Happy New Year!

Best wishes to all of you for a very happy and prosperous 2015!

My Kenner Dana doll has a lot to celebrate in the new year. Today is her first day out of her box.

When I was a child, I had Dana's friend Darci. Darci was my favorite fashion doll because she could do more poses than my other dolls. I didn't know that Dana even existed until I was an adult. The 10 year old inside of me was gleeful as I removed Dana from her box. Here she is standing for a pose. She can stand without assistance in her shoes, but it is difficult to balance her.

She sits quite well.

And she does other moves well, also.

She has clicky arms and legs, and articulation at her waist. 

Her legs click 4 times, and her arms click once. Unfortunately, my doll can no longer hold her right arm in a bent position. Her right hand can hold objects.

She's ready to return to her celebration with her new friend.

Calista's Diary Entry - New Year Wishes

Dear Diary,

My family normally goes to Watch Meeting on New Year's Eve, but this year we relaxed at home and watched the celebration going in Times Square on TV.

We did the countdown together, and then wished each other Happy New Year.  There were hugs and kisses involved.

I stayed up later than my parents.  I reflected on this past year, and I thought about all of the possibilities that the New Year brings.  I don't really have any resolutions, but I do have lots of wishes.  I'm just excited to see what the year will bring.

 Happy New Year!
