I love this time of year! We are off to Arizona tomorrow, but I wanted to post a few pictures before we left and tell everyone...MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Here is our Christmas card from this year...pics from our church's Christmas party...some pics of little Nora (just for fun) and some pics of Meredith getting a haircut (thanks Carolyn for coming up and cutting our hair...thank you, thank you!!!).
Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Years!
It seems like every year, as soon as we hit Halloween...the rest of the year flies by in a blur. This year is no different. I can't believe it is almost Christmas already and...true to form...we are super busy and it will be 2009 before we know it! This past week we tried to slow down a bit, but we still made it to a ceramic studio to create a masterpiece or two...thanks to M's preschool class!...and we went to a very fun park that we need to visit more often! Here are some pictures from our week...including some bath time fun with baby Nora, Meredith's preschool fieldtrip, park pictures and a few pictures just for fun.
Just a sidenote...I know I take way too many pictures...of everything! Sorry!! I just can't help myself! Taking pictures has become an obsession...I just feel like life is flying by so fast that I have to capture everything I can, so that when I look back...I'll remember every moment and I'll be able to remember my sweet girls...exactly as they are...right now. You know what I mean? Life is so precious.
We stayed local for Thanksgiving this year and enjoyed a nice, quiet day with Robert's family. Not everyone was there, but even with just a few families...there were still about 25 of us! Luckily, Barbara was one of the 25 at mom and dad's place. We haven't seen her in months and it was so good to see her! Nora was especially happy to finally meet her aunt!
Thanks for feeding us and putting up with us, mom! We had a great day!
On Friday, we went to a neat little park in Garden Grove. Leah, Gent, Roy & Barbara came with us. Fun times!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend, too!
Nora finally had her first taste of "real" food this last week. We gave her some rice cereal, but unfortunately, she didn't like it very much. Everytime she took a bite she would shudder or gag. Poor thing. I tried to give her some rice cereal again this morning to see if she liked it more the second time...nope! Too bad! I was hoping that with a little rice cereal in her tummy at night, she would start sleeping better! Oh well!
