July Special Days


 Canada Day

This year on July 1st we celebrate Canada's 154th birthday, and I thought I'd let some of the kids who've never had the chance before to pose for the annual Canada Day portraits. Well, all except Elin, who has had the opportunity before, but I had one extra red outfit, so she won out...
Picture
It was Judith's first Canada Day....and even though both boys have lived here for a few years, it was also the first time Efreet and Aaron joined in....
Picture
Same with David, Olivia and Cookie....

Happy Canada Day!

A Close Encounter

July 2nd was National UFO Day, and David, Nami and Ringo were headed to the park to play some baseball....
Picture
Suddenly Ringo thought he heard something....
Picture
They looked up just in time to see a flying saucer zooming towards them....
Picture
Picture
They ran to hide behind a tree...
Picture
"Look! It's opening up!"
Picture
"And something is coming out..."
Picture
Picture
A number of tiny, fierce looking, little aliens came out....
Picture
'What do we do??"
Picture
Picture
Then David got an idea...
Picture
"Hello 911....I want to report an alien invasion!"

4th of July

Today our American friends to the south celebrate their Independence Day, and since my dolls never want to miss any opportunity to celebrate, or send good wishes to someone else who is, they posed for some photos.  Happy fourth of July!

"Could you pass the ketchup, please?"

"That's much better!"

Hot Dog Day

July 21st is National Hot Dog Day, and I had originally envisioned Manny selling hot dogs along the boardwalk down by the lake, but as is often the case, the ideas changed as the days went by, and I decided to do something different....
Picture
Manny would be a hot dog vendor at the county fair....
Picture
Picture
...and for a really festive atmosphere, Smuzhka would be handing out balloons....

Plant Tour

Today, July 27th, is 'Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day', so Holly wanted to give it a try....
Picture
Coco thought he'd join her....
Picture
but he could only fit two plants into his wagon....
Picture
But better three plants than none....
Picture
So off they went....
Picture

Cheesecake

Picture
....while he serenaded her on his mandolin....
Picture
Picture
Rhett had brought all Kitty's favourite flavours of cheesecake....cherry, blueberry, strawberry, and of course....chocolate.....
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Come join me for some..."

Watermelon
