Christmas Day

Julia found a doll house Christmas morning... she was very excited! She was also excited to find 'Baby Jesus' in a basked wrapped in a blanked under our tree. She asked to hold him and carried 'Baby Jesus' around most of the day.

Johnny is sitting! He sat long enough for me to grab the camera and take pictures! He is looking at some new Einstein books from cousin Audrey.

Singing 'Happy Birthday' to Baby Jesus.

Early Christmas Eve

Since we are going away to visit family for Christmas we decided to have our own early family Christmas.

Yummy frosting!

Julia wasn't too interested in the cookie, just the frosting.

Elmo PJ's!!
We also watched a Veggie Tales Christmas movie, Julia enjoyed the time hanging out with Mommy and Daddy.

Elf Apprentice

Here is our little 'Elf Apprentice' and big sister!

He's very cute in red.

Taking pictures with my boy.

Cousin Audrey

My brother Kevin, wife Allison and daughter Audrey came to visit. We had a special time together, Julia and Audrey got along very well.

Uncle Kevin is lots of fun!

Johnny the centerpiece.

Fun in the bath with Audrey!

The Bumbo Chair

Johnny's first rice cereal! Sometime's he loves it other times he wants nothing to do with it.

So I bought this bumbo seat for Johnny...

I never thought Julia would fit in it!

Julia likes to climb into Johnny's crib at the end of his naps, and take his binky... it's pretty cute.

Goodbye Ines!

Ines (from Germany) stayed with us almsot 3 months as a part-time live-in Nanny. Talk about being spoiled! She helped me out with the kids and our home. She loved our kids and we loved her. She's a beautiful girl and we are so thankful to get to know her. This was a very sad day - saying good-bye at the Santa Barbara Air Bus.

A silly picture of Johnny trying to get the giraffe in his mouth.

October/November

A fun time at the pumpkin patch!
So I'm sorry, I've been slacking on updating the blog... I will try to do better.

Our cute pea pod... Julia was a ballerina, she loved it!

Silly Julia!

Johnny is growing.
