Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas. Santa was very good to us. After a certain point we stopped taking pictures....so here are some of my favorites. I'm so glad Lilly loves her Kitchen. Jeff was up till 4:30 putting it together....not the first all niter we will pull on Christmas eve I'm sure. Thee Kitchen, Leapster and baby kitty (tiny stuffed one in a carrier) were among her favorites. Charlie LOVES his new talking/singing doggie. We are looking forward to a wonderful 2010! Charlie enjoyed his first Christmas. He is such a wonderful boy. He's close to crawling and hopefully will have some teeth soon....poor boy.

Christmas Eve 2009

we had a great time unwrapping our traditional jammies and books. Things are so exciting around here. Babies first Christmas and Lilly is really understanding the whole thing. Look for more pics of the big day.




Boy does she love him

Baking with Nana

Nana came down and got to have tons of fun with the kids. She is the best nana ever. Lilly loved hanging and baking with her. We were very sad to see her go.

Bath Time

Bath time is one of Charlies favorite times of day. Here he is sampling the bubbles...YUMMMY

Bedtime Stories

so Lilly has been really into telling us stories, making up songs ect... so last night in an effort to not go to sleep she told me the story of Pocahontas, this is good people.

" Once apon a time there was a prince named John Smith. He got caught by the bad guys and SQUISHED (squeezes her hands together). Then Pocahontas got SQUISHED. THEN...the aliens and Michael Jackson came and the bad guys threw them in the trash, (looks at me), "gross right". Then they threw them in again and again and again "gross right", So then John shot the bad guys (makes a gun with her fingers) PEWWW, PEWWW, PEWWW. And they all lived happily ever after"

That is the best bedtime story I've ever heard.

Lilly Moments

Lilly and I went down to one of the many events in Burbank this holiday season. On our way she was playing with words, Pirate ice cream, Pirate lollypop, Pirate window. After a couple minutes of this "game" she looks at me and says...."mom, you think my game is funny" Me: " I do" Lilly: "you think my game is crazy" Me: "Yes, I do"

She is so funny and is very into making up games and stories and songs. She LOVES to sing Christmas songs, Frosty, Santa is coming to town, We wish you a Merry Christmas....in fact she got a special hat from her teacher cause she was the only one in class that knows the song for the Christmas pageant, not only does she know their song, but all the other class songs. I guess the 40 times we sang/heard Santa Clause is coming to town really paid off.

She is such a joy to be around and the best big sister around.

We are so looking forward to this holiday. We are getting to take some time off and looking forward to being together as a family.
