Kenny Gift

Last weekend Nick's parents came to visit and they brought Dylan a present, Nick's old Cabbage Patch Kid. His name is Kenny Gift. When Nick was little his parents too him to the Cabbage Patch Kid Hospital in San Francisco and let him pick any CPK he wanted. Kenny is the one he choose. As you can see, Dylan loves him just as much as Nick!

Happy Birthday Giada Coldani!

Last weekend we celebrated Giada Coldani's 1st birthday! I can't believe how quickly these kids are growing up. Mike & Julie threw an awesome party complete with yummy food, great entertainment (beer pong & football) and wonderful friends.

San Diego Vacation

Last weekend we enjoyed our long weekend in San Diego. Tim, Tara & Blake invited everyone to their brand spanking new house that was just built! The house is AMAZING. I can't believe Tim & Tara designed it. I spent a majority of the weekend picking my jaw up off the floor. The Littrell's were awesome hosts and we all had a wonderful time.

Dylan was really good on both flights. We had an hour delay on the way home (it actually rained in Southern CA and everything shut down) and Dylan was still really good. The group went on a hike (complete with an ENORMOUS snake scare), had some quality girl time, enjoyed a private sushi chef and ooed & awed at all of the adorable kiddos. Sunday morning Nick's Dad came and picked us up so we could spend a night with them. Dylan and I both got haircuts with Marisa while we were there!

Happy Birthday Katie!

And another Emery update. She can now sing the ABC's!!!! She is brilliant!!

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it's time for another Christmas post. This year has FLOWN by. Dylan has changed so much since last Christmas. Last year he spent the morning napping on my lap and nursing. This year he tore into presents and ran around with his cousins. So fun!!!! We spent Christmas Eve at Jama's stuffing ourselves with tamales. Then we were so fortunate to have everyone at our house again for Christmas morning and spent Christmas evening at my parent's house. My sister and Jorge were missed but I'm sure they're having a great time enjoying the summer weather in Chile.

Everyone helped with the Christmas baking!

Christmas Eve

I told him to stop playing with the "people" and Jama replied that it was OK because Baby Jesus was "calling to him".

Bubbles!

Opening his stocking Christmas morning

Cutest PJ's ever! Thanks Coldani's!

Can't you see I'm on the phone... (I thought we had a few more years before this phase)

He shoots...

He scores...

YAY!!!!!

Funniest gift Marisa!!! (Nick's Dad's name is Michael and his sister gave this shirt to Susan)

It was a Sunggie kind of year

Loving his rocking horse from Grammy & Grandpa

Trying out the new roller blades!

Apparently I use the nose aspirator a little too much... (that's toy mustard in his hand)

Amy & Jorge were missed
