Entourage

Everywhere she goes - they go.

That is Miss Alyse with her entourage.
It is quite large.
Let me introduce you to her favorite friends:

Her most important members of the crew are of course
Taggie (Her BFF)
and Pink E. - who she got 2 summers ago on our trip to the Toronto Zoo


Then comes "The Puppies" (They are all named Puppy. All 4 of them. This can be a little confusing at times....)

Puppy #1 - who was bought at a very special place - WAVES at Topsail Beach.

Puppy #2 - who is actually a pretty new addition to the club. He was a gift from Mrs. Joanie.

Puppy #3- who I think is a stray that she picked up at Grammy and Papa's house and somehow ended up home with her.

Puppy #4 - Daddy bought this for her at the Disney Store because she was such a good girl one day. (She was holding it in the store and after a few minutes she put it back, gave it a kiss, and said "Bye Bye Puppy". Josh thought it was so nice that she didn't beg for it and throw a fit, even though you could tell she really loved it, so he had me take her out and bought it for her. He gave it to her as a little special surprise.)


Next up in her circus of animals is her monkey.
He use to be a "car toy" but she has now decided that it is too cold and he has to sleep in Lysey's bed. She got him the day when Aunt Joy and I stuffed as much things as we could into a bag at Carowinds. I think Emma Grace actually picked him out for her.

She usually calls him "Monkey", but a few days ago at a store a lady asked her what her monkey's name was. She replied, "St. Nicholas." So maybe she changed his name. However, I think it was a little Christmas withdrawal.



Dumbo also flies around with her wherever she goes. (Disney Store. Big Sale.)

And then Horsey. (Santa actually gave him to her when she when to go sit on his lap and have her picture made this Christmas. Well, he was paid for with the package, but it was nice when Santa gave her a little gift.)

Her ducky pillow is also a very close friend that was found at the Christmas Show a few years ago. (He takes up a lot of room, but I don't mind because when she drags him into my room in the middle of the night I can keep my pillow all to myself.)

And of course, every child has to have their juice and blanket (Or as we call it "blank-let")

I'm glad I could introduce you to everyone.

*BTW- Puppy #2 was missing at the beginning of this post. However, it was discovered that part of the club was missing so a search party was sent out. As you can see, we found him. There could have been a lot of drama if he had run away from home.
