That was their "big gift" this year and they loved all the little donuts, coffee, meals they could serve everyone. They had a blast taking down everyone's "orders." It was a great addition to the doll horde (collection!) <br />Thank you for your kind compliments and Happy 2016 to yoU!

It's a bit overwhelming but we seemed to find a spot for most everything. The tree DOES look really big in those photos, lol. I think my husband just sort of dragged it in and threw it up in the tree stand (had to chop off some at the top, of course.) They always look so much smaller when they are outside! <br />Best wishes for you as well in 2016!Farrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131848005650508647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847918197454104878.post-28195921208279229852016-01-03T14:27:24.158-05:002016-01-03T14:27:24.158-05:00Thank you so much, simsgirl!! :) Thank you so much, simsgirl!! :) Farrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131848005650508647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847918197454104878.post-38471552122293432262016-01-03T14:27:10.154-05:002016-01-03T14:27:10.154-05:00Thanks, Sharon!!

I think you're right in that we really go crazy decorating. :) I would love to see your beachy Christmas photos when you get a chance! Our Christmas Eve day ended up reaching 70 degrees this year so it felt like we could've gone to the beach, lol. :) Happy New Year to you too! xoFarrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131848005650508647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847918197454104878.post-23712557360429850202016-01-03T14:24:56.100-05:002016-01-03T14:24:56.100-05:00Thanks billa!!

We had a lot of fun this year as my mother-in-law gave us a TON of stuff since she was moving from her house into a small apartment. Some of the stuff I keep up through the winter because the colors and lights make me feel better. :) Farrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131848005650508647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847918197454104878.post-23167065497908227952016-01-03T14:23:37.356-05:002016-01-03T14:23:37.356-05:00Thanks, Linda!!

This year I'm going to try to enjoy the dolls I have and narrow down my collection more instead of spending money (which I should be saving!) on hordes of dolls. We'll see how it goes!

LOL. <br />I have been so busy over Christmas that I've not blogged but did take some photos of my decorations, but because it was so sunny and warm here I took photos of the beach too.....maybe I'll share those instead, as my decor certainly pales into insignificance against these gorgeous photos.<br />Happy New Year! xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847918197454104878.post-34873685948143429102016-01-02T17:05:09.520-05:002016-01-02T17:05:09.520-05:00Happy New Year Farrah, thanks for sharing you wond...Happy New Year Farrah, thanks for sharing you wonderful pictures and a glimpse or your fabolous Christmas.<br />I LOVE your decorations, you created a great atmosphere!<br />billa's dolls and fashionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469748679904970074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847918197454104878.post-53295581127728259692016-01-02T14:37:06.559-05:002016-01-02T14:37:06.559-05:00Beautiful post!

I am glad that you are teaching them the true meaning of Christmas. These days, even the government is trying to get the Christ out of Christmas.
