New years!

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! the year pasted so quickly!

on new years eve I was invited to a party with my family. Kirsten, Gia and piper were there too.

Even little annie came along. :P

 I got a new dress for new years this year. It's so nice and I love the velvety feel. ^.^

It looks great with my warm hood.

We ran outside when the clock struck midnight! Some of the adults lite some fireworks, they were very loud, We were afraid that they would scare Annie but she just giggled in delight and awe.

We all regretted not wearing shoes, the deck was freezing over. at least I was wearing sandals. :)

Kirsten was the smart one. putting sneakers on. the little ornaments we're holding were meant to represent a dragons body. 

this years Chinese zodiac is the-

self-assured, brave, passionate, conceited, and quick-tempered dragon.

I've read that it is also full of energy, but doesn't show it off. 

 

I hope everyone had a great new years and that everyone has a great 2012.

A Surprise!

This afternoon I Received a Package. It was HUGE! Then I noticed that there were two packages. I opened the smaller one, hoping to find a card or note. But instead I saw THIS!

An American girl dreamy daybed! I've been in love with this bed since I saw it in the catalog. It fits Rebecca Perfectly. ( I Re-named Ruthie, i like Rebecca better ^.o)

I had completely forgotten about the other Package. Luckily Kirsten was there with me. She helped me unwrap the whole thing. It was a new winter toboggan! It's perfect!We showed Gia and Annie. Annie loves being pulled around the living room in it wait 'till she gets to play in the snow. ^.^

Happy halloween!

We had a great Halloween! I went as a witch, I love the costume, The hat and broom are my favorites.

 Gia went as Red riding hood and brought along angel Annie.

 We all met together at around 7:30 to go trick or treating together. I love piper and Rosie's matching costumes.

 We all got TONS of candy. After we were done we piled all the treats together and made a huge pile on the table.  We've all had more than half of the candy. ^.^

Annie took her first steps today!!! we we're so proud of her! all the swimming must have helped :)

 Piper taught Annie how to swim, she's pretty good too.

 I liked dipping my feet in ^.^

 Kirsten and Annie floated around on a foam boogie board

Annie LOVED it.

Awww

She is so cute! Last week gia went outside with the Annie and read her to sleep. She also made a book bag and an adorable outfit including a hat.
Annie is so energetic yet sweet and shy at the same time. We love it when Annie comes and plays.
