For the past few years my family has celebrated the holidays closer to New Years. My sister and her husband come to town and stay with my parents. They come to my place one day and we hang out and the other day we are all at my parent’s place.
Now that I have a Coeros stand for both of my ladies I decided to try something a little different and both of them greeted my sister and Brother in Law like this.
While it was nice I don’t think I’ll do it with both of them again. We spend the day at the kitchen table hanging out and playing games. I rolled Seraphina in, then myself, and Arachne on my other side. The problem with them standing instead of sitting is that I can’t put an arm around their shoulders or a hand on their legs. After realizing this I ended up taking Arachne off her stand and she sat with me (with Seraphina’s stiff joints it’s a lot more effort to get her off the stand and onto a chair).
For the most part, I think this is going to be the only time of year I bring both Arachne and Seraphina to family gatherings. It takes a lot of physical effort to load both of them into the car, into another house, and then back out and into mine. With all the doll stuff I did in a short period I ended up with a few overworked muscles!
Things have been going well with Arachne and Seraphina; Arachne allowed Seraphina to have the front seat which I thought was nice. The roads were incredibly icy so I wasn’t able to give her the full R experience, but some day we’ll blow her hair back!
This was of course Seraphina’s first Christmas! She was absolutely mesmerized by the lights on the tree (obviously not an actual tree, my parents switched to this a few years ago. Easier to store and easier to set up, I imagine).
If you’d like to see more of Seraphina’s outfit, I finally started a thread for her! You can find that thread here. This new thread will probably end up as mostly photos of her outfits but there’s a chance she’ll get a solo story at some point that might get posted there. When she gets introduced to the main story that will of course happen in the Adventures thread (I’m still working on that). Out of character stories that involve both her and Arachne will remain in this thread.
How about some more of Arachne’s outfit? There seemed to be a lot of people yearning for a goth girlfriend this Christmas, but I’ve already got one! She’s such a beauty!
