Santa's Gifts

This Christmas I received and bought some dolls and action figures. The stores lacked action figures and I ran out of time to order from the internet.  I will always have next year.

I was able to get the Disney Collectible Princess Tiana and Prince  Naveen.  I saw that the Disney store was offering different sets each week.  I had gone in during the 3rd week and had missed Tiana and Naveen since they were out the first week.  I found it on ebay for the same cost that the Disney store had it.  

I also got Groot- since he is played by Vin Diesel,  Gamora played by Zoe Saldana.  I am still debating about the 12" Gamora because of the cost.  I was able to finally get Dr. J from Shindana.  He was my favorite basketball player for the low bid of $49.00.   

This figure includes a part of the body to make a bigger Groot. There is a total of six characters.

So in style dolls

Daren was part of the welcoming committee for the new Day 2 Nite Trichelle and Grace.

He was wondering what happened to the dolls. Their faces are different. Their eyes are wider. They seem to be much younger looking.

Table gifts from the Barbie Convention

This year I sat at the table with Nicole and Babs Scott.  They were wonderful hostesses.  They gave everyone dolls and goodies.  We received gifts from the convention and other tablemates too.

Here is a picture of what I received in Nashville.
