But, first...

barbieoldnewgreenredo

But first they need sustenance. Well, Cat does!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe: Hey, Cat...cease and desist...it's not like you are starving! You've lost your slim figure!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: She just want's attention, like we all do.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe: Well, here's to you, who deserves all my attention.

Vickie: We have to get our tree up---if you keep talking like that, we won't? 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: I'll start by adjusting all the branches. How does it look now.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe: A little to your left, now do the lower branches...(hee-hee)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: You stinker, finish up Lieutenant and report for duty.

vvvv

Joe: Ready, Ma'm, where should I start! 

Vickie: No kisses until we are done.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

An hour later....

Joe: I'll just hold on to you here, and then you can reach that last ornament! You sure smell good.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: You are such a bad boy---Santa will leave coal in your stocking!!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe: This is the best part, now we need to test the rest of the lights with this remote.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: Awwww, it's so pretty. I'm glad we went with the white tree.

Joe: I'm glad you are with me.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe: Cat!....Stay out of the tree.

Vickie: Owwww, she's getting heavy. No more treats.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

CAT: (No more treats......Meeeoooowwwww, no more Christmas ornaments....purrrr.....)

Joe: Do you think she likes the tree?

Trish's Tree Time Lot is HOPPING!

Trish's Tree Time Garden Center has been pretty busy!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: I'm sure glad Ted came this afternoon with more stock. The trees and wreaths are thinning out. I bet we will be busy tonight!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Later after 5 pm the lot is packed)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lena (L) and Mari (R) have been shopping for hours.

Mari: Oh, that wreath, that one..up there!

Ted: I'll be right there to reach that, for you!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ted: Anything else if you still have room in the car?

Mari: This sprinkling can for my Grammy and this snowman for Mom. Thanks, you have been a big help, Ted. Trish is lucky to have such a great brother!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rosemarie: Daddy, we found the perfect tree...it's PINK! Look at these great decorations!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vince (Daddy): Cool, which tree, Honey?

Connie (Mom): That one back there!

Vince: We'll need help with that, man that is really pink?

Courtney (pink hoodie): Oh, Daddy can I help?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ted: Great choice sir...for the girls! Lift on three; one, two, and three!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vince: Glad it's only two blocks away! 

Ted: Do you have this, Sir?

Courtney: Sure, we're the Marinos, we got it! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Courtney: You're the best Daddy ever! 

Vince: Sure honey, anything for my girls!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melanie: Maybe we should get this live tree, and put it in the yard after Christmas?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lucas: Say, if we take this live tree, can you plant it later for us. 

Ted: Sure we have full landscaping services, we can do it after Christmas, or you can mulch a mound around the pot and we will do it later! 

Lucas: How about delivery with the mulch then. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melissa: My mom picked this out too...I love the Nutcracker!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melanie: We've only been in Chicago for a month, this is a great neighborhood. Thanks, for all your help!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Peder is shopping for gifts for his family! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Dee Dee: My aunt Jacquie will love that wreath, can you bundle it up for me, she's still shopping!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Hi, Dee Dee! 

Dee Dee: Ted got this down for me, now I have to run to the car before Jacquie sees it! 

Trish: Better hurry, thanks for shopping here!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Peder, what kind of wreath are you looking for?

Peder: Something with sports, my dad is a Chicago Team guy.

Trish: I'm sure we have one here somewhere.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: That's a lot of empty wreaths? Are you going to put me out of business!

Vanny: Hi, Trish. We are going to make some for the church virtual bazaar, can we get a break on the price, if you can.

Trish: How about half price, and you can put Trish's Garden Center down as donating, also. Happy to help!

Jacquie: Thanks Trish, there are so many in need, all the proceeds will go for the food bank! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Jacquie: You sure have been busy---we are just hanging on at the salon.

Trish: Soon as we close up for the winter, I'll be in for a trim and my nails are a fright. Have a Merry Christmas if I don't see you again.

Jacquie: Don't miss the Tree Lighting in the Park on Friday. You two are part of our community now.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Jacquie: See you Friday! Don't forget to bring something for the food bank...we have to help those in need! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Sure we will. Tree lighting...wow...can't wait...!

Ted: Yep, it will be fun, well let's get all these tree lights off, Sis...or the un-tree lighting, 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

...and lock the gates...tomorrow is another day!

Trish: Ted, we need more wreaths, some trees, and more bags...and....

Ted: I know.....

HAVE YOUR DOLLS PURCHASED THEIR TREES YET?

Sandi's note: I have to confess this is the most fun I have had in a long time...setting up this tree/garden center...and dressing all the dolls to do their shopping. I will be sorry to see it close for the winter. Upside next is Vickie's and then the Tree Lighting! Hope you are managing some doll time, since we are locked up!

Wishing all my readers and Doll friends a Merry Christmas,

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

I'll be back to posting....slowly as I reacquaint myself with the 

Doll Room, after a long absence. 

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

I can't wait to start working on the Hotel again,

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

And my gang, has lots of stories to tell, and new faces!

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Thanks for all the get-well wishes...I'm finally starting to master the stairs. Now to find my way into the disaster of the craftroom-----! Can you believe my dolls are still in shorts..in the yard, and Trish still has the garden store up!...(though there is no snow and only mild temps here in Chicago right now)

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

So, while you are rocking around the Christmas tree, take some time to enjoy your family, friends, and of course your dolls!

See you again,

Christmas at Vickie's Apartment.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Carly, Zoe and Vickie rest after decorating the apartment.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: I can't thank you two enough for your help with the store and making our little apartment a home. I would never be able to do all this myself!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Carly: What could be bad about unlimited wine, now that we have heat all the time, and well great discounts on fab clothes!

Zoe: Those dresses you are letting us wear for the benefit at the hospital will be fabulous! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: That's the least I can do---I think Joe is coming home soon, he's been gone almost a month on that case he can't talk about. What else do we have to do, tonight besides finish all the wine in this bottle. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Zoe: Just hang this last wreath up here in the window...and it's snowing just in time for Christmas!

A week later, on Christmas Eve....

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Zoe passes out holiday presents at the children's ward at the hospital. Then she poses for pictures at the Christmas party.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Belle from the HFIM house helps, too. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: I'm so glad you are here, Joe. It's Christmas and I just got back from the party at the hospital. The girls are staying longer, we are all alone. 

Joe: Well, time to open our gifts then, you first!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: It's snowing and on the way to zero here in Chicago...what did you have in mind?

Joe: I've got open tickets for a time-share in Costa Rica for February if you can get away?

Vickie:Oh, Joe. Sunshine and you---I can't wait.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

They push aside the furniture, and dance to the juke box playing "Rocking around the Christmas Tree."

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe:Can't wait for our trip---do you Salsa? I love Latin dancing.....he spins as Vickie twirls in circles.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Zoe sneaks in...for the couple has eyes for no one, but each other! 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
