Christmas 2008

What a Christmas! We spent Christmas with our family and friends and it was so wonderful. Here are some pics:

Christmas Party

We went to K's 1st Christmas party last night at her daycare. It was so nice of Leslie to do this for the kids. They did a little secret santa and Leslie bought them all a little something. It was really cute and everyone had a great time. And, Santa came!! Here are some pics of the party and of K before- my mom bought her this little dress and I just LOVE it!!

Girls Weekend

What a weekend I had! My friend Brianna came into town, so all the girls got together and went to see a movie- Nothing like the holidays. On Saturday, we went to dinner in Philly at Pod to celebrate my friend Lauren's birthday. Here are a few pictures from our girls' dinner.

Christmas Decorations

Here is a photo of our house all decorated for Christmas. We got 1 reindeer from my parents when they moved and then we added another to our collection. This year, R put wreaths on each of the windows and spotlights on the house.

Please Touch Museum

Our friend M & I took K & B to the Please Touch Museum in Philly. They had a blast!! It is so cute to watch them together- they are 5 months apart-to the day!- and they love each other. It's really cute and fun to watch them.

Last weekend, we had a mini family dinner. After dinner, we got out Rock Band. Who knew we had such a "Rock Band" queen on our hands???

Santa

R met me at the mall today & we took K to see Santa. He came around last night on the fire truck & she kept asking for him. So, we took her today. At first, she was so excited to see him. She held on to me, but I put her on his lap & she just stared. Then she told him he was on the firetruck & that she wanted a toy for Christmas. She did great!! Here are some pictures.

Checking Santa out- she wasn't too sure.

22 Months Old!

K is 22 months old today. I can't believe that in 2 months, she's going to be 2! Where did the time go? I think the pictures with the bear are getting a little better- she now knows that when I have a paper, camera and bear in hand, it's time for her picture :) She wanted to hold the paper this month, so this was the best i was going to get. Enjoy!

PS- Santa is coming through our neighborhood tonight so I am SO EXCITED!! I just hope that she's awake to see him!

Christmas Season is here!

I have always started decorating the house for Christmas on the day after Thanksgiving. And, this year, I had more help! K & R both pitched in & we got the whole house decorated, outside mostly done (by R), tree up and decorated! Last year K put the star on the tree. I think we will keep with that tradition since she's so good at it!
