Yoga with Liz- Part 2

Hey girls! I'm back, for Part 2 of Yoga with Liz! If you missed Part 1, click here. Time to get started!

Well, I'm outside now. Last time you saw me I was inside! Hehe! ;) 

Time to find a nice spot and set out my yoga mat! This place looks nice.

This is going to be fun! Let's get started...

I guess I'll start by sitting down here. Now lean forward as much as you can! Leeeeeeeaaaaaaannnnn

Lean to the right.....

Now to the left.....

Now I'm going to lean forward and touch my toes! It's hard, but I think I've got it! 

Phew! That was hard! Now let's try an easier stretch...

Now this is easier! 

Let's try this... lift one leg,

Cross it over.

Lift other leg...

Cross it over. Now that wasn't too hard was it? ;) It tests your balance!

Now I will stretch this...

Well I guess that's it for now! I hope to do this again someday with you guys! It was fun!

Bye now! Hope you had fun!Comment down below if you'd like to do this again sometime!

Yoga with Liz: Part 1

Hello, Liz here! I'm doing this post for Marisa today! I'm going to be doing some yoga with y'all today! I just started yoga, so if some poses aren't exactly right, don't blame me! ;)

Let's get started!

First, you're going to need a comfortable outfit. Not too loose though, so it isn't baggy and hanging down when you do your stretches.

I'm wearing a t-shirt and some Spandex shorts, the ones I wear for volleyball. They are sooooooo comfortable.

Also, you don't need any shoes. They will just get in your way and make everything harder.

Oh, and definitely don't forget to put your hair up! It gets really annoying if your hair is down! (Trust me, on my first day of yoga class my hair was down- a horrible mistake!)

There we go, that's better. A high ponytail is a great hairstyle, and sporty, too. You can do more with it, like adding braids and such, but today I don't feel the need to do that. Maybe next time!

And of course I need my glasses! I am literally as blind as a bat, I don't know how I could live without them! I have some croakies, too. They help so my glasses don't fall off when I am moving and doing all those stretches!

And how can you do yoga without your yoga mat? Mine is green with purple handles, I just love it! Now time to get started with some stretches!

Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2! We'll really get some sweat going! Haha.. not really! ;)

Bye for now!

Deck the Halls

Happy Christmas Eve! My dolls are getting ready (at the last minute) for the big day tomorrow!

The room was busy with excitement as Christmas day got nearer.

The stockings were hung on the bedposts with care...

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there...

They hung up a festive paper chain, too-

To brighten up the room, and fill it with cheer.

Kanani hid gifts under the bed,

while Liz made some cards.

Julie had finished all that one week before, so she read a magazine.

Shouldn't you go get ready now, Liz, since you're going to church with Marisa tonight?

Yes, let me just finish up this card.

And seal this envelope.

Now I'll go get ready.

Julie and Kanani chatted about what they want to get tomorrow.

Hmm... what should I wear?

I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of this photo story! I'll post the rest of their Christmas not tomorrow, but Thursday, since tomorrow is Christmas and I won't be going on my computer.

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Marisa and her American Girls <3

Thanksgiving Day 2013

It was Thanksgiving day, and the house was bustling with excitement...

With Josefina and Kanani in the kitchen,

Liz and Kit setting the table,

 and Julie and Natalie chatting away.

 "Well, the green beans are ready," said Kanani as she walked into the dining room.

"So is the corn," Josefina told them as she brought it in.

 When Josefina went back into the kitchen, she saw Kanani staring at her pie. "This looks good, Josefina!" she told her. "Thanks!" Josefina replied. "I'm going to put it in the oven when the turkey's ready." Kanani replied, "I think it should be ready now."

"Yep! Here it is! Doesn't it look good?" Kanani said as she took it out of the oven.

 "Yum! I can't wait to eat it."

 "Here's our royal bird!" Kanani joked as she took the turkey in and set it on the table.

 As Kanani set the turkey down, Kit said, "Half of our Thanksgiving buffet is ready! But we can't eat yet!"

 As Julie and Natalie were talking, suddenly Natalie's eyes widened. "I...SMELL...TURKEY!!!" She started running into the dining room.

 "Stop!" Kanani ordered. She stopped Natalie right before she ran into the table! "Sometimes you are just too crazy, Natalie..."

Kanani was just about to go back to the kitchen when Josefina walked in. "Here's the pie." "Good, now I just need to get the cranberry sauce and then we can eat. Make sure everyone's ready by the time I get back. Our food'll get cold if we wait any longer."

"Hey, Josefina," Liz said, "the pie you made looks really good." "Thanks, Liz. It's cherry pie," came the reply.

"Here's the cranberry sauce! Time to eat, everyone!" said Kanani as she brought the bowl in and set it down.

 "Hooray! I'm so hungry!" exclaimed Julie.

All the dolls gathered around the table to pray, then ate their Thanksgiving feast. They all could agree that this was the best Thanksgiving they had ever had; they were all together as great friends.

I hope you and your dolls enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving,
