A Holiday Message From Hannah

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Holidays with Holly!

Earlier in the week Holly had us over for a holiday party...with Juliette!
We did lots of neat stuff like play with toy trains, watch holiday cartoons from mom and dad's day, hop on a trampoline, and bake sugar cookies!



Thanks Holly!

Smooshed!

A Week of Firsts

On Hannah and dad's first full week together, she did a bunch of things for the first time:

First Trip to Porto's

First Potty...in the Toilet!

First Time on Slide By Herself!

First Time Wrestling a Giant Mutated Caterpillar!

We're so proud of our girl! Coming Soon: First Time Making Mom and Dad Dinner, First Time Scrubbing the Floors, and First Time Filling Out Taxes for the Family...

Thanks Yoya!

Lola came by and helped Mommy and Daddy take care of Hannah for while Dad was crunching at work. Under Lola's care, Hannah learned to walk more confidently, eat many more kinds of foods, increase her vocabulary and ultimately become a much more fun an d expressive kid. Lola played a huge part in Hannah's growth and mom and dad couldn't have appreciated it more!
I think Hannah's shirt says it all. Thanks Lola!

Our Thanksgiving Weekend

Like last year we celebrated Thanksgiving twice this year! Once with Grandma and Grandpa in the desert...




...and again with Ojiisan and Obaasan in the O.C. two days later.

Remember last year's Sukiyaki Christmas? Well this year we continued the trend and had a Sukiyaki Thanksgiving!
How can we not be thankful for such a loving family!

What's Your Name?

Ok, so I gave her a little hint...

Cousin Jude's 2nd Birthday!

Last weekend was Cousin Jude's 2nd Birthday!
Jude's had a little chain gang theme going on. Horizontal stripes only!

Jude is sure growing up fast! But despite the number of candles....Jude is really two.
Happy Birthday Cuz!
