Brooke's Wintry Weekend Part 1

Brooke got to go an exciting adventure this past week!

It was after dark when Brooke finally arrived at the cabin. It was cold and dark outside, with snow falling heavily. 

She looked around the rustic cabin.

"This must be for me!" She said, walking toward a bed. She set down her belongings, removed her boots, and settled into the bed. It was late and she was tired from traveling.

"This is really nice!"

I can't wait to go exploring in the snow tomorrow, Brooke thought as she drifted off.

* * *

The next morning, Brooke bundled up in excitement. She opened the big cabin door. A cool burst of air chilled her nose and cheeks.

"Whoa..." She said, her breath crystallizing in the air.

The world was bright white, frozen in silence.

"I can't wait." Brooke smiled.

There will be another part in which Brooke explores the outdoors!

Until next time, and Merry Christmas!

The Trip --- Part 3

Time for Part 3 of the girls' trip!

~~~~~~

            “Chewie, light speed!” Maggie said as the plane ascended.

            “Sure thing, Rey!” Beth returned.

            “Wow! Nothing but clouds,” Brooke said in wonder as she took a picture. 

 

APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS LATER

            “We’re here!” Maggie jumped into the air.

 

            “California!” Brooke squealed. “Hey, check out those palm trees!”

        
            Maggie tugged on Brooke’s arm, “Come on let’s go to Disneyland!”

Stay tuned for Part 4!

The Trip - Part 2

Part 2 of the photo story!

 

            Brooke rolled the suitcase down the driveway. “Come on girls!”  

            Maggie and Beth clamored behind her, chatting away.

 

            “We are going to go on an airplane!” Maggie gasped.

            Beth asked, “Are you scared?”

            “No way! I’m going to pretend I’m in Star Wars!” Maggie ran around pretending to be the Millennium Falcon.

            Brooke called the girls over, “Come on, the shuttle is here.”

            Beth said, “Here we go!"

            

            At the airport, the girls waited for their flight to board.

            Maggie blinked, “How long until our plane leaves? We’ve been waiting forever!”

            A voice over the loudspeaker said, “Flight 12A now boarding.”

            Beth’s eyes popped open, “That’s us!”

           

 

   

            Brooke told the other girls, "Time to go!"

         
            The girls clamored off to board the plane.

To Be Continued...

The Trip -- Part 1

This is the first part of a photo story featuring my dolls as themselves as they take a trip to Disneyland. I didn't actually take my dolls with me, but I thought it would be fun to incorporate pictures of them with pictures I took while at the park. I had a lot of fun writing and taking pictures for the story and I hope you enjoy!

Without further ado...

~~~~~~~~

Brooke heaved the suitcase onto the bed.

            Maggie asked, “What will we need to pack?”
            “Mostly clothes and I’ll take the camera.”

            Maggie began pulling clothes out of the dresser drawers.  “Pants or shorts?” She held up a pair of each.

            “Shorts, but maybe one pair of pants. It will probably be warm,” Brooke took the shorts from Maggie. She laid them in the suitcase.

            Beth appeared in the doorway. “How’s packing going?”

            Maggie’s arms were loaded with t-shirts and shorts, “Great!”

            Brooke helped Maggie and asked Beth, “How about you?"
            “I’m almost done. I’m so excited! I can’t believe we are going to Disneyland!”

            Maggie shouted, “Yay!”

Brooke Wraps Presents...My First Photostory!

This weekend I did my first photostory ever! Here it is!

---

One cold December evening while the other girls were watching a Christmas movie, Brooke snuck out to get some gift wrapping done. She was so excited for Christmas to come to give the other girls their  presents!

Brooke gathered two presents and set them on the table.

 



She laid out the presents. I just know Maggie will love this picture of us together! That was such a fun day, Brooke thought, and of course Beth will be so excited to unwrap this t-shirt! Brooke and Maggie had gotten Beth an outfit between themselves. Brooke got the t-shirt for Beth, and Maggie got a matching skirt to give.

 

I better go get the wrapping paper and stuff, Brooke thought as she headed to the closet.

 

 "Ooph!" Brooke grunted. The box was big and heavy! Brooke looked around to make sure the other girls hadn't heard her.

 

Satisfied, she got out the rolls of paper.

 

And the tissue and bows!

 

I'll put the picture frame in a bag, Brooke decided.

 

"There we go!" Brooke said quietly. Her excitement rose to see the present hidden in the bag. Just think how happy Maggie will be when she opens it! Brooke thought joyously.

 

She made a tag and wrote "To: Maggie From: Brooke".

When she was finished attaching the gift tag to the bag, she set it aside to get started on the next present.

 

Let's see here... Brooke carefully measured how much paper she would need to wrap the tee.



 

 

She placed a sparkly silver bow and a tag on the present.

 

Now it's time for Christmas! I'm ready! Brooke thought happily. As she grabbed the gifts in her arms to hide them where the other girls couldn't find them, she thought of how pretty the packages would look nestled beneath the tree on Christmas morning.

 

THE END!

 

I hope you liked it! Merry Christmas :)
