......I thought that it would be cool if I made an Indian dress for my doll, Kit. It was a great experience, and I thought I would share it with you.

Cutting It Out
First I went to Walmart and bought piece of fabric in a nice color of orange.
Then I cut it in half .

Wrapping .
First take one of the halves and wrap it around her waist 2 times. Now pinch 4 to 6 pleats.
Next I put a rubber band around Kit's waist to hold the fabric in place. (Indian women tuck the fabric into their petticoat.) You need to be careful not to unravel the pleats. Finally, I folded the fabric in half and brought it up under her left arm and over her right shoulder.

All Finished!!
I cut out a small red dot of felt and stuck it on Kit's forehead. This shows that an Indian woman is married.
