They love it here so far we treated them to there first American burgers and fries they were not sure about them at first but enjoyed them. When we got back home mom and the younger2 had just gotten back from there trip to San Diego they had a lot of fun as well. We introduced the younger 2 to there new cousins as like I said before that side of my family treats my sisters like family.

We also took them to the Chocolate shop owned by Zack's grandma before running to get a few things mom needs. When we got home we made soup and sandwiches for lunch before settling down to watch American television so they could see what that's like.

March 16th dear diary we spent the day hanging out with the gang and doing our school work. We had lunch at a local diner where my cousins had another American classic fried chicken and waffles which they thought was strange but good. When we got done eating we ran to grab a few items grandma's carer had asked me to pick up. We then ran and got my cousins a library card. And then signed them up at the gym where my sisters and I take gymnastics and to the dance studio to sign them up. We then went home and got back to our school work after the little kids got home we went to gymnastics where we are preparing for a meet it went well even though I slipped and split the beam ouch. After practice we went to Chucky and Kimi's for biscuits and gravy which my cousins loved. When we got home I packed all the lunches for tomorrow as we all have field trips. The younger 2 are going to a play in the next town over while the home school group is going to a ballet in a town a couple hours north of here. Going to sign off and get ready for bed.
March 17th dear diary we left at 8 this morning for our home school trip to the ballet. We arrived at the theater and got a treat then went to our seats. We watched half the ballet before taking a quick pit stop and getting drinks. After the show was over we ate lunch in a nearby park. When we got done we went to a ballet themed museum which was really really neat. When we got home we met the kids at the bus stop all of us girls minus Ali and Kate went to ballet while the boys minus Chucky and Jake headed to baseball. Jake Kate and Ali went to there unified soccer practice while Chucky had swim practice. We were told that we would be having auditions for The ballet Cinderella in one week this is Clara's first week back since she broke her ankle. So she is slowly getting back into it as are my cousins who are still learning English. When we got home mom had a pile of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches no crust thank you waiting with an ice cold pitcher of milk my cousins were not huge fans of the sandwiches but that's ok. When we were finished eating we went with mom to a Disney themed bridal salon to make her an appointment. From there we went and grabbed new dance shoes for all of us including Marie and I getting our first pair of pointe shoes as we are old enough to start dancing en pointe or on our toes. When we got home mom asked me to help get grandma settled she is having a bad night. While I did this Marie put the Younger 2 to bed and Elsie and Claire made tea for our group going to sign off and help Elsie brush out her hair talk to you tomorrow.

As in exactly 6 months my mom will marry for the 2nd time. We are so excited and happy about this I am going to sign off and pack for our trip talk to you tomorrow.
March 19th dear diary we flew to Florida this morning and we started our 3 day trip by looking at wedding venues. Mom and her fiancee decided on the Disney wedding pavilion with a reception to follow at the grand Floridian hotel ballrooms. From there we went to a menu tasting as since they are doing the wishes package they are designing the menu for the buffet I wont go into every thing they chose but will say its going to be amazing as it will have make your own mashed potatoes and risotto. Along with tons of seafood and other yummy stuff from there we spent the rest of the day at Epcot and just hanging out as a family. Tomorrow we are doing a cake tasting and a few other items we need to get done. I am going to sign off as we are going to a Japanese restaurant.
March 20th dear diary we went to mom's cake tasting and design meeting this morning they decided on doing a 3 tier cake one tier being chocolate and peanut butter one being vanilla with strawberries and one being yellow with chocolate ganache filling. We then went to a few other meetings before enjoying a family day at the magic kingdom. We had lunch at the 50's prime time cafe as a treat and surprise to my cousins as in Paris people don't act like they do here in restaurants. The waitress had Elsie and Clair set the table asked Marie and I what color the bathroom soap was and Yelled at my future stepdad when he put his elbows on the table. We split 4 sampler plates which have pot roast meat loaf fried chicken greens and mashed potatoes. We each had a milk shake which was a first for my cousins. The table had 4 peanut butter chocolate shakes and 4 peanut butter and jelly shakes. We also split some peanut butter chocolate cakes for dessert. When we were done we rolled out as we were stuffed we then headed to the hotel to swim and rest as we leave in the morning. Going to sign off and go calm Clara down I think shes having a bad dream.
March 21st dear diary when we arrived home from Florida us ladies met the other girls and moms along with Zack's auntie and Alex's aunt and grandma. At the Disney wedding dress place where mom tried on lots of dresses before deciding on a Cinderella ball gown in a shade of cream that's very very very beautiful on her. We then looked at dresses for the Little girls and I as we are mom's attendants and grandma as she will be the mother of the bride and needs something beautiful to wear. For the girls we decided on a powder blue mid length dress with a lace collar and cuffs on the long sleeves. For me I would wear the long gown version of my sister dresses and have ribbon instead of lace they will wear cream flats while I get my first pair of low heels. Grandmas dress is in a very pretty light pink floor length dress with cap sleeves and a powder blue jacket as the wedding colors are Cinderella inspired being powder blue light pink like her first fancy dress and yellow like her hair. We then went to lunch at a french restaurant. When we got home we rested and watched movies as its been a whirlwind of activities since we came back from Paris. We will be having lots and lots of busy days the next several weeks so signing off to take some time to myself.
An my longest chapter I have ever written.
