2 hr delay!

We had a two hour delay this morning so we got to play a little longer. I tore a piece of paper off the big roll the contractor left here so they wouldn't track dirt in the house and gave Juliette some crayons. She likes crayons, but she has always just banged them on the paper and made little dots. She's always proud of those dots though! This morning she actually scribbled on the paper! We were so proud :).

A Christmas tree maybe??

Christmas Party at Salem

Saturday night we went to Salem Fields Community Center for their Christmas party to see our friends' granddaughter do her little preschool program. When Julietter gets older she's is going to love it, but this year she was content to eat from her snack sup and bum popcorn pieces off her buddy Rachel. The tree in the center of the room was at least 30 feet tall. Juliette just stood there and stared at it. She didn't even try to touch it. She did show a lot of interest in the moon bounce, but I knew better than to try to put her in since she freaked out last month when I put her in one. Hmm and who are you scarey thing with no eye sockets??

Yeah she's shoving a Veggie Straw up her nose.

Hey Rachel.....gimme some popcorn! Mommy's not looking!

Juliette, Nana, and Mickey

Mom brought down an Mickey Mouse tin ornament and Juliette fell in love. Here she is giving it a hug. However, later that day Mickey had an unfortunate event and lost his nose. Super glue surgery is scheduled for a later date.

Reading corner

We're rearranged the living room.....again....for Miss Juliette to have some more space. This time we ended up with a little book nook for her with her bean bag and Mickey pillow. She seems to like it and will spend her time pulling all the books off the shelves right after we put them up there.

Big Present

Nana and Grandpa wanted to get Juliette a kitchen for Christmas and it came the other day. Josh put it together yesterday while she was sleeping and she saw it when she woke up and came into the real kitchen. She went nuts! She started dancing and clapping her hands...it was so cute. She played with it for hours.

Complete with Cell phone!

On a very important phone call!

Reddi Whip!

Let the record show this was her father's doing.

Christmas Parade

Yesterday was the Spotsylvania Christmas Parade so we bundled up Juliette and went to watch it with some friends. It was over an hour long and the school bands were pretty good. There are a lot of Girls Scouts, Boy Scouts, and twirling groups in the area!! Juliette liked the motorcycles and the horses. She even waved to some people on floats as they went by. She did NOT like the idea of sitting in her stroller so she was passed between me, Josh, and another favorite person Uncle D.W.

Santa!!!

You know you're in the south when the parade balloon cart is selling Confederate flags.

Ahh Robert E. Lee at his best.

No parade is complete without the Daughters of the Confederacy.

Yay she and her buddy Emilie match in purple!

Toys R Us

Making her Christmas wish list.

Checking out the Ads

Juliette had a great time looking at the Black Friday sale ads.

Daddy, can I have this? Nope.

Thanksgiving dinner

We tried to time our dinner so we were eating while Juliette slept, but she had other plans and would not take a nap. Here are a few of the pictures of her turkey day....of course she's her father's daughter and ate her dinner while watching football. we taught her how to do TOUCHDOWN! with her arms. In one picture she is giving the "no good" signal :). Her feast? Olives, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. She's not much of a meat eater.

Presents!

Here are some pics I've just had on the camera and haven't had a chance to upload them.

Nana and Grandpa brought down one of her resents- the Little People Farm. She was so excited to open it up. Everytime she tore a piece of paper off of it, she would hand it to Grandpa.

Visit to the ER

My bonehead husband made it possible for us to enjoy the brand new hospital's ER on Tuesday night after a run in with his model airplane's propellors----while they were running. Our bedroom looked like a crime scene with all the blood splattered from his hands. Thankfully Nana was here to wait at the house with the baby while we went to the hospital and didn't get home until after 1 am.
