What We Have Been Up To - Time Flies When You're Having Fun

We have been busy busy busy since Christmas so our apologies for not posting sooner.

Geesh, it's already February. Where did January Go?

Well here's what we have been up to....

Mark took the week off between Christmas and New Years and we went on several day trips.

We went to Griffith Park in LA where Emma rode a pony and we rode on a train, we also went to Carlsbad and San Diego where we visited the Zoo and took our annual trip to Hotel Del Coronado.

We had a wonderful Christmas as we celebrated with our family the Birth of Jesus.

Sara and Emma had a terrific time playing with their aunts and uncles and cousin. They really got into the spirit of unwrapping presents. It bought smiles to our faces to see them excited to experience the wonder of what Santa had a also brought them.

It was so sweet to hear Emma sing "Happy Birthday to Jesus" as we had a party for Him.

On New Years Eve, we had our first of many slumber parties at Aunt Dee's house.

We ate yummy food, the girls played with their toys, and watched the ball drop at midnight. The girls and Alissa camped out on the floor in sleeping bags and Mark slept in the guest room.

You see the daddy snores and the girls need their beauty sleep.

It's a true joy being a family of 4

They just couldn't stay awake 'til midnight

Emma getting her face painted like a pink tiger.

She sat still and was so proud to have a new look.

What a big girl she is becoming.

Emma Loves Loves Loves the swings at our local park

Sara FINALLY has teeth. YAY!! We hope teething gets easier.

Wow 10 months old. Really?!? where has the time gone?

Well we officially have a "walker".

Sara loves her newly found freedom of being vertical as she cruises all over the house
