Getting ready for Christmas!

All of us Savage dolls are getting ready for Christmas by decorating the family tree!

                                           "I'll unwrap the decorations for the tree if you three 
                                                    set out the mantle decorations."

                                      "I'm setting up the nativity Scene first.  I am almost done.  
                                                      I've turned it so the lamp will light it up."

                                           "Hey, who is going to help me arrange the mantle?"

                                    "I'll help you Nellie.  How about putting the Santa sleigh here?"

                                                                "That looks great girls! 
                                         Look who I found underneath the tree decorations, 
                                                                             Santa!"  
           

                                  "There's only a few more decorations to put on the tree."
                                                      "Everyone pick your favorite."

"Oh, it all looks SO beautiful!"  

"Someone turn on the music box tree."

"Squeeze in everyone! I've got the camera on automatic flash."
"Make space for me to jump in!"

"OH no! I jiggled the camera!"

"Emma, play Silent Night for us."
"Only if you all sing along."

"Silent Night..." 

"Holy Night, ..."

"All is calm, all is bright..."

"MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!"

"And a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Savannah Ann in Georgia

We just got an update about Savannah Ann.

Savannah Ann is getting ready for Christmas with Aunt Sina in Georgia.  

They have a big day ahead.  First they will decorate the tree, 

then take a walk before the party.

Savannah has really settled in to life in Georgia.  She loves her new family.

She now has 2 dogs, Nina and Charlie.  They are SO sweet!

Savannah loves taking walks with the dogs around PTC.
The trees are so many beautiful colors this time of year.

She was very excited to help Aunt Sina decorate her Christmas tree!
After all the decorations were up it was time to dress for
the party in her brand new Christmas dress!


After  decorating the tree and the Christmas party Savannah Ann
and her kitten Precious were very tired and ready for bed.
 Good night Savannah Ann
and Merry Christmas!

.

Merry Christmas from Georgia y'all!
