Boxes, boxes everywhere!

The elves seem to be dropping a lot of boxes off at our place lately and Juliana doesn't know it yet, but she is going to be very spoiled on Christmas day!! Already, my mom and Nana have sent several boxes, filled with gifts for all three of us, plus a few for Jean and her daughter. Yesterday, a box came for Juliana from Mémère and Howie and I've been told that a few more are on the way from others. Christmas is most certainly not about presents, but it just reminds me how lucky we are and how spoiled my little girl is from the love that her family showers her with. Just yesterday, she was all excited to talk to her Nana and Nanny on skype, singing for them, dancing and showing them her all toys, again. She tells them stories and although we can't fully understand every word she says, it's still amazing.

Last night while waiting for daddy to come home, we had tea time and Juliana wanted to share it will Hello Kitty. She poured them both tea, got the spoons ready and then they "talked" (or Juliana did) while they enjoyed their tea! It was adorable...
Juliana has also been spending a lot of time with her baby dolls lately, possibly the influence of her new cousin, Rylie, that was born? So, here she is with her baby sleeping beauty, having just finished singing to her and patting her back!
Another one of her interests? Taking pictures and now she wants to use the real camera, not the fake fisher price one. So, here's her picture and it's no surprise that it's of her beloved Pooh...

Yesterday's advent card was a treat from mommy, so I gave her lots of options. After a lot of thought, she said "Swimming," so we went right down to the pool. She is getting very good at kicking and we spent quite a bit of time in the big pool practicing. She just amazes me!
