first of many...

well, this is leia's "birthday month"...her actual birthday is next tuesday, but it seems like our girls always have multiple celebrations. tonight we took them to see the new adorable movie, "Up". it was SO cute! we didn't know how leia was gonna do during the movie since she doesn't sit still very long, but she watched every second of it until her popcorn ran out (yes, we allowed her to have popcorn tonight...it always makes me nervous with kids this young, but she was on my lap and i made sure she ate one piece at a time). she said, "WOW, mama this is a big t.v. (holding her hands far apart)!" anyways, after the popcorn ran out, she was kinda fidgety and then about 1/2 way through, she fell asleep. but, derek and me and kaia really liked it a lot. i can guarantee you i enjoyed it more than Star Trek derek dragged me to a few weeks ago.
then, we went to California Pizza Kitchen since pizza is one of leia's favorite foods. as you'll see from the pics, she was still kinda groggy/cranky when we first got there. poor girl...it's SO hard almost being 3! :)







she LOVES animals so much!
