Sean and Kim and BYU Homecoming










Well, tonight is BYU Homecoming, and Sean invited Kelsey to the dance. Kelsey and Sean are becoming a bit "chummy"! Kelsey invited Sean to her Homecoming at the High School, Sean invited her to BYU Homecoming. She is really a cute little gal. They wanted to be sure they were double-dating tonight, so Danny, Sean's friend, invited Kim to the dance, too. I got to be able to make a fun dinner for them.. I kind of went over-board! Erin and I made it like a restaurant. I gave them a choice of two things for everything, like this:




Appetizer: Included a salad ..


1- Homemade spicy vegetable beef soup.


2-Cream of Broccoli soup.




Main Course:


1- Meatloaf with choice of Baked Potato or Yummy Potato and


choice of buttered corn, buttered peas, or buttered green beans.




2- Cornish Game Hen with choice of Baked Potato or Yummy Potato and


choice of buttered corn, buttered peas, or buttered green beans.




Dessert:


1- Strawberry ice cream or


2- Triple Chocolate ice cream.




When they came to the table I had homemade rolls with butter and honey waiting for them. There was ice water, and with the main coarse came bubbly.




This was fun! Here are some pictures!

Doll repair and fun!






Erin and I have a new hobby together... doll repair! She wanted an American Girl doll for Christmas and I said, "I can't afford one"! We decided to get a beat up American Girl Samantha doll for $35.00 and fix it up. And we did! And it is beautiful! We got another beat up Samantha with the intention of selling it... but I fell in love with it and kept it! It represented what Erin and I did together and I just could not part with it. I am also into repairing and selling Crissy dolls... I have sold two now and have just picked up 4 more Crissy's, two Velvet dolls, and a 1930 doll and a 1950 doll.... totaling about $30.00. I sell the Crissy's for $20.00 a piece after I fix up/re-root hair and put clothes on her. Mary wants one of the Velvet dolls!

But one day Mary and I went to the thrift store and found what looked like a nice doll just needing her hair done. I took it home and it was a "My Twinn" doll. I had no idea what that was. I fixed her hair, put it on ebay... it sold for $62.00. I think I had help from Heavenly Father on that one!


So, anyone want to see the dolls I've done?! Here they are! I have just finished completely rebuilding an American Girl Doll Kirsten, too!
