I know that I said we'd try and post at our friends at Thanksgiving but we didn't get to it but I'll tell you what I did there. We went for a sleigh ride, went to a BIG park, and ate a lot on Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun times there :) Will write later :0)

Ana

P.S. Alexia and Sonali own their own news station and here is some news from them:

Thanksgiving Holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving early to everyone!!! In 2 hours we(Ana & Shawn) will be leaving to go to our friend's house for 4 days including Thanksgiving(our first with our mom and Alexia and Jo) We probably won't be able to post till December 1st because we'll be gone from home, while Jo and Alexia have to stay home and mind the house :( But once we get back everyone will have a BIG Thanksgiving holiday and we'll participate in the Thanksgiving play! :) We're both SO SAD that Kirsten is going into the archives:( But we hope to get Aunt Emily some of Kirsten's stuff maybe for Kirsten :) Some more good news is that Aunt Emily got all of us a blue Christmas tree with lights that actually light up!!! So cool!! We have to go pack for out trip now. :)

Ana and Shawn

Big News!!

Hey Alexia wanted me to tell you her big news while she's sleeping. She can't post for a few days because she has the flu! Well #1- Alexia applied for 2 jobs and she got them both! She works at 2 shops called iDelight, and Soapy Suds(which Aunt Emily and Aunt Erynn own) Mom owns part of iDelight so that's probably why she got the job at iDelight :0) #2- For Thanksgiving our grandparents(our mom's mom and dad) are going on vacation for their anniversary! And Shawn and Ana are going to our friend's the Reeds house!! Last time Ana went they went to Frankie's!

Josefina
P.S. I can't wait to tell you what I get for Christmas!!

Long time..no post

Hey! I'm back it's me Alexia since I lasted posted I went to the pet store and bought a hamster named Issie, and a dog named Precious. They are so cute! Maybe mom will let me put some pictures of them on here soon. On ourdolls.net the contests are so cool- I wish I could live in Pleasantville! Their town is awesome but I still love Hershey-Wood. #1 reason why: I love my school! #2- We put on a lot of plays(in fact my mom is directing the Christmas play!) and #3- My friends are THE BEST! But I have some sad sad news! My friends Melody and Sonali( who are from Canada, not my mom's dolls my mom's friend's dolls) Me and Sonali own the local news place and if she moves I'll miss her SO MUCH!! Anyone have advice on what to do??? Well the C-mas play isn't going great I don't know what play to do? Plus I have to go to the dentist tomorrow- so many problems! :0) Kiersten is doing well, and my legs are feeling good. Gotta go,

Alexia

P.S. Next I'll talk about my new sisters to be! And stuff planned.

Movie Time!

Hey it's me Alexia! Right now I'm watching the movie Annie! It's one of my favorites. While I'm here at the movie theater, Josefina, Shawn, and Ana are at home. The only way I got my computer in to the movies is I slipped under my shirt so Jo wouldn't notice. (he-he-he) Well the reason I like Annie is because through the hard times she sings to make her feel better, and that's what I like to do to when I'm in the hospital. Plus my favorite character is funny Ms. Hannigan :0) Well tonight I'm going to eat some yummy ice cream. Does anyone have some suggestions? I might eat just plain chocolate. Josefina's trying to save up some money because she's going to try to open a bakery with Kiersten Larson(who lives in our condo) soon. They are going to have some English, Mexican, and Sweedish foods, with some yummy cakes, cupcakes, and breads. Well I'm going to finish watching the movie now. Please leave us some comments :0)

Alexia

The Sisters We're Getting

Hey! Ana told me whoever posts next has to tell the sisters we're getting soon. Well first is: Leila from Hawaii,& she's 1o years old. Next is Taris & Paris the twins, they are 10 also, and they are from India. Next is Jean, she's 1o, and from Florida. Last is Maeve from Spain, and she's 10. Also yesterday our mom planned our Halloween outfits. Josefina's is- A Mexican dancer, Alexia is a fairy, Ana is- Cleopatra, and me- I'm- A Genie. I'll try to post some pictures of our outfits soon. Visit ourdolls.net! What other dolls out there are dressing up for Halloween? What are you wearing? Let me know and I might do a Halloween contest! Well I have to go to bed now, because I have school tomorrow :0)

Brooke

P.S. Does anyone do anything special for Halloween decorations? I need some ideas! :0)

Hey sorry...

