It was really nice for Vi, Madeline and Otis to have time to spend
just playing! They love hanging out...

Birthday Girl

Yay, happy birthday Sabrina! We are so excited that we were here to
celebrate with you! We love you!!

Hand Made

It's amazing that they still do so much of it by hand. H
This guy is adding cherries and almonds and hand mixing...20 pounds at
a time. It was a really cool tour!

So much chocolate...

The best thing about the tour was all the samples! That big machine is
full of chocolate...

Chocolate Tour

In the afternoon Vi and I went on a tour of the Theo Chocolate
Factory. What a perfect thing for the ultimate chocolate lover!

Gifts too

On top of everything else, they got a gift which was a shirt for their
doll, a book and a ballon for their doll. Very impressed!

Birthday Cake

They even got a cake!

Birthday Celebration at AG

Today we celebrated both Vi and Madeline's birthday with lunch at the
American Girl Store. Wow, they really know how to throw a birthday
party...

Playing with Madeline and Otis

It took Otis a little bit to warm up to us because he really didn't
remember us. Vi just sat down and played and he slowly got closer and
started playing with her...Maddie just loves Vi and started playing
with her and hugging her right away!

Breakfast

Vi and Otis made blueberry pancakes on Sat morning. They were delicious!

Back to School Haircut

Vi got her hair cut before school starts. Her long hair was getting so
tangled. At first she hated it, but now she likes it (thank
goodness!).

Souvenirs

Vi picked out super cool ears! And she of course had to get a Mickey
stuffed animal.

Favorite Picture So Far...

No words needed...

Max

Max, Goofy's son, just loved Vi. He kept coming back and "talking"
with her...She's not a big higher, haha!

Mickey Mouse!

Vi was super excited about meeting Mickey Mouse and getting his
autograph and picture.

We're here...DISNEYLAND!!

We just walked in. Here is the first picture of Vi at
DisneyLand...many more to come.

DisneyLand Vacation

Our DisneyLand vacation has officially begun. We got to the hotel and
the first thing Vi did was take out her "homework book" and start
practicing on her math. Maybe that's why she is exceeds on all her
standardized tests.

Tomorrow is when the real fun begins, our first day at the park! Can't wait...

Swim Meet

Just before one of Vi's heats. She is the first one with the GOLD on
her swim cap.

Cody Concert

Vi and Jordan waiting for Cody Simpson to come on...

Cody Simpson Concert

I took Vi and Jordan to the Cody Simpson concert for her birthday. She
had and blast until Big Time Rush came on (they were actually the
headliners). Everyone got super loud and crazy.

Summer Recital

Saturday was the Summer Recital. Wow, how fun! Vi did such a great job
in all 15 dances she did! This was the first recital that they
performed Folklorico. It was so cool! Here are some of the girls
waiting to go on...

Cupcake

Today is Miss Melissa's birthday. We had a little party before dance.
As you can see there were cupcakes. Vi just can't eat without getting
super messy. To watch her eat you wouldn't think she would get this
messy. Not quite sure how but she always does. I am definitely keeping
these pictures to ward off the boys, haha...

2012 Swim Season

Today was Vi's last swim meet of the season. She swam all four strokes
and did so well! It was actually the first time she did the breast
stroke and she came in seventh. Way to go Vi! She has improved so
much, her technique is so good! So proud!!
