Birthday Girl

Today is Abby's 3rd birthday!  It is amazing how fast those 3 years have gone by!  She is turning into such a fun and lively person!  She has an enormous personality for her little frame, and is just the sweetest girl you've ever met.  She loves to play with her brother and cousins.  She LOVES Disneyland!  She loves animals and is especially into horses right now.  She is a huge fan of Shamu and talks about getting splashed last year EVERY day!  She has the sweetest smile and the biggest brown eyes.  We are so blessed to have her in our family and love her so much!

Happy Birthday Abby!!

Holiday Gymnastics Presentation

Abby has been taking gymnastics for the last 6 months or so and today was her Holiday Presentation. She was so excited for it!

Santa was there for it and took a picture with all her cousins that performed too.

She got a little shy towards the end of her performance, but she did a great job for it being her first public performance!

We are so proud of our little gymnast!

Enchanted Forest

We went to the Enchanted forest with Lidia's family. It was really cold, but we had lots of fun.

Jake was really warm!

The kids all loved seeing Santa and telling him what they wanted for Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree!

The day after Thanksgiving we drove up to Utah to cut down Christmas trees. We had a fun time and the kids loved playing in the snow!

We found a pretty good tree and cut it down to bring home and start decorating!

This is the first time we have ever had a real tree. Abby really liked to decorate it and had a hard time not putting all the ornaments together on the same branch.

And to top it all off...

... The Star!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year... or should we say Thanksgivings!

We had Thanksgiving dinner with both families this year and had so much fun and food!

Jake's Party

Party Time Mateys!

Jake's first birthday party was pirate themed.

We had so much fun hanging out, eating, and playing with all our family and friends.

Abby and Papa fell asleep, but luckily woke up in time for the sword fight!

We had such a great time... thanks to everyone who came!
