Happy Birthday Beauty

It's hard to believe but Julia is now EIGHT years old. The celebration started on Saturday with a trip to the A*meric*an G*irl Store in Ne*w Yo*rk C*ity. It was so much fun. The store is unbelievable. My beauty chose the J*ulie doll which San*ta brought. She is a super hip 70s chick. When we got there J*ulie got her hair done and her ears pierced (really)! We shopped until we dropped. J*ulie is a very lucky doll! We also strolled around N*ew Y*ork even stopping in and seeing part of a wedding in S*t. P*ats. We also watched the ice skaters. We capped off the day with dinner at the A*mer*ican G*irl C*afe which was really nice. The celebration continued on the next day with a small family party at home. Happy Birthday my Beauty!

It's About Time...

for an update. February finds the beauties enjoying everything that winter has to offer. Both are now skiing local black diamond slopes. As you all know I don't ski and I haven't seen the beauties ski which is probably a good thing since I would probably feel the need to wrap them in bubble wrap to protect them. Carol & Jim had a surprise birthday party for Big Jim. He was really surprised and thrilled with the party. We celebrated Julia's gotcha day, Anthony's birthday and KKs birthday at G*asho in H*awthorne while we shopped for a Com*munion Dre*ss for Julia. It was a lot of fun. Anthony took Chris for a haircut and he came home with BLUE hair. Thankfully it was temporary and washed out. Things have been busy around here but we love it.
