Why, bonjour, lovelies! Have you missed me? It is I – I mean, how can you not tell – Cécile Rey! ?
Guess what? In our first Christmas card exchange, I got to exchange cards with my friend Grace, who is sometimes featured on the blog Dolls N’ All. Grace told me that if I asked Madison for a post on here, she would ask for a post on there! I thought that was a marvelous idea, and since I haven’t posted in forever, Madison thought that was a good idea, too. :D
Pretty much the only thing I wanted was a photoshoot, since I haven’t had one since my birthday in May. I love wintertime, and so on the coldest day of the entire year (for Florida) and back in January, Madison took me out for one wintry, matchless photoshoot!
Matchless as in weather, of course. Definitely not matchless as in this photoshoot is the best one ever (as you can tell by Madi’s horrendous photography skills ?).
We have a stack of firewood in our backyard for making fires in our fire pit on cold nights, and I thought it would be cool to take some pictures of me on and next to it! :D
This was really fun! Even though I’m not much of an adventurer, I felt adventurous – in the cold, trekking across treacherous paths, fighting for survival… yeah, that sounds more like something Chloe or Ellie would do. ?
Hello. :P
I was really cold by this point, but Madison wanted to stay out and take more pictures of me. :P I mean, I’m not complaining, I like being in the spotlight… but it was the coldest day of the year for Florida, folks! Matchlessly cold!
You can see our ministry office in the background. :P It is under perpetual construction, but you should’ve seen what it looked like when we first bought it! ?
Well, that’s about it! I demanded to know why this photoshoot was so short, but then it dawned on me. Well, duh. It was freezing cold! ?
Brr, that looks freezing! It loved the photos, Madi! Cecile is so pretty. :) It’s very warm here and feels SO good! Although the weather has been rather bipolar…it was 50 something the other day, 28 yesterday, and now it’s 55 today. XD
Haha, it was! Aw, thank you so much! Cécile says thanks, too. :D LOLOL! Texas weather is so much like that! Below freezing one day and 70 degrees the next! XD
You’re welcome! :D Heehee!
(Oh, and I sent you the interview questions for you-know-what! ;) :D )
:D
(I got them! Thank you SO much! Sorry I haven’t replied yet, I’m just now going through a long list of new emails from being in Texas… XD)
I love this photoshoot! Cecile is such a pretty doll and I missed having her post on the blog. All these photos are gorgeous! Cecile’s skin tone looks beautiful with that coat.

I’m so glad you like it! Cécile missed posting, too! And doesn’t it? I really like this outfit on her! :D
Great photoshoot!
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Great post! It is pretty cold where I live but I stay inside so it isn’t that bad ;)
You look great in white Cecile!
Thank you! Hehe, you’re smart. ;)
Cécile says thank you so much!
Wow! That outfit is awesome on Cecile! Great photo shoot. My favorite is the one where she is walking on the log pile.
I really like it on her! And thank you so much, Xyra! I like that one, too.
hmmm. how cold was your coldest day? do tell! :P
Most crazily, ~Olive
Oh gosh, for the life of me, I can’t remember! LOL! Maybe 30 or 40 degrees? I’m not sure! LOL! :P
She looks like… Someone thats from winter wonderland!
M&M-
PS: Suppose I’m writing a book. And I get stuck supposedly, any advice for what I should supposedly do??
Hehehe, yep, she does! :D
P.S. For me, I would stop writing completely until I have plotted out the book (but I can make plot twists and change it as I go… ’cause that’s just how I roll… ?). That why I’m not stuck on what I should make happen next. Supposedly, of course. ? If you have any other questions, let me know!
:)
M&M-
PS: I would supposedly say thank you!

Thank you! Awww, thanks so much! No, it was serious… XD
Ooh I love Cecile’s outfit! She looks very wintry! :) Where we live it can be -40C one week, and +16C the next. We are known for our chinooks. The weather never seems to make up its mind! To top it off, we live in a desert in the middle of the prairie. We get very little precipitation, but when we do, it’s either flash flood torrential down pours, hail the size of golf balls, or record snowfalls. We are also known as the sunniest city in all of Canada. Lately we’ve been enjoying mild weather. +8C most days. Yet two weeks ago, we had a huge snowfall, and it was -25C. It just kept snowing and snowing! The drifts were piling up almost as tall as me! Now the snow is completely gone. Hopefully that’s the last of the really cold weather. Spring is on its way!! :)

Thank you so much! :D Oh my goodness, yikes! That’s crazy! I hope you get some nice spring weather soon!! :D
Today in Houston, Texas it is a sunny 85 degrees. Just got back from Miami, Florida and it was hot there too. Your Cecile is just BEAUTIFUL!!! Loved the photo shoot!
Yikes! Houston and Florida share similarities in humidity, I know. Thank you sooo much! I’m so glad you liked it!
