Since I have a passion for collecting Barbie Dolls, and this is Barbie's 50th year, I am going to completely bore my family and showcase my collection of Barbie dolls throughout 2009.
This was my first Barbie.  I got it when I was 9 years old.  I still remember going with my mother to pick it out.  It always took me a long time to select outfits for her.  I was very particular about what I wanted her to wear.
The outfit she is wearing, is called "Busy Gal" and cost $2.50 when I purchased it.  I am missing the belt and hat, but have the rest of the accessories.  She is a 1960 Barbie, and I still have the original swimsuit and accessories that came with her.

     As I look back on the past year, I am extremely  grateful for our blessings.   Dispite the confusion and state of our country, I have thought about all the little miracles that are happening all around us, and with extended family. I continue to believe in a Heavenly Father who loves us, and hears and answers prayers.  
    I want to thank my family for all the joy they bring into our home.  For my grandchildren who are my angels that brighten my day when I think I'm falling off my rocker!     This family picture makes me laugh.  How often do we laugh out loud or just make a fool of ourselves?  Not often enough!  I have an incredible husband, that when life does a U-turn on him, he still plugs along with a positive attitude and with greater determination to press forward.   
     I love the Temple, and the peace and comfort we receive, and the blessings that have come to us for just striving to do the right stuff.  And referring  to the picture again,  apparently Ryan took a potty break, or just trying to get the attention he obviously needs.   :)
     Thanks to all who have made me laugh, and have helped strengthened some of my weaknesses this past year.  Hoping the new year will bring you comfort and JOY!
