Christmas Morning 2010

What an incredible Christmas morning...we have so many pictures but here are a few highlights. Anya and Pops came over for the big reveal of the bounty that Santa brought :o)

Charlee was mesmerized by the basketball hoop with a plush Sleeping Beauty in the hoop...Sam was more interested in the wrapping paper and snuggling with Pops

Santa and the reindeer enjoyed their goodies and left a note back to Charlee and Sam

Charlee was overjoyed with the princess castle...if you look closely you can see she is rockin' her Jessie cowgirl boots!

Charlee ready for her pancake breakfast decked out in her Aurora necklace and earrings with the Jessie boots for an extra 'kick'!

Christmas Eve 2010

We had an amazing Christmas Eve spent at Disneyland during the day and making a plate of goodies for Santa at night. The weather was beautiful and we had a blast on Dumbo, hanging with Tigger and Pooh and eating lunch...here are some pics of the day:

Charlee is Norm's clone in these pictures!

Our happy Sam who is walking around like a wild man, saying Mama, Dada, Hi, Bye, Baba and learning to wave

Sam's first time on Dumbo!

Charlee's letter complete with animal crackers(the kids fav), carrots for the reindeer and a glass of milk for Santa. Charlee was so excited to go to bed and wake up for Christmas! Sam, even though he had no idea what was going on, loved his first Christmas Eve.

Tangled

I am SO behind on the blog so I will be playing some catch up :o) On December 10 we took Charlee to see her first movie in the theatre...Tangled! She brought her Rapunzel doll with her and stayed transfixed on the movie for the entire time! Anya joined us for the inaugural trip to the movies.

Disneyland with Anya and Pops

Disneyland is so beautiful for the Holidays and we were lucky enough to spend a day there with Anya and Pops! They were gracious enough to take Charlee around Disneyland while we did some Christmas shopping...we were so thankful! We all reconvened for the beautiful Christmas parade...here are some shots captured by Anya...

Charlee loves the "Witch" in the window...the Queen from Snow White who peeks out every few minutes

December

We had the joy of going out to Hemet to visit with Great Aunt Lois, Great Uncle Art and Aunt Diane. We hung out at their beautiful home and had a delicious lunch in a local resturant in downtown Hemet. Art was greeted by the staff by name and we had such a great time!

The kids are starting to play with each other more and more...this leads to some battles over toys but for the most part they do great...here is some fun with the laundry basket!

Bath time for Two

Bath time has become double time with both kids able to enjoy together. They both absolutely love the water and therefore the bath has become another play area. I can't wait to put these pictures in their high school yearbooks!

Breakfast with Santa!

Our amazing daycare puts together a breakfast with Santa every year...it was such a blast! Charlee was so excited to see the jolly man...Sam, not so much :o) Anya, Pops, and Grandma joined in the festivities and we had a great time. Here are some fun shots of our morning...

OMG! Santa is HERE!

Our little Sam-- 10 months old

Charlee is mesmerized and Sam can't wait to get out of there!

Santa brought Charlee a Rapunzel doll which she adored immediately

Sam still concerned and Charlee with a "You are not taking this back to the elves, Santa" look on her face!

Lisa, our amazing daycare angel singing with Charlee

My big girl...I can't believe this is her THIRD Christmas.

Sam with Grandma...much happier than with Santa :o)

Chillin' with Pops
