Christmas Morning

Christmas morning we started a NEW tradition- German apple pancakes!! Yummy! Grandma Gay's recipe turned out great. We had a few Christmas carols and then started in on the presents. Hannah was a little overwhelmed by all the gifts- next year we will go a bit easier (yeah right!) or maybe let her open one per day so she has time to play with them all. click here for more pictures

Hannah was kind of obsessed with Santa Claus this year, talking about him a lot, but when she finally got to meet him she was TERRIFIED! Here is the documentation~ oh well, maybe next year (sigh)

Jenn and Tristan!

My new buddy/walking partner Jenn and her son Tristan, who is 2 months older than Cole. We have been BUSTING it about 4x a week, melting away those post-baby pounds!

Turkey Day 2009

We had my family over to our house for Thanksgiving. I got to work an early shift and got off at 4 in time for dinner. Sarah, Kelly's roomate and my mom's cousine Debbie joined us for dinner.

Here are some pics of Hannah helping Grandma bake the pies!
And Cole was all smiles :)

Halloween Wigs

Kelly brought over these wigs left over from Halloween costumes, and we dressed our little guy up. He looked FABULOUS!!

Maui 09

The first week of November we took a vacation to Maui with both kids, Grandma, Aunt Kelly, and James and Jojo. The traveling part was not-so-fun but once we were there everyone had a blast! We stayed at the Maui Marriott right on Kaanapali beach. The pool was AWESOME and the kids had lots of fun playing on the pirate ship. Mommy and Daddy really liked the beachfront massage station :)
