Most of these pics are from my evening out with the littles. We all ate dinner at The Warf before Frank took Anne Louise to see Alice in Wonderland, and i took the others and walked around & rode the ferris wheel. There was a good bit of discussion as to whether or not they really wanted to go that high but a sense of adventure finally won out and we had a fun 5 minutes going round. The two of them are the likliest to butt heads in the fam so its really fun for me to see them behaving like they love each other.

Wow! Anne Louise requested a trip to the Ono beach house with Grandonna for her b’day and since mine is so close i got to go, too! Good call, ALP. We spent a weekend in Feb. between my b’day and hers having a truely large time (as PopPop would say). We ate at Lulu’s and shopped a lot, and i took her to a movie one night- “Percy Jackson & The Lightening Thief”.

Also pictured are shots for her family cake at home on her real b’day. She has become quite the drama queen (ha.) so i thought it was time to pass along my special brass theater masks from when i was the drama queen (ha again.)

Lovely people. The girls all danced and Katy had a solo line. Anne Louise interpreted as the kids sang one song. And I sang “Molihua” (“Jasmine Flower”) in Chinese with the other adoptive moms. It was really a precious experience.

Friends were there including Andea (my old friend from high school), Shelby (Ella Grace’s friend), The Pope Fam, The Foti’s, and Kirby Rockett & mom, Kim.

Well, they forcasted snow, but we were skeptical. Ella Grace went home with Shelby after the play and the gid girl were home. We woke up & peeked out and…nothin’. But they kept saying it’s coming so…we waitied. And watched. And hoped. And finally…it snowed! It snowed most of the day and we watched it accumulate. We played and had hot chocolate and played some more and let our clothes dry and played some more and when all our snow was played with we went to LeeLee & Grandpa”s house (they were on a cruise) and played with THEIR snow. When Ella Grace finally got home after dark we played a little more, but luckily it was still on the ground the next morning for them to work out their frustrations in snowballs. Love these memories. It was a great day.

Also pictured is her buddy Shelby. Kindergarten plays are so sweet.
