Sarah's 2nd Christmas

We had so much fun! The wrapping paper was definitely flying this year!! Our little angel was SO SPOILED!! I can't believe how many presents she received! She didn't know what to play with first! Having Grandma and Pop-Pop here made it such a special time, I'm so glad they were able to join in our celebration!

Happy Holidays!

Sarah and Santa Claus

Kindercare was kind enough to provide a Santa for their kids last Friday. We thought it was a great idea since we had yet to find the time to bring Sarah to the mall to meet him. We didn't think she'd like him especially with the hatred she showed toward Winnie the Pooh and Tigger at Disneyland the week before, BUT we had to try!

Sarah HEARD Santa's "Ho Ho Ho!" as she was walking down the hall from her classroom with Grandma and me before she even saw him. She then proceeded to CLIMB UP Grandma! The pictures show the rest...




We'll just give it another shot next year!

Sarah and Her Pink Oakland Shirt

Miss Sarah had a little accident during a diaper change at the Oakland airport on Sunday and naturally we figured we wouldn't need to pack an extra outfit in the diaper bag. I mean seriously, it's only an hour flight, right? Yeah...this is what happens when you DON'T have that extra outfit...

Didn't bother her a bit though! Of course it kept sliding off her shoulder toga-style but at least she had her boots on to keep her feet warm! Just what we always wanted...a souvenir pink Oakland t-shirt!

Christmas at Disneyland!

Yesterday we took Miss Sarah to check out the parade and the beautiful Christmas decorations at Disneyland. While it was a long day and the park was super-crowded we had a nice time and loved looking at everything! Enjoy the pics!

We had a LOVELY Thanksgiving holiday together! Typical Southern California warm weather allowed us to keep the doors and windows open to help cool off the kitchen where all of the goodies were cooking away! Chris even made his family stuffing recipe - it was delicious! Unfortunately, extended family could not join us but the 5 of us (including Riley and Murphy) had a nice, relaxing day!

We have so much to be thankful for! Healthy and happy friends and family...good jobs that we like and our biggest blessing of all, Sarah. She brings so much joy and happiness to our life!!

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
