Visit from Elizabeth, and Decoration Shots!

Cousin Elizabeth visited. We had a blast, and Gracie loved it all! We went to Vasona park, had quite an adventure when Gracie needed to go potty. She wore her special star glasses for the light show! Elizabeth and Gracie played and made cupcakes! SO FUN!!

Ben slept through most of the experience!

Here is a pic of the Christmas tree, the angel on top, one of graces favorite features didn't make the picture, because I had to capture my cutie patootie ben!

Visit to Santa at Christmas in the Park

Little Miss Gracie was sooooo excited to see santa this year, it hasn't been this way since she was 7 months old. Here is a video of her running to his lap. She told him that she wanted Rapunzel and we told Santa that she has been very good this year. Ben was indifferent to Santa but smiled when I jumped around!

Gracie loved the merry go round!
The Ferris wheel was fun too!

My Little Crawler

Ben is starting to crawl! In this video he is going forwards, normally he ends up moving backwards. Watch out house, here he comes!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Snapshot of Gracie and Daddy decorating the Christmas Tree


Two weekends ago we went to Miles & Lucas' 4th Birthday party. It was a ton of fun to see everyone, and santa came too!

After that Birthday Party we headed to another party for Maddy, one of Gracies friends at school!

Our little Ben is getting so big. Sitting up in the tub, rolling around & getting ready to crawl. He sometimes waves a hand for hello and goodbye, and sighs like he is saying hi! We love him to pieces. Also he is quite the snuggler and love to be a part of the action. I can't believe he is 8 1/2 months old!

Gracie at dance class this past weekend, love the cape, for Super Gracie!

Gracie and I went to the Nutcracker at teh San Jose Performing Arts Center. It was great, we went to the childs matinee, but it was over 2 hours long. It was really beautiful, and Graces favorite part was prince and the girl on the swan. She also loved the snow faries.. She missed her nap for this special occasion, but almost fell asleep towards the end of the play. Next year we hope the whole family can go and maybe the Grandmas, aunties and cousins!!

Grammy and Sir also came for a visit this weekend, it was so great to have them at our house. The kids loved it and so did we. A big thank you to them both for their help with Christmas cards, the yard and playing with the kiddos! I am so excited the christmas cards made it in the mail today!!

Gracie's 1st Preschool Picture/s!

So cute, I asked Gracie where her teeth were in the picture with the blue background. My teeth are in my mouth was her answer. I think it is such a sweet picture. I love the class photo too.
