Happy New Year!

Well, we had an awesome New Year's Eve watching the ball drop in Times Square in New York City and eating lots of snacks!  Katie told us she once spent New Year's Eve in Times Square.  She said it was terrible - tons of people all packed together in the street in the freezing cold for hours, and there were no bathrooms anywhere.  There also wasn't any entertainment - all the music and performances you see on T.V. were nowhere to be found.  It was silent except for lots of the people complaining about how boring and freezing the whole thing was, and the only excitement was when a helicopter flew overhead to record shots of the crowd; then everybody screamed and waved like crazy in case they were on T.V.  So I guess it is much better to watch it from the comfort of your own living room!

We got excited when 11:59 hit and the ball began to drop!!


Wahoo!!  It's 2012!!


Nothing's better than ringing in the New Year with your best friend!  I can't wait to see what is awaiting me in 2012.  I hope it's something good. :-)

  3. I love how you two dressed for New Years Eve! Happy New Year!

    Ps. Is that the ball drop in downtown GR in the lower left hand corner of the tv screen? I didn't know you were from western MI!

  4. Stephanie J - good eye - yes, that is the GR ball drop!! We are indeed West Michiganders. :-) Are you one, too? We don't know any other 18" doll fans in our neck of the woods...all the closest ones seem to be down south in Ohio.

  5. I knew I recognized that ball drop! Yes, I am from western Michigan - the Muskegon area to be exact. Are you from GR itself or one of the surrounding towns? I don't know many fans of 18" dolls in the nearby area myself. We do, however, have the Wee Line doll clothes shop - if you ever get a chance you should definitely check out their stuff!

    1. Wow, I am only about 40 min. away from Muskegon - we're in the western outskirts of GR, near GVSU. I have a friend in Spring Lake who's gotten me some outfits from Wee Line and I keep meaning to go there and check it out, but haven't yet...I really need to!

  6. I don't think Hodel's ever seen the ball drop before. I'm sure it was very exciting!

    Happy New Year, Anna Lee!
