Today was Alexa's VIP (Very Important Preschooler) Day at school. She has been waiting for this day since school started in September. She took ice cream as a treat and she took squeaky shoes from China and her Nemo from DisneyWorld and her favorite book, Angelina on Stage, to share. She told the class her favorite color is purple (that is a change from her old favorite pink) and her favorite food is cheese pizza. Mom was there for most of the day.

The class sings a song to the VIP:

She is special.

She is special.

If you look,

You will see

Someone very special

Someone very special

It is Alexa!

It is Alexa!

Mom couldn't agree more!

Last month we were very tired of the snow and cold so we headed to Florida to see Grandma and Grandpa and visit Disney World. We hoped to swim in the ocean too but it was a little chilly and this was the most "basking in the sun" we were able to do. The swimsuits never left the suitcase.Grandma and Grandpa joined us on a three day trip to Disney World. Epcot was our first day and we were able to take off our jackets for a while but we needed hot chocolate during the fireworks!
We had a princess breakfast at Epcot. I think the two Snow Whites were adorable!

I joined Alexa for a picture with Minnie and Mickey the next day at Disney World. We got so wet earlier in the day that Alexa looked at me and asked to go back to the hotel because she was wet down to her underwear!

We made it to the end of the day though and really enjoyed the fireworks that night.

When we landed at the Des Moines airport Alexa saw a flight attendant that she had not seen during the flight. Alexa looked at her and asked "Did you drive?" The woman responded that she did not drive " but I was with you". Alexa gave her a strange look then asked in a real puzzled voice "Are you.....God?"

Then we were back home to reality. None of the snow melted while we were gone.

Now three weeks later the snow is starting to melt and I even have crocus coming up. Spring is on its way!
