Christmas Eve

 
Of course we went over to Mari's for Christmas Eve and she loved her Tiana bath ballerina doll. We also had to set up milk and cookies for Santa.



Family

We had Aunt Dawn and Juliette's cousins over on Sunday and she had a great time with the newest addition- Mike's daughter Ariana. Last year she was tiny, but this year Juliette was able to play with her and loved hugging the baby.

North

Well we made it up to PA and the frigid cold that is normal up here. Driving was awful for Josh because the wind was horrible and kept whipping us around the road. Juliette was very excited to be up here and already asked to play in the snow tomorrow---oh yeah there is snow here!!

Easy Bake Cookies

Our friend Andrea got Juliette an Easy Bake oven cookie set that you use in the microwave. Juliette wanted to make them right away. Josh ended up doing most of the dough mixing, I made the frosting, and Juliette made the fondant and decorated the tops of the cookies after they cooked for 25 seconds in the microwave.

RE Lee breakfast with Santa

Josh's school had breakfast with Santa. Juliette had great time making an ornament and seeing Emillie. She ran at full speed to Santa and once again asked him for princess Legos. I can't wait to see her face when she opens them next week. I have it on good authority that Santa has filled her wish.

Cookies

Juliette and I baked some yummy chocolate chip cookies together. She loved liking the cookie dough off the spatula before I added the eggs.
 
 





Letter

Juliette was so excited when Elf left her a letter and a gift under the tree because she has been so good. She loved her gift of a Doc Mcstuffin's doctor kit. My camera ran out of memory before she opened it!
 
 

Helicopter

 
Juliette loves this thing.

Parade

So after soccer and the pancake breakfast, we headed to the Spotsy holiday parade. Mom was excited to see Elvis and Juliette loved her favorite Chic fil-a cows. She was pooped though and asked to go home before the end.
 



Breakfast with Santa

Juliette saw Santa at the pancake breakfast we went to and made a bee line for him--running at full speed! Once again she asked the big guy for some princess legos.  
 



Her favorite

 
Juliette's favorite part of soccer is when Coach David brings out the hula hoops. We don't really know what soccer skill this is teaching, but it is super cute.


Where's Juliette??

This is how we have to put Juliette to bed all the time. Nana tried to arrange her friends nicely on the edge of the bed and she just throws them all back in that big pile. If we try to take one or two out, she HAS to find them. Even if it's a friend who has an unlucky bottom spot in the pile, she knows when it is missing.

Our Gingerbread Home Depot

Juliette was so excited to make our gingerbread house....well the gingerbread Home Depot. When she saw the icing all she wanted Josh to do was squirt some in her mouth. Our little angel never has had a reaction to sugar. We found out what kind of sugar makes her completely NUTS---gum drops. So please no feeding the child gum drops!!
 





Hmm these look good! Taste good too!





Let's Go!

We have been so busy lately. I feel like every weekend all we are doing is riding around in the car from place to place.

Beauty and the Beast

Our local CYT group (Christian Youth Theater) did Beauty and the Beast this year and of course we had to go. She loved it and sang along, never moving during the show. She kept telling us we had to be quiet once the lights went out, After the show all the people were around the halls to meet the kids. Juliette wouldn't leave until we had seen everyone, but when we were home she realized we had missed seeing Belle's father.
