American Girls

WHO remembers American Girl dolls?
Of course you do.
WHO loved their doll SO MUCH and wished they lived in the time period of said doll.
I DID.

Let’s take a look back on the three original dolls from our childhood:

Kirsten Larson: 1854
Kirsten lived on the American frontier, immigrated from Sweden, and went to school in a one room school house. She wore sweet braids in her hair and a blue flowered dress and a red checkered bonnet. LOVE the olden days. I wish wish wish I lived in this time period. Oh the simple days– livin’ on the land.

Samantha Parkington: 1904
Samantha lived with Grandmary in a Victorian mahhhhnsion. She had an awesome 4-poster bed and beautiful golden locket. And she hung out with sweet Nellie and trickster Eddie Ryland.– Had an super fancy wooden desk with an inkwell. Oh, feathers. How lovely.
Molly McIntire: 1943
Molly. Cute little freckle faced, glasses wearing Molly. Molly lived during the second World War. She wore pigtails in her hair and a traditional plaid jumper. A big dreamer, she was. Lively and loveable: a true American girl.
Which American girl doll did you love and cherish?
I had Kirsten. Meg had Samantha. Becca had Molly.
Oh, the good old days with classic American Girls.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Love YOU!!!!!!

SOOOO MUCH!

A weekend with the Delta Chi guys…

I’m back!! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to writing. We had a crazy college reminiscent weekend at Nick and Cait’s wedding back at HWS and it was AWESOME. I honestly think it took me until this morning to fully recover. I had that much fun. But I’m back to normal now and it feels so good.
The Groom was one of Zan’s fraternity brothers, so all of his pledge class came back for the event. I wasn’t friends with most of these guys in college, but after this weekend I wish I was. They are a really great group and I found myself laughing almost the entire time. One for the memory books. Good times, good times.
We went on a wine tour…


Hung out at the old fraternity house…


Had fun times at the Side Show…


Danced the night away at the wedding…


And got silly in the photo booth… I can’t get enough of these!
