Arf! Kindergarten Musical

All of the Kindergarten classes at Julia's school put on a performance of Arf! this week and they were all so adorable!  There's not anything much cuter than little kids dressed up like doggies, singing and performing on stage!!!!  Job well done Kindergarten cuties!

 Getting ready at home!

 Almost time to perform, gotta go get our makeup and "doggie ears" on!

 Her BIG line!

 Cute little sharpei puppy dog!

Gracie's #4 Birthday Party

 Gracie turns FOUR on Monday, February 6th, but we got to celebrate on Saturday with a Fun Zone jumpers party with family and friends!  Everyone had a great time running, jumping and celebrating with Princess Gracie!

 Julia plays hide and seek in the jumpers, peek-a-boo, I see you!

 Julia and Gracie and some of their friends that came to celebrate!

 "Happy birthday to myself" she says as she slides down the big jumper slide!

 Beautiful princess cake for the cute little birthday girl!

"Make a WISH!"  Sweet little thing is FOUR and we had a great day celebrating with all of our friends!

Meet Charlie - Our NEW cousin!

 Our new cousin, Charles Wade "Charlie" Lomax was born last week (01/24) and all of us are so excited that he is here!  He is the first boy on the Lomax side and the first "first cousin" for Julia and Gracie!  We went to Memphis on Saturday to go meet him and he is absolutely adorable!

 Charlie was 9 lbs, 3 oz, 22 inches long so we know that the Rebels will be signing him up SOON!

 Julia is so proud of her new cousin!

 Sweet baby boy!

Proud cousins and "little mommas!"  Welcome to the world baby Charlie!

Daddy/Daughter Dance

 Julia and Ryan went to the Daddy/Daughter Dance at her school last Friday night and had a BLAST!  He was such a gentleman and even took her out to dinner before the dancing (yeah, I know, we have a good one!).

 Posing....

 Showing off her dance moves!

 Daddy and Julia

One of my favorite pics of ALL time!  Thanks for being such a good daddy!  I heard that they (mostly Julia) danced ALL night!  What a fun memory for the two of them!

Ballet Tea Party

 The girls went to a ballet tea party at their ballet studio on Sunday and had such a great time!  They got crowns, had their nails painted and even got a little make up (blush only!).  All of the helpers were costumed characters and there were LOTS of princesses around!

Christmas!

 We had a fabulous Christmas this year!  Lots of fun at our house as we remembered Jesus' birthday!

 Santa made a stop at our house and we all must have been REALLY good this year!

 I caught them hugging after they gave each other their gifts that they picked out for each other!  How sweet!

Gracie showing off her Lalaloopsy doll (her favorite gift)!

Christmas Fun!

 

We had a fun weekend of Christmas activities!  We started out on Saturday morning ringing the bell for the Salvation Army.  We had two little singers and dancers that helped to fill the kettle!

On Saturday night, we had the annual Dunagan Christmas get-together.  One of our favorite activities of the night was that we got to get "rolled" with Pappy as we became a snowman! :)

On Sunday night, we went to Memphis to the zoo to see the Zoo Lights and then over to Shelby Farms for Starry Nights.

Cute little panda bears (in lights!).

Merry Christmas from us!

Julia's SIXTH Birthday Party!

 We celebrated Julia's sixth birthday with a ballet party on Saturday.  We had a fun time learning ballet from a real ballerina and doing our own ballet moves!

 Everyone getting warmed up!

 Concentrating on getting it *just* right! :)

 Group shot of all the little girls and our sweet friend, Anne Elizabeth the ballerina!

Happy sixth birthday, sweet girl!  We love you SO much!

It's Christmas Time!

 We had one of our first Christmas events, Family Advent night at our church, last week!  There were crafts, face painting (a favorite), games with friends and we came home with our family advent wreath! We had a great time with our friends and are blessed with such a great church family!

 Gracie working very hard on decorating her cookie!

 Julia showing off her flower!

The girls made little boxes of goodies for shut ins and others that need a little "joy."  These two sweet girls are definitely my JOY this year!

American Girl High Tea (at USJ)

 We went to the High Tea with My Doll & Me at the USJ Holiday Mart on Saturday.  We met our friends Mary Payton and Eady and all shared a table with our grandmothers.  It was fun seeing all of the American Girl "dolls" at the tea and we came home with an autograph book that all of the dolls signed.

Julia, "Kit" and Gracie-what a fun morning to spend with some of our favorite people and characters!
