Story Time with Miss Julianna

Julianna has a wild imagination. She loves reading books, listening to books being read, and loves sharing her stories with everyone. She has a very captive audience. No one is going to walk away!

this picture taken in early January. Anna Grace is 4months old

this video was taken in February. It just cracks me up. Hope you get a chuckle out of it too :). I love how she shows the pictures to all her "kids" .
