September So Far...

Here are some of the highlights from our September so far:

* Labor Day weekend - day trips to Marco Island/Naples and the beach
* Christian's 5th Birthday Party
* Visit from Zarin-Joon and Papa Teddy
* First Ever Trip to See Disney on Ice

We arrived at Marco Island to find the place nearly deserted. Little did we know that the island shuts down in September due to the heat and humidity. However, there was a cupcake store open and that was all we needed to have a good time!

No, Mom, I can't look up from eating this cupcake to smile for the camera!




About to lick the plate!


The sweetest sisters...


Later at dinner in Naples...


Bianca asks "Mommy, why is there an umbrella in my drink?".


Let the sand castles begin!



Happy 5th Birthday, Christian!




The girls bombarded Papa Teddy every morning that he was here. Ellia would ask for "more tickle"!


On our way to Disney on Ice. I told Bianca that some of the other girls we were going with were going to dress in their princess costumes. I couldn't believe my ears when I asked her if she wanted to dress up too and the answer was "yes!". So off to the store we went to get a Cinderella dress because, of course, it had to be blue.


Ellia is still cranky about being woken up early from her nap to go to the show.


Most of the kids in our suite!


Three little princesses!



Morning attack of Papa Teddy again...




Bianca's beautiful new sparkly tutu. She makes me show her how to do ballet moves when she wears it.

And here are some pictures that the mystery photographer (aka Bianca) took with my camera.


These next three crack me up. Of course, there were MANY pictures this time of the snakes and animals on her bed. However, as you can see from these pictures, she actually thought about the photos she wanted to take. She changed the positions of the snakes and brought out extra snakes for subsequent pictures. Hilarious!

Games Sisters Play

This must be a fun game because they did it about 52 times before we dragged them off to bed. Daddy deemed it too dangerous to play and kept a close watch but, fortunately no one was hurt. My girls have so much fun together!!!

P.S. Don't mind Ellia's band-aids...she's doesn't have any "boo-boos", just likes to wear them!
