My Mini Christmas Miracle

[dornroeschen]

I just had a mini miracle happening to me. I have been desperately waiting for the Felicity DVD with bracelet which is going to be a stocking filler for Kamilla and it just didn't arrive, although it was shipped on 7 December from the UK. As today (Christmas Eve) is a Saturday I didn't expect any post to arrive. In the 'old days' we would have exceptional Saturday delivery during the month of December, but over the past few years they stopped it. Hence I was so surprised when my mum just walked in with her arms full of big envelopes and a box and one was the DVD - another one was a cute doll chair I won on ebay, but I'm afraid even the new anorexic AG's won't be able to sit in it - their hips are still too wide

Now it's going to be an absolutely perfect AG Christmas [img]wink.gif[/img]

How wonderful! Merry Christmas to you and your Mom, and Kamilla, and all your AG girls! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am happy that the DVD arrived just in the nick of time! As far as your chair goes, I put Sam's little bear on a handpainted e-bay chair that I got that is a tight fit for our dolls. It is still a cute decoration.

Thank you everybody.

I just got home from Christmas at my sister. It had been planned that I pick up Kamilla at noon and that we would do something together to make the time pass by more quickly, but unfortunately Kamilla is sick - she got a bad case of cold and therefore spent the day in bed. However she did join us for 'Bescherung' (that's when we get the gifts) and dinner. I hope she'll be feeling better tomorrow when we have Christmas part II - with all the AG surprises.

so... the movie has german subtitles?
Or are you translating it for her?

Just wondering!

[dornroeschen]

No, it's the original US version. Although it's code 1, we can watch it without any promblems as we have codefree DVD-players and TV-sets that are NTSC compatible at home.


ETA: I don't have to translate the film to Kamilla, she understands English quite well as I've been teaching her since she was a baby. There might be some words she will ask me, but most of the time she understands. She's now started to read and write in English as well and she already sends me the occassional SMS on my mobile in English now.