Hey I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been busy trying to help Josefina cook up stuff for Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Already! She wants to make them early, freeze them, and hope they are still good by the holidays. :0) Well I'm trying to come up with an outfit for Halloween, anyone got ideas??? Well if you could please get the word out about my(and my sisters) blog-we haven't had ANY comments :0( Jo's depressed about it. Well we're going to have a Halloween Parade on the day before Halloween, and we're all going to go trick-or-treating, in our awesome outfits! By us all- I mean my sisters, my roommates, and me. My roommates are actually my Best Friends! We live in a condo that we all own-so we're not REALLY roommates. It's confusing :0) Well Molly, one of my BFF's is planning the Halloween play for us all to act in, Ruthie is planning the Thanksgiving play, and my sister is planning the Christmas play!! They are all going to be a lot of fun ;0) I'll tell you who gets what parts when they are cast. Speaking about acting in plays my mom signed me, and my sisters up for Drama Class!! I can't act- WHAT am I going to do in front of a (gulp)crowd??? I had to audition to get in, not really to get in I'm already in. But my teacher- Mrs. Snapp wants to see how good we are. Alexia did awesome! We had to wait in the lobby while the other's auditioned, and EVERYONE knows that Alexia is the best- we could hear her through the closed door when she wheeled herself up on the stage, and started- She hit EVERY note right! Well at least from what I know about notes-after all I want to be a musician and own a studio when I'm older. Josefina & Shawn did awesome also even though they missed some notes. I went after everyone and I walked to the stage- I was sweating -my ears got hot, and then I started- I hit most notes right but at the end... I don't even want to remember it. We've all been busy practicing for our FIRST EVER play we're doing in Drama Class- "The Secret Garden". I hope I don't get a lead part, maybe Alexia will :0) She would love that. Well I'm going to go clean up the condo with Kiersten now, then eat dinner, then watch "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" It's a great show! Well whoever comes on next will tell you about the sisters we want to adopt.

"Ana"
P.S. I didn't want to say my full name so I put Ana. he-he-he :0)

Hey! I'm the last person to meet you but, I love letting people know about my life. I'm Analita Machiah Rosalinda Clara Montoya. I know it's a long name, but..I didn't choose my name:0) I love playing instruments-like piano, guitar, & violin. Someday I hope to have a orchestra, and perform all over America. I also love helping my twin sister Josefina cook for the other dolls here in HersheyWood. I also love designing musical outfits for my recitals. Like adding "notes" all over my tights and shirts. And I always love giving music recitals at Christmas Time. Here in HersheyWood we always have a huge celebration Christmas day. We sleep by the Christmas tree, and the night before we put the gifts under the tree, and in everyone else's stockings. Then Christmas Day we do the Christmas play, open gifts, and EAT! We love Christmas! At Thanksgiving we do the Thanksgiving play too, and dress up as Indians & Pilgrims. Here in HersheyWood holidays are a BIG BIG BIG thing!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I have to go to bed now but I'll come back on here soon :0)

Ana
P.S. I also like to help Josefina cook sometimes, and help Isabella work at her shop, which I'll

What's up?

Hello, I'm Alexia Kate Manning. I have 3 sisters Ana, Josefina, and Shawn, which you've talked to two of them already. ;0) I was adopted by my family(ana, josefina, and shawn)when I was 9. My original foster father Paytin Maning (not the real Peyton Manning, but just a football player on a team)played a lot of football and I got into football a lot.When I was found a family, then I moved to HersheyWood and instantly loved my new sisters. I still watch his games a lot because he plays on the Texas Rangers. I watch his games on my e-mails cause he sends them to me, not on TV, he's not THAT big of a star yet, but... Anyway I am a HUGE UNC Tar Heels fan!!!! Once I even went to a UNC football game, and saw the UNC basketball team! And Josefina was my cheerleading coach when I did cheerleading last year. I also tried out ice skating last year and loved it! I was a professional figure skater, till I got sick. See, I have a disease that makes my arms and legs really loose and sore. So I'm unable t odo sports without getting hurt. When I went to Altlanta, Georgia in July, I went with my bff Nellie. She helps me a lot when I hurt. :0) Well anyway while we were there I got a wheelchair, now it's so much easier to get around! While we were there we also got my sister Shawn. We went to the Caf'e, and ate great food! We took some pictures which I'll try to get on here soon, but my camera has low batteries! Well I'll try to come on here has often as I can :0)

Alexia
P.S. I'll tell Ana to come on here tomorrow- she's already asleep :)

I'm New Here!

Hey! My name is Josefina, I love letting people know about what I do here in HersheyWood. (That's our town name) First I'll let you know a little about the history of our town. The reason our town name is called HersheyWood is because the person that founded our town in 2003, was named after one of our resident's(Kiersten's) father-Andres Hershey. He had his own chocolate buisness, that was a big hit. And he was also a carpenter so when he founded the town, he thought of things he loved the most- his Hershey chocolates, and being a carpenter(wood) he called the town HersheyWood. Well enough about the history about the town then, even now we still have good chocolates! Now about me- I'm Mari'a Josefina Montoya. I have a twin sister Ana which you'll meet later :0) I love to cook and am planning on opening a bakery with Kiersten Larson soon. I'm also a curendra and love to help the sick with herbs. Along with helping my sister Alexia, which you'll meet sometime! :0) Thanks for visiting my sister's and mine blog!

Josefina
P.S. I also love cooking Mexican food for my family & friend's. :0)
