Happy Valentine's Day!!  I hope you all had an amazing day, and I apologize this post is so late!
Caption That Doll #14 Results + new picture will be posted tomorrow (or Monday, depends), but either Sunday or Monday!  Normally I will post it on a Saturday, though! :)
Anyways, here's a behind the scenes peek at our AGDS Valentine's Day Party!

Molly handed out the cupcakes and worked behind the table for the party.  Each holiday, we rotate and this time it was Molly's turn!

We used our DIY's in the Valentine's Day video and used the same adorable table to hold our goodies and decorations! :)

All the dolls got the little bags and they each made Valentine's for each other. :)

After the girls got their snacks, the sat down and chatted.

Mallory couldn't resist an adorable little cupcake! ;)

"Time to exchange Valentine's!" Molly declared after everyone had finished eating.

Everyone then began to exchange Valentine's ! :)

Overall, it was a great Valentine's Day!  I hope you all had an amazing day, as well! :D

Hey guys!  So here are my 3(er..well) favorite captions from this week!  I think this is the hardest time I've had (so far) picking only three, because all the captions were great!  And since I had so much trouble, I had to go with four!  Since it's my first week, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal if you had to decide between four! :)  The poll will be linked below!

The first caption is, Madison's caption! :)

Mallory: SAIGE! The Valentines party is supposed to be perfect! You are RUINING IT!!!!!!!!
Saige: But...but...but..
Mallory: UGH! You are SO disappointing. On so many levels. *flounces out of room angrily*
Saige: But the Valentines Day party ended! I'm taking the decorations down because it's all over!

Saige: Ugh! My dress is too poofy! This Valentine's day party was supposed to be the best! You ruined it with your disco music!
Mallory: It's fine, I love it! And, I love disco music. Who doesn't?
Saige: I wasn't talking to you! This dress doesn't fit me right. By the way, no one likes disco music.
Mallory: Uh, well, who were you talking to?
Saige: HOPE! SHE'S THE ONE TAKING THE PICTURE! Ugh.

Holiday Highlights
We all had a great Christmas and New Year!  The day before Christmas Eve, one of Saige's friends had a big Christmas party.  It was really cool--I kinda got kicked out because I ate all the chips {oops}.  On Christmas Eve, we all slept in and made pancakes--I put red and green frosting on mine {some thought it was gross, but it's delicious :P!}  Then, we did all of our holiday traditions--listening to Christmas music, in our Christmas PJ's all day, looking at Christmas lights, watching Christmas movies, drinking hot chocolate and going to Christmas Eve service. 
Christmas Day was awesome as well!  We woke up, opened presents and hung out together the rest of the day.
On New Year's Eve, Mallory had an awesome party and we stayed up pretty late!  {past 12:00}
Overall, the holiday's were great!  How was everyone else's holidays?

Happy 4th of July! {Photostory}

It was a hot, sunny day and the house was in chaos.  The dolls had been invited to a 4th of July party/cook-out.  Everyone was running around, getting ready, grabbing the food, and making last minute brownies.

Mallory sat at the desk in her bedroom she shared with Ruthie, which was covered in makeup, and a complete mess. 

Mallory was quickly applying some mascara when Ruthie entered.

"Mallory, what happened to our desk?  And why are there clothes covering your bed?"  Ruthie asked.  Ruthie absolutely hated messes, and she was always the most organized of the family.

"Don't tell me you forgot!" cried Mallory dramatically, throwing her arms up in the air.

"Forgot...uhh..what?" Ruthie finally asked.  "Ruthie!  Saige and I are riding on the ending float in the 4th of July parade!  And you promised to help me with my makeup!"  "Oh, yeah," said Ruthie, "I remember.  Sorry, the house is a complete mess and Kit just called me to tell me to bring the camera, but  I can't find it because her room is so messy." 

Ruthie started doing Mallory's makeup, and quickly applied some sparkly light blue eye shadow.

Next came the lipgloss.

"Tah-dah!" cried Mallory, spinning around.  "How do I look?"  "Great!" cried Ruthie, who really meant it. 

