Christmas

We spent Christmas with Todd's family this year, and had a great time. Well I guess I should say the girls and I had a great time. Todd was sick for the whole trip. He got the flu and was pretty much down for the count. I felt bad for him, he really didn't get to enjoy much of anything.

Here are the girls at my family party the weekend before Christmas. We were at my aunt Judy's home. I always love that party!




Here is Gabby and her cousin Jenner. Jenner is about 3 months older than she is. I wish we lived closer to them. I would love for her to be closer to her cousins! Looks like they found some treasure together...



Here we are with Grandpa Dan. Gabby loved her Grandpa, he taught her to blow kisses.



Some shots of Christmas morning.

We had a great time at Sally and Dan's. Ryan,Sarah and their girls were there too. It was so nice to spend some time with them. I really enjoy Todd's family. I wish we lived closer.

Fashion Corner with Gabby (Late Christmas Edition)

I know it's way past Christmas, but I had to put this outfit on the Corner!

Here she is "Decking the Halls" in her Santa dress, trimmed with white fur, and black patent leather shoes.



For a brief moment I got her to wear the hat...

A Little Catchin' Up...

Well yes, it's me. Sorry I've been gone so long. We were in Utah until the middle of Jan. and since we've been home, it just has been a little crazy. Nothing really changed except Gabby became 6 times more curious and destructive, I hurt my back, and the computer had some BIG viruses to clean out. All in all it's been tough to blog. I did want to share a few things that happened in the last couple months, if nothing but for my own enjoyment.

In Dec. (obviously) Macie's class had a special "Santa" day at a farm here in Brentwood. I think it was open for the everyone, but on this day for a few hours the special kids and their families could see and get a picture taken with Santa.


The picture with Santa didn't turn out, of course, but we got other fun shots! Here is Macie with the turkeys. She thought they were pretty funny.


Here she is going through the "hay maze". She loved that even more!


Gabby and Dad just hanging out.



It was really a nice outing. It was very cold though, and we didn't dress very warm. Todd got a little chilly in his shorts.
I have to say it seemed a little weird seeing Santa on this farm where they sold Christmas trees, and their wasn't any snow around. I'm still getting used to this California living.

After we went for a little lunch and hot chocolate. It felt so nice, just my little family together. I am very blessed.

Below is Gabby in her first debut in the "big girl" chair. She absolutely loved it... and the spoon she was banging on the table. Oh yeah, the hair... the girl won't leave her ponies in!



Great Day!
