Waiting for Santa

This blog is dedicated to Daddy. Happy birthday, Daddy! ❤️

'Mommy? Mommy?'
A little voice floated through the night into Mommy's sleep. 
'Mmph', Mommy mumbled and she reached out and switched on the light. 
'Mommy, are you awake?' said the little voice. 
Mommy opened her eyes. 
'I'm awake, Sophie,' she said, focusing on the cherub face in front of her. 
'Mommy I can't sleep,' said Sophie quietly. 
Max grumbled and woofed. He was of the opinion that little dollies should be in bed at such a late hour. 
Mommy sat up and reached out to Sophie. Sophie put her tiny hands in Mommy's braced hand. 
'What's wrong, honey?' said Mommy. 
'Well, we can't sleep, because we're too excited waiting for Santa.' 
'We?' inquired Mommy. 
'We're all here,' called musical voices from the floor beside the bed.
'Come on up, girls,' said Mommy, sitting up in bed. Sophie sat down and said, 'Can you read us a story until we get tired?' 
'What book would you like me to read?' 
'Mariah's book!' exclaimed 4 voices, one still from the floor. Mommy reached for the book from the chair next to the bed.
'Everyone choose an affirmation friend,' she said. 
Aria grabbed Puzzle. Melody snuggled Foxy. Sophie wrapped her arms around Prism Sprite and Sonata sat with Narwhal Nick.
'Mommy, can I braid your hair while you read?' asked Aria.
Mommy said she could. Aria handed Puzzle to Melody and Mommy helped Aria climb up behind her. 
Mommy started to read as Aria braided. She showed them the pictures (Aria read over her shoulder).
The girls marveled at the pictures. They recognized the dolls from the blog online.
'There's Mariah!' said Sophie, pointing. 
'Look! It's Charlotte!' cried Aria from behind Mommy's head, nearly toppling over.
Aria climbed down from Mommy's shoulder. 
Melody patted the bed in front of her. 
'I'll braid your hair now, Aria,' she said. Aria sat, Melody braided and Mommy continued. 
As Mommy read, the dolls got sleepy. Sophie snuggled against Mommy's side, hugging Prism Sprite tightly. Melody and Aria stretched out with their friends. Soon Sonata was the only one awake. 
Mommy finished reading and put the book back on the chair. She gathered her girls together, careful not to stir them. She covered them gently with the blanket, kissed each one and laid down. Soon they were all asleep. So deep in fact, that no one even heard the footsteps on the roof or the muffled 'ho ho ho'.
They didn't even hear the tinkling of the bells on the tree as Santa left their presents. 
'Merry Christmas,' said Santa, as he flew away on his sleigh, wiping milk from his mustache and holding the last cookie, the reindeer happily crunching carrots as they gained height.
The End. 

Merry Christmas, everyone! - love from Aria, Melody, Sophie, Sonata and Mommy 🎄

Louisa Runs Away

Image
 Louisa snapped her book shut.  She was reading a riviting story.  In the story, the little girl ran away.  She even took a train!  She found it to be an interesting idea.  Maybe she should run away, too! She turned to tell Clarence her great idea.  But he seemed to be asleep in his chair.  He always fell asleep when she read aloud to him.  She patted him on his fluffy head.  He quietly mooed in his sleep.  Louisa wondered if he was dreaming about grazing in lush green grass. Time to get ready! She hopped up and grabbed a backpack off the dresser.  Which was no easy feat because she had to climb the dresser first.  That's one thing that was true about all the dolls in this family.  They were all good climbers. After she got the backpack, she put her curly hair back in a ponytail.  She didn't want her hair in her face while she was running away.  She picked up Scooter, assuming he would want to come along and made her way out the bedroom door

A Special Storytime

Image
Mommy had received some great mail this week. The one thing was something they'd been waiting a long time for. It was the second book from The Doll's Storybook. All the dolls followed the blog. They were all big fans and were really excited about the new book. This one was about Emil and his brother. Since the girls didn't have a brother, they were very interested to see how different the boys were from themselves. It being Saturday, the dolls knew it was story time. Whenever they gathered for story time, they would pick a girl to read. Today it was Aria's turn again. The second piece of mail, Mommy kept to herself. It was a suprise. The girls all lined up to chose their story time Affirmation Pal. Andi and Lily were in the front of the line, so they chose first. Andi chose Buttercup the Yak. Lily chose Rainbow Sprite. They carried them up Max's ramp to the bed. Rainbow Sprite was bigger than Lily. She co

The New Room

Image
Daddy had finished the bedroom.  There was new paint on the ceiling and walls, a new floor, and he was building new furniture.  Mommy was over the moon.  This beachside type room is the room she'd been dreaming about since she was a little girl.  Finally her dream was coming true, thanks to Daddy. The time came to show the girls.  She brought everyone in.  Everyone had been living on the couch in a pile.  One by one, Mommy lifted them, gave them a hug and a kiss, brushed their hair and steered them toward the bedroom. Each doll had a different response. Aria, who was barefoot, walked along the new floor, feeling the grain of the wood under her toes.  She was happy the carpet was gone.  She felt that with this floor maybe she wouldn't fall over so much. Sophie liked the changes to the room.  She walked around and quickly discovered the new bed Mommy had bought for TJ, the little Pom.  She bounced on it, checking it's cushiness.  Grabbing Mommy's K
