We had a lot of fun on our short trip to Madrid last week. Odile and Coralie were very excited to go by plane, so they explored the airport and were amazed at the many planes they saw there. There was also a little bit of art to have fun with.

By early afternoon we reached our flat in the city centre. The girls had fun exploring it.

After relaxing a bit we went out to eat something.

And then walked around the city a little.

The next day after breakfast we had a tour of the city in a bus which started and ended at the Prado museum.

We had lunch and then … Churros con chocolate.

After that we went to El Corte Inglés – a huge department store with a nice view of the city from the top …

… and a big department of toys. The girls had a lot of fun – and I bought two new dolls 🙂

In the evening we attended a Flamenco tablao with tapas and Sangria – without the girls…

…who also had a lot of fun in our apartment.

On Thursday we walked through the streets and in the late morning visited the Reina Sofia Museum. We saw the Guernica painting and they also had a Flamenco department.

The girls had fun in the museum gardens.

For lunch we had burritos.

We walked over the Plaza Mayor …

… Puerta del Sol with the famous statue…

… to the Palacio Real.

The girls had ice-cream in the garden because it was so hot.

On the last day after breakfast we just walked a little about the city and visited different places like the Puerta de Toledo.

And then it was already time to go to the airport and fly back home.

We came back with lots of nice impressions and many souvenirs.

On Sunday the girls helped me make a tortilla de patatas.

I think the girls are looking forward to cooking more Spanisch meals.

Easter was a fun time for my dolls and me.

First Bunny was very busy with all the preparations.

On Easter Sunday the Rainbow High dolls had a great Egg Hunt in the garden.

On Easter Monday Lucywenn and Vivian wanted to go for a walk. The weather was windy and cloudy so the walk was quite short. But, at least they visited the Easter decorations in the village centre.

And of course there was a new doll in the Easter basket – meet Mickey by Jakks Pacific. I finally found one of these dolls.

I realised that I have collected quite a few LOL surprise dolls. Here they are.

So, of course, I had to build a little space for them. I decided on a boutique – because they are fashionable girls and have quite a few outfits and accessories. There is also a little place to chill and put on make up.

Then there is a toy store – a place to keep all the mini toys.

And a little photo corner for the most fashionable LOL girls.

Her are a few views of the store diorama when full of dolls.

The big sisters usually take care of the toddlers. Sometimes even outside the usual space – this is a very hard job.

This year we celebrated New Year’s Eve quietly at home without much ado. My girls, on the contrary, dressed very elegantly and enjoyed big parties. Here are some of the outfits.

Big party in Dolliewood.

In Dollietown there was a big outdoor party.

Well, it looks like the Monster High Dolls Gen3 really got me. I would never have thought to like them so much. So here are my Christmas dolls.

The second day of Xmas is usually not that busy. We enjoyed a classical Christmas concert – and so did the girls.

Christmas morning is always a time to relax, enjoy cookies and hot chocolate in front of the fireplace – of course wearing Xmas PJs.

Then the preparations start for the evening. There is usually a big dinner.

Followed by games …

… and story telling.

Some of the girls like to enjoy the beautirful lights outside.

Of course many girls are wearing Xmas sweaters.

Finally it’s Christmas Eve. Everything is ready and, like every year,the BJDs that joined the family have prepared a little show.

And we also had fun with a little twinning.

The last few days were very busy in Dollietown. Everyone was getting ready for Xmas – last minute- like in the human world.

Baking …

… even assisting the humans with their baking activities

Shopping …

… buying Xmas trees.

The dolls hardly had time to listen to and watch the shows taking place all around Dollietown.

Of course there were also Carol singers.

And the Cat Choir was there, too.

For those who already had done all the preparations, the Xmas Circus was the right place to go to.

You could also buy sweets there to enjoy during the show.

Wow … Christmas mail …what a surprise.

I quite enjoy going to Xmas markets – the atmosphere is always so special. The Xmas market in Dollietown is a huge event and the dolls are having a lot of fun. The best thing is – the weather is always right for a Xmas market. It always snows in December.

What can you do there?

There are lots of stands with food and drinks and the girls are really enjoying their time.

Sweets are very important.

You can ride in a coach or sleigh. ..

…go ice skating …

… or ride on a Merry-go-round.

And of course you can buy souvenirs.

You can meet Santa Claus and his helpers.

or Xmas elves.

And of yourse you should wear an ugly Xmas sweater.
