"Emily, would you please come over here and help set up the table!" Maryellen shouts at Emily, her younger sister. Maryellen waits for a reply while she carefully fills each cup with ice-cold lemonade. 

"Ugh" Emily groans. She turns her head toward the table. "Looks like it is already done!" "Come anyway and see how it looks then" Maryellen responded. 

"Okay, I'm coming" Emily started walking toward the table of goodies.

"Wow Maryellen! This looks wonderful!" Emily complimented. "Thanks Emily! Now, I wonder who will be arriving first?" Maryellen pondered.

"Well, it looks like...Cecile!" Emily exclaimed. "Yay, someone has arrived!" Maryellen quickly announced.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Cecile greeted. 

"How have you been?" Emily asked Cecile. "Good! I can't believe we haven't seen each other since the end of school!" Cecile replied. "Same! I know right! It's been awhile." Emily led Cecile over to the table.

As soon as Cecile got situated, the three girls looked over to see another guest was heading over. "Grace is here guys" Cecile exclaimed.

Maryellen rushed over to Grace. "Grace!" Maryellen squealed. "Hey Maryellen" Grace replied. The two girls hugged each other. 

Not long after Grace arrived, Sophie and her little brother Jack came. "Hi everyone!" Jack giggled. "Awww!" Maryellen, Emily, Cecile, and Grace just adored Sophie's little brother. "Now that everyone is here, let's go eat." Emily suggested.

Everyone gathered around the table. "Mmmm! I can tell this pizza is from Dolly Diner." Sophie said as she licked her lips. "Can we make s'mores now?" Jack nagged. "Yep! The supplies are over here." Emily replied.

As Sophie helped Jack with roasting his marshmallows, the other girls gathered around to watch him. "He's adorable!" Grace giggled.

"Sophie, are my marshmallows done?" Jack asked while examining his stick. "Yes dear. Let's go ahead and make your s'more and let others roast some mallows." Sophie replied sweetly. She led Jack to the table and helped him put his s'more together. 

"Guys, I need a group photo before anyone leaves!" Maryellen commanded. Maryellen set up her camera on timer and quickly jumped into the photo. 

The end!

Photo Edits I Made!

Hello dear friends!

So, I got a couple of really cool photo editor apps on my phone and I have been playing around with them. I have shared all of my edits on Instagram (@all_things_doll is my Instagram) but I thought you all might be interested in seeing them here as well!

Now two exclusive ones that haven't been posted on Instagram.

I hope you guys enjoyed looking at my photo edits! I definitely enjoyed making them. Thank you for reading and looking at the photos. I will see you all again soon!

AG Fashion Show Photos!

Hi friends! Here is the post you all have been waiting for.....the photos from the AG Fashion Show! My mom took photos out in the audience of both Delanie and I modeling. Well, here are the photos. I will describe about each photo for you guys.

This is a photo of both of us before we got our pictures.

My mom got a photo of us while we were posing for our pictures.

Here is me walking on the runway.

Here is me posing at the end of the runway.

Now I am walking back to the stage and off the runway.

Here I am posing on the stage waiting for the time I need to "gallop" off the stage. (I had to pretend to ride a horse off the stage like Kaya.)

Here is Delanie walking down the runway.

Here she is walking back down the runway. She was nervous and walking very fast. 

After the other two Kaya models modeled their outfit, we all met at the stage for the announcers to finish up. Delanie is walking the runway as we wait.

Here my mom was getting a picture of Delanie.

Here we both are! (We don't know the girl in the middle)

For the finale, everybody walked on the runway. Here is Delanie and me walking on the one side of the runway.

Here we are walking the other way on the runway. We walked really slow so my mom could easily get a picture. :)

Well, that is all of the photos. What do you think of the outfits? I think we will be too tall to be in it next year. I was thinking about being one of the announcers because you need to be in high school to volunteer for that and I will be. Which photo is your favorite? The next post will be about the souvenirs we got. I will be posting that on Saturday. Tomorrow, I will be announcing the winning doll on Who Looks Better In It. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed looking at the photos!
