Ginger stayed with us for a while, and as you can see, she and Cody had a blast!

Merry Christmas!

Wow what a first Christmas! Luckily my big sister showed me the ropes.  And to do most of the unwrapping:)  Christmas Eve we went over Abby & Logan's Grandma's house and had a blast!  It was a really nice night.  Christmas Day we went to Marie & Olivier's house for Christmas dinner and presents.  We all opened presents together and had another great evening.  But it wasn't over yet!  Grandma & Grandpa flew in!  We went to pick them up and headed home.  Santa came a day later to our house this year.  So we hurried up and got into bed and when we woke up the next morning, the tree was stuffed with presents!  Here is a picture of the aftermath...

Mommy & Grandma made a turkey dinner.  And once it was in the oven, Daddy & Grandpa put in the new kitchen sink that Daddy got for Mommy!  Mommy was soooo excited!  Then we had turkey dinner that night and just hung out to play with all of our new presents. 

Sunday we had a nice morning, then went out for lunch and frozen yogurt.  Then came back to play some more before Grandma had to leave to take Grandpa to the airport.  Boo hoo...miss him already:(  But at least Grandma is here for a whole week!

Getting Ready For Christmas!

We did some decorating this weekend!  Gingerbread houses!  Abby & Logan came over to join in the fun.  Preparations are in the works for Christmas...the stockings are hung, by the chimney (fireplace) with care...

Daddy, as usual, just slept while I worked hard at tummy time and Mommy put up the decorations.  I'm even getting my head up a little - my neck strength is really improving.

Cookies & Caroling

Today was cookies & caroling day at school!  Mommy and Penny came to watch and help me decorate.  It was fun and yummy!

Smiles!

Check it out, Penny's first smile, caught on camera!

Happy Hanukah!

Tonight was the sixth night of Hanukah, and Daddy and I lit the candles together, and he sang me the songs (with a little help from the iPhone)!  Happy Hanukah to everyone!

Our Tree Is Up!

And it makes a great hiding place!

Parties, Visitors, and More!

This weekend we had some visitors come in!  Sarah (and her parents) flew in for the weekend!  We hung out at the house until after naps, then headed out for Clare's birthday party.  It was a lot of fun for the bigger kids, I just hung out with Mommy and Daddy.  I heard there was some great cake and fun!  Afterwards we went over to Kristopher & Ella's house to see Godiva for a little while, and headed home. 

Sunday we went back to Kristopher & Ella's house for the holiday brunch.  There were so many presents around!  We all exchanged presents and had some great breakfast food (well, for those of us that eat food!).  After the holiday brunch it was time to take Sarah and her parents back to the airport:(  We headed there to drop them off, then drove down to Marie's birthday party!  After Marie's party we went back to their house for cake and hanging out.  What a busy weekend!

B&V Holiday Party

Tonight was the holiday party at Daddy's office! Check out Penny, all dressed up:



And I spent some time working at Daddy's desk:

Penny even sat on Santa's lap! He brought all of us kids presents.

And the Busy Holiday Season Begins...

Wow, when I came into this world a few weeks ago, I didn't realize how busy my family would be! Luckily I have my big sister to take care of me...





Three weeks old picture:





Friday night it started with a trip to the Martinez snow park and parade. We went with Abby & Logan and had a blast! Check Amelia out making snow angels...





Then we sat and watched the lights parade! It was great!





I also learned that our family really likes this one football team, the Gators. Turns out that the game on Saturday didn't go so well, but Kristopher & Ella came over and made it a better time!





Mommy even made a gator cake!





Sunday we met Marie & Olivier at Gilroy Gardens for their holiday festival. So much fun!





Uncle Stephane even bought all the bigger kids light swords!
