PRESENT DAY!!

Opening gifts together, ah, what a delightful time!The first thing Julia saw was a horse head, sticking out of a gift bag....before she even KNEW what it was completely, she says, "I want it on PLEASE!!" haha, so in all of our "present" morning pictures there is a new member of the family. BONNIE THE HORSE. yes, we got our Jules what every little girl wants at some time in their life: a horse.
Here she is opening and playing with her new alphabet puzzle from nana and grandpa.


I am not one to like 'name brand'-ish things when it comes to clothes and toys, so i try to stay to neutral cutie things instead...this however, i don't feel bad about at all. Who can pass up Bob the Builder slippers for $2.oo???? Besides, Julia REALLY really really really enjoys B the B, and it is one of the only kids shows i don't find annoying- so i'm glad she picked well!! haha. (also notice, she is wearing her new horse in the picture...)
Ah, veggie tales!! Thank you to Great Grandma Hillson for this gift!! (the money you sent went to this lovely "hero's of the bible" DVD, with the stories of Esther, Daniel, and David on it)
(Also, notice she is wearing her new horse in the picture.....)
Oma and Opa bought her a couple little horses to play with, so mommy and daddy added one to the collection....a lovely chestnut colored horse with a speckled bottom...immediately it became, "the daddy horse!!" since the other two were already named the mommy and the filly. (also , notice Julia is wearing her new horse in the picture.....)

Julia's stocking held many colors of glitter glue for decorating crafts and artwork.....here she is trying them out. (also, notice she is wearing her new horse in the picture.....)
More pictures to come.....................
