One of my friends here at work has a three year old niece who has cancer. This is her second time with it (the first time she was just 8 months old) She will be having both chemo and radiation this time around. Her name is Maraina...so if you could take just two minutes and ask for God's blessings...the more the merrier.
Thanks!
Alice in Wonderland is officially over...Alyssa did great and we are so proud of her. Her next big show is in June. I really look forward to that one, it's all the bigger girls (yes, Alyssa is in the "bigger" girl section now) it's all the hip hop, Irish, tap, jazz...all that fun stuff. Should be tons of fun.
The kids also got report cards last week too. Brandon does not get letter grades...but he did really well. He has really taken off with reading and excels when it comes to that...
Alyssa got all A's! She really had to work hard this time around and we are very proud of her.
Hold on...may want to sit down for this one!
We finally finished Gabriella's room! It is perfect, just like I imagined it to be. Her crib bedding is so pretty too. I'll post some pictures when I'm at home.
Anyways, Sunday was her first night in the crib...she woke up a bunch of times crying. I started to think we should have moved her on my weekend. But last night when I put her down at 8 she slept all the way to 5:30!!! Must be she is used to it!
I was sad to have her moved out of my room...but she was busting outta that bassinet so it had to be done.
I guess that's about it...

I snapped this on accident...but I thought it was a good picture!
Last night was the opening night of Alice in Wonderland. Alyssa is a Dew Drop Fairy...she looked so beautiful! I can't get over how big she is getting!
Enjoy the pictures...
Yesterday was national bring your child to work day. I usually just bring Alyssa but figured this year Brandon could come along too. I have to say (MUCH to my relief)...he was a good boy!
Each year our marketing director and entertainment director set up special things for the kids to do and this year was no different.
They were taken on a "behind the scenes" tour of the mall complete with a chance to drive a lift. Of course my son took it all the way to the ceiling and got to touch the pipes!
Everyone had a chance to make their own pizza's at Lombardis (one of the restaurants here) and were taken to see a magic/bubble show at one of our showrooms too.
Both of them had a great time.
In my office
In my office with the Webkinz...this picture was a request from Brandon. Oh, and you will be happy to know...all the girls in the office are getting webkinz so we can play on the computer here at work...it's a tough life here at the Miracle Mile Shops!
Anthony (the entertainment director) and the kids...he is wonderful!
At the end of the day Brandon was worn out!!
So..on Sunday we celebrated Alyssa's birthday at Sunset Station at the bowling alley.
All her friends that we invited came and we all had a great time.
Of course the theme was Hannah Montana...and just about everything she got was Hannah Montana related. Needless to say..she was one happy cookie!
Below are just a few pictures that I took, hope you like them!
Oh, and Jill...yes...I am blogging at work! :)
