Oh no!!


Leah

Hi Guys...

Kirsten's sick!! Well it's not exactly confirmed yet but she's absolutely exhausted. It all started when she got up from her sewing to make dinner, like she always does. She was cleaning the house most of the day while Julie and I were walking Coconut. When we came back all seemed to be normal, but then Kirsten got up and she almost fell over. We could tell she was super tired and we made her go to bed. She's resting right now, but she has also been reading her Meet Rebecca book. Julie said she'll take care of everything and now she's making her "famous" grilled cheese and tomato soup. I'm looking forward to see how it tastes...lol...

Anyway, I wouldn't admit it to anyone but I'm kind of worried about Kirsten. She works so hard and she's never really gotten sick. Julie said that before I came, when all the H1N1 was going around, she thought Kirsten had it but it turns out she didn't. She's a tough pioneer girl. But yes, I AM worried....
Got to run, dinner (or whatever Julie calls it...) is done. Chances are we'll be taking Kirsten to the doctor tomorrow if she isn't better, even though she'll protest...
Love, Leah

SNOW!!!

Julie
Hey dudes and dudettes!!!
So yesterday it SNOWED!!!! It was SOOOOO epic! Leah and Kirsten and I got bundled in our coats and we piled out there. :D I was soooo excited to be out in the first snow of the year! I jumped around and threw snowballs and made a snow angel. Then us girls got together and built a snowman! We found some stems for arms and rocks for eyes and buttons. It was too small for a mouth and we had no carrots. The nose was kind of shaped into the snow, and it looked like a penguin. Snow Penguin. Hahaha! Here are some epic pictures:

Let it snow!

Snow angel :D

Snowman! He was so cute. We named him Larry. Well, I did...there was dispute over what his name should be, or whether or not he should be a he, for that matter. Oyy...everyone knows snowmen should be named Larry! Leah insisted that if he was named Larry, we should make another one and call it Bob to match VeggieTales. I think she watches too much of that show...
After that we were soooo cold and wet. Seriously, we were wet. Quinlyn, not wanting a visit from DPS, immediately dried us off and took off our wet clothes even before changing herself! Kirsten was wet down to her skevvies (insert Kirsten screaming at me that they're called pantalettes here). Leah was the warmest, as she had on a sweater under the coat. I was freezing, but I didn't really care considering when it snows that's the only time I can pummel Leah and Kirsten and not get grounded. :D

Anyway after we dried off we huddled in some blankets and sat around the Christmas tree, since we don't have a fire. But there were so many lights on it it generated enough heat for us. I had to share my blanket with Coconut. He's quite spoiled. But when I look into that wittle cute face of his I just can't say no!!!

Here's us. Really cozy-like. At least Coconut was warm.
After we got warmed up Kirsten made soup for dinner and Leah turned on the TV to Hallmark channel, which is basically our life during Christmastime because of all the awesome movies!! Our new favorite is An Old Fashioned Christmas. I've seen it twice already and I want to see it again. Kirsten and Leah love it even more than I do, to the point of jumping out of their seats and screaming at the exciting parts and sighing crazily during the romantic ones. At those times, I get a re-fill on popcorn, which saves me from getting jumped on if Leah gets a bit too excited. Kirsten is far too refined to jump on me. Unless she knows something I don't...*looks suspiciously over shoulder*
So that was our snowday!
Cya guys later-it's time for lunch, and I have to go tell Leah that she'd better not start the movie without me!!
Love you guys,
Julie Albright

Happy Saint Lucia Day!

Kirsten

Hello Everyone!

So sorry we haven't posted! We have been very busy lately. Quinlyn did indeed get a new doll for her birthday, but it turned out to be a girl called Suzannah from a company called Ginger Brook Hollow! She says that if you go to her blog, you can see pictures of her. She's lovely, but we haven't been personally introduced to her yet. From what I read from her book, I think we would get along quite nicely. I think today I shall go over and introduce myself and bring some of my leftover Saint Lucia buns with me. :D

Speaking of Saint Lucia, Happy Saint Lucia day!! :) This morning I woke up at 4:00 AM and woke Leah and Julie up with Saint Lucia buns and tea. Julie didn't care for getting up so early, but one she smelled the buns she didn't really care. Leah had no idea what Saint Lucia day was so the poor dear thought I was an angel from heaven in my white dress and shining crown. I believe Quinlyn took some pictures so expect them later. :)

Well, I suppose that's about it...see everyone later!

Love,
Kirsten Larson