The kitchen was also a mess, as Caroline ran around looking for the hamburgers. 

"Where could they be!?" she cried.

"Aha!" she said, spotting the hamburger box on top of the fridge.  "I must have set it there earlier!"

While Caroline stacked up the food, Saige walked in.  "How do I look?"

"Fine," said Caroline, not even looking up.  Saige giggled.  "Sorry," said Caroline, "I have to bring the hamburgers to the cookout."

"Oh, I have to go!" cried Saige grabbing her dance bag, "see you later!"

Mallory followed Saige out of the kitchen.

Later, everyone was gathered at the picnic enjoying some of the delicious hamburgers and watermelon.  "Let the parade begin!" cried the announcer.  Many awesome floats came by, where the people on top through out candy and even cupcakes!

But last of all came Mallory and Saige on their float.  All the dolls clapped as loud as they could!

And the float was great!  It even had American flags on it.  Saige and Mallory threw out cupcakes!

When they made it to the end, they jumped off the float and did an awesome dance for everyone!

They both ended in their left and right splits!

Overall, the dolls had a fantastic time.  The fun wasn't over yet, though.  Next they enjoyed an awesome fireworks show!

Sorry this is late guys, I did this yesterday and it took me 2 hours to set everything up and stuff :D

Enjoy!

Valentine & Ruthie's Birthday Party! -Revised 5-17-14-

Hey girls!  Did you have a fun Valentine's Day? :) I sure did--Valentine's Day is always a fun holiday!  Here's what happened during the Ruthie's birthday party with the dolls! :)

It was a bright, cheerful afternoon and the dolls were setting up for Ruthie's surprise birthday party!

Kit and Sydney Lee were in charge of the lunch & snacks--which had fruit, some dishes like hamburgers and soup, and a side-dish to go along with it.  Around it were some yummy treats! :) 

Next to the food were the stack of presents waiting for Ruthie to open.

Mallory and Saige, dressed in the height of fashion (of course) were chatting about their presents to Ruthie.

Caroline and Molly talked about the buffet--the treats looked so good!

Kit hissed, "I see her, here she comes!"

Ruthie opened the door.  "Surprise!" all the girls cried.  Ruthie held her hand up to her mouth.

"All this for me?" asked Ruthie, smiling.  The dolls nodded.

The dolls start going through the buffet and none of the food was left afterwards! ;)

Next, it was time to open presents.  All the dolls gathered around Ruthie.

Mallory handed Ruthie the first present

It was from Molly!  Ruthie tore open the neatly wrapped gift.

It was a book about crafts!  "Thank you so much, Molly!" cried Ruthie, paging through the book.

The next present was from Caroline

Ruthie gasped. "101 Crafts to do on a Rainy Day!" cried Ruthie, "I've always wanted it!"

She read the back—and couldn't wait to begin the book!

The next present was from Sydney Lee and Kit—a bracelet!  "It's a tradition," Kit explained, "every doll gets one on her birthday!  Syd and I make them!"

"Perfect fit!" said Ruthie, adjusting the bracelet on

Next was Saige's present!  Ruthie carefully removed the card and tore into the gift

"A Designs by Me craft book!" cried Ruthie.  "Thanks so much!"

The next gift was from Mallory.  "It's a bow I made!" Mal explained.  "I love it!" cried Ruthie. "My favorite colors!"

"Perfect fit!" said Ruthie, trying it on.

The last gift was neatly wrapped with heart wrapping paper, with a white envelope on it.

First Ruthie opened the card

"Thanks girls!" cried Ruthie

She tore the gift open and gave a squeal of delight.  "A mini doll!" cried Ruthie, "how did you guys know I wanted her?  And that I wanted to name her Ruth,"

 seeing the sticker that said Ruthie.

Ruthie stared admiringly at the beautiful doll

Ruthie was so excited about her present!

I hope you enjoyed the photo story!  More fun posts coming in the future :)

Oh and also, just let me know if you would like to see a tutorial on how to make the doll-sized bow or the doll-sized books! :)

Happy (late) Valentine's day!

~Hope and Ruthie!
