See How She Has Grown

Julianna has been to 3 Chinese New Year celebrations already. Check out how she has grown!!

Great Dragon Party

We had our local FCC party Saturday, Feb. 4. Julianna was looking forward to "feeding" the lion his red envelope during the Lion Dance. She and Allie had a blast running around and through the tables with balloons. I think the girls were the entertainment for a while. Julianna said her favorite thing was when she was in the dragon parade at the end. They asked for all the kids to either be under the dragon or following behind him. Well, Julianna said, " I liked the dragon party, Mommy. But, I could never catch him!" She ran around the room trying her best to get under the dragon! She continued her running after the party was officially over by racing around with balloon strings in her mouth and balloons trailing after her. She said she had to put the strings in her mouth so that she could run faster.

Happy Year of the Dragon 2012

Christmas 2011

The Christmas season was so fun this year. Julianna was so into it all. She sat with Santa 3 times, baked cookies, saw Christmas lights, helped decorate, and was the "official" bow sticker-oner of all presents!! Both girls have the tigger stocking. We purchased both stockings right before Caroline was born knowing we would some day have a second child. Notice all our furry babies have stockings hung over the fireplace. There is also a picture of my favorite Christmas tree ornament. Every time we go to Disney, I have a special ornament personalized. This one is from the May 2009 trip Caroline and I took together right before our referrals came out. and yes, my entire tree is done in Disney ornaments!!!!

Our Favorite Place on Earth

We were at Disney with family in November. We had lovely weather and the crowds were light. It was also the beginning of the Holiday season, so everything was so pretty. Julianna is a Disney Pro now. She knows the rides she wants and she will let you know if she has not ridden them yet! Lots of family fun!!

Halloween 2011

Julianna was soooo ready for Halloween this year. Caroline practiced with here weeks in advance. (anyway to eat candy, right??)
This year, Julianna was piglet. We dug out a box of Caroline's old costumes and Piglet was what she picked. Caroline was a queen. Trick or treating is a fun, quick night. We only go to houses in our neighborhood, so it doesn't take long to hit 19 homes. I say it is just enough! They both come away with a bag full!!!
