Christmas Morning!

Santa came to our house! Julia's face when she saw her baby crib and toys to unwrap!












Clearly in love. . .

Christmas 2009 - part two

Finding the Elf's last stocking stuffer - A Grinch Christmas ornament. Julia's favorite holiday show of 2009 (at a perfect 20 minutes long!)












All dressed up for Christmas Eve service and riding the new trike!












A Tinkerbell glass!













Showing Grama and Papa the book she "helped" Mom make for them!

Christmas 2009 - part one

Christmas party at Small Miracle. Julia got a princess jewelry set from Sutton. Loves it!












Making a gingerbread train with Mom and Dad!













Christmas Eve with Grama and Grandpa Brown. Julia got a Bitty Baby! Still not sure on the name but she loves her!

School Halloween Party!

Julia's teachers Miss Debbie and Miss Barbie invited all the parents to their class party. It was really fun to watch the kids play and eat their snacks. Julia especially enjoyed the face painting - a pumpkin and a pink ghost on her cheeks!

A Cupcake Halloween!

Julia was a cupcake for Halloween. She really enjoyed trick or treating down the street and filling her "Elmo Treat Basket." Halloween starts early in our neighborhood so we were out before dark! Dad was working but the grandparents and Mallory and Garrett came over too!

Pooley's 2009

We spent an early October day at Pooley's Pumpkin Patch with Scot, Kendy, Mallory, Garrett and Grandma and Capa R! It was windy but there were horses for the girls to ride and pumpkins to be found so all was well!

First Pony Ride!

We headed out to the Little Red Barn to check out their pony rides - not sure if Julia would want to but she was really excited! Talked about it all day. They had other petting zoo animals there and free cupcakes! And they explicitly advertise their "pony ride" birthday parties. Good thing she is too young to read the brochure :)

DC/U2

Mt. Michael Fall Festival

This was a great Sunday afternoon! We are officially fans of the annual festival. Julia had a great time and even got to ride her first horse - no not a pony - a big old horse! She loved it! The snowcone was alright too.
