Crazy Christmas Tradition

Merry Christmas! (One day late...) So these pics below are not dolly-related, but we will put it on the main page because it is holiday-ish. ;-)

Sorry we haven't been posting much-- with holiday traveling and family activities, we ran out of blogging time. But, in case you have been living under a rock (wink wink), leaked photos of Kanani, her schtuff, and some new 2011 historical schtuff is available through Youtube videos. We didn't post about them here, just to be safe (don't want to get in trouble). Although AG probably leaked its own pictures to create some buzz, haha. That way people see all this cool new stuff before Christmas and they know to save their gift money for AG stuff in 2011. Just a theory though....

It was nice to see Kanani and some of her things. We are excited to buy her. She looks very pretty and unique. Is anyone else planning on getting her?

Okay, now on to the Crazy Christmas Tradition 2010. This year for the tiny animals diorama we made "A Christmas Story"--- that silly movie with Ralphie, a BB gun, and a leg lamp. If you haven't seen it, we highly recommend a viewing. It is a classic Christmas film.

So here are some pictures of our diorama...Initially we'll show you some highlights and then we'll put in some slideshows below those...First: a complete shot of the countertop... it starts with Randy stuck in the snow in his snowsuit on the far left, Flick stuck to the flagpole, the shopping district and toy section of the department store, Santa's mountain in the department store, Ralphie's house, and then the Chinese restaurant where they have Christmas dinner...


Highlight: Randy stuck in the snow...


Highlight: Flick stuck to the flagpole... (he puts his tongue on a metal surface in the cold on a triple-dog dare--- a bad idea)...


Highlight: Ralphie in his pink bunny suit--- a gift from a relative...


On the box below the counter is the scene where "The Old Man" changes the car tire and Ralphie helps him (it ends badly)...


Outside of the Higbee's Department store, the prized BB gun in the window, inside of the Department store toy section, cashier and customers, Santa's Mountain, and Ralphie waiting to see Santa...


Ralphie's House, the Bumpus Hounds gathering to eat the Christmas turkey, Ralphie in the bunny suit, the Old Man opening his leg lamp prize, Ma in the kitchen preparing Christmas dinner...


The Chinese Restaurant, Chop Suey Palace Co., where they go for Christmas dinner after the Bumpus Hounds eat their turkey...


Hope you liked our Christmas diorama pictures! You can look forward to another post right around the corner of some little dollies that my sister and I got for Christmas! Oooo, exciting!

What a fun display!! :) My daughters and I love Calico Critters...they're so cute.

Thanks so much for adding my blog to your sidebar...I'm honored. :)

I wanted to let you know that I sent an email to your business gmail with some pics of Emma. My email address is really random, so I put a message saying "it's Beast'sBelle" in the title. :)

Also, this next week, I'll be doing a post on my 2nd doll blog, http://tessandmaggiesblog.blogspot.com (written by two of my dolls) about Emma's Christmas, just in case you want to check out the pics. :)

Okay, sorry this was such a long comment!! :} Hope you had a great Christmas!
