~Italian Photo shoot Summer 2014~

Hi lovely readers! It's Bella. Over the summer I had the opportunity to go to ITALY with my owner. I love fashion and beautiful design, so I obviously adored going to Venice and Florence. We also spent a day in Lucca, but since it was only for one day (right before we headed home) we didn't take many pictures. Actually, most of the pictures are in Florence. Well, enjoy!

In Venice:

Check out the water behind me! There was also this really cool statue outside our hotel.

Venice has it's own special charm… 

Our hotel was so pretty!

In Florence:

Ah, so relaxing… 

Look at that view!

I think the shadow in this was so cool.

There was also a pool.

I loved to get a break from the super hot sun.

There was also this beautiful garden that was nice to walk in.

The food was DELICIOUS!! 

The art was really stunning. I liked how each painting told a story. 

What a relaxing vacation!

In Lucca:

This is the incredible view from our hotel. You can see the town in the distance.

There was also a pool there. 

My summer was wonderful, and Italy was so much fun! I hope you enjoyed the photos!

Love,

Fun in the Snow/Christmas is Coming!

Hi guys--

Lanie again. Sorry for our absence. We've been pretty busy with school, so I haven't been able to show you these pictures. Here they are!

After waking up in the morning, the day after Thanksgiving, while still in MN  I quickly got dressed and ran to get my cousins. 

The three of us went outside to play in the snow.

I walked over to a big pine tree. I love snow so much!

"Hey guys, look at my snow angel!" Elizabeth called, laying down on the snow.

"That would be the perfect place to go sledding." Saige pointed, her hair covered in snowflakes. 

After that we went back inside. Now I believe Kit would like a turn…

Hello! So this isn't my official post, I'll do a longer one soon, but since it's my job to tell you what we've been doing, I kind of stepped in! Did anyone else watch the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting on TV the other night? Well we did! I love watching the tree light up right in front of your eyes. All of those lights--how did they even get them on the tree?! For me, it really marks the end of November into the holiday season. And I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, and a lot of people get caught up in

the presents, but that's not what dollidays are about. We all come together to enjoy each other and appreciate who we are. Well, enough of my blabbering, enjoy the pictures! (We photographed the TV screen.)

I mean, look at all those lights! Christmas is coming…Stay tuned for more holiday posts!

Traveling Day

Hi guys--

Lanie again. So I meant to post this on the actual day we traveled, but I was so busy with activities in MN that I didn't have time to post this until now. But better late than never, right? 

At 7:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day (11/27) we drove over to the airport. After security and all that, we had extra time before we boarded so we sat down in the waiting room, when who should I see but my cousins Elizabeth and Saige!

"Hi!" I called, waving them over. (They were traveling together since they're sisters).

Just then our zone began to board so we all got on the plane and found our seats. 

"I love taking off on airplanes!" Saige said excitedly, peering out the window.

"Me too." I grinned.

Once we were in the air I read my book Manners and Mischief,

       

watched a movie on my computer, 

and read the newest addition of the AG Magazine. I love solving the puzzles!

Isn't that view of the clouds cool? :)

After getting off the plane we went to a restaurant for Thanksgiving lunch with the rest of my relatives. We unfortunately didn't take any pictures there because our camera died. Then all of us kids ran around and played outside (which was really cold!) while the grown-ups talked until it was time to go and get some sleep. Elizabeth, Saige, and I went over to my Grandmother's house to stay, where we charged our camera, so we do have pictures. 

I walked into my room, which had the sweet little bed all pre-made. 

After getting washed up, 

and letting Lulu out of her crate,

I flopped right into bed!

I'll post about the rest of our trip tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving!

Packing for MN!

Hi! Lanie here. Guess what? Tomorrow I head out to Minneapolis to visit my relatives for Thanksgiving! I will be meeting my cousins Elizabeth and Saige.  So today I had to pack for MN.

First I packed my carry on bag--which included my computer,

a journal, the book Manners and Mischief, a magazine, and some colored pencils.

Next came the toiletries! 

Of coarse I'll need my toothbrush and hair accessories!

I began looking through my drawers for clothes. Starting with my shirts,

then the socks,

dresses,

and finally shoes! (Yes we have a lot, but hey, we are six girls.)

Ah, these fuzzy boots will do.

I will defiantly need a coat. It will be so cold when we get there!

I laid out my outfit for the next day. 

I'm so excited to see my family for Thanksgiving!

Welcome!
