What Lauren loves!

I attended Lauen's schools' Valentine's party yesterday and found on the bulletin board on cute red hearts where they had asked each one of the kids "what they loved". As I reading, a lot of the little kids loved mommies and daddies and their friends. Not my little diva - oh no! Lauren loves " Dora, um, my ugg boots, um, my dora house and little barn rabbits". Yeah - she has also told everyone at school that she is going to be a big sister - FALSE!
They also said they got a kick out of her the other day when they asked her where her socks were. She told them very matter of factly "you don't wear socks with ugg boots". Like duh, don't you know the golden rule of ugg boots- NO SOCKS. They just laughed.

Disney vacation & cruise

Grandpa & Grandma Kemper took Lauren to Disney World on January 14th. This was Lauren's first plane ride and the first time being away from Mommy & Daddy for more than a weekend. We stayed at the Summerbay Resort which was 5 miles from Disney. After checking in we drove to Disney Town which has a lot of rides and shopping. That was when Lauren first saw Cinderella (statue) and thought she was the real thing. The next day we went to the Magic Kingdom and had a wonderful time. We let Lauren do what ever she wanted, since this was her vacation! The next day at Magic Kingdom was spent getting autographs from charachters that we missed the first day and riding the same fun rides. Upon leaving the park, Lauren had already fallen asleep in the stroller. No time for naps at Disney!

We left Orlando on the 17th and drove to the Jacksonville Airport to get on the cruise ship. We were taking a 4 night cruise to Freeport and Nassau. As Lauren and I were walking out of the bathroom at the airport (Grandpa was filming us which is unusual for him to be using the video camera) I looked up and saw Shana and Chad who were surprising us at the airport and going on the cruise with us. I was shocked! We all had a good time on and off the ship. Lauren and Grandpa loved playing in the sand and being in the ocean. The water was quite cold! I hope Lauren remembers this first big vacation by looking at pictures, video and talking about it.
