Disneyland

It was our last trip to Disneyland as a family of 3 for awhile. Casey wasn't up for renewing his annual pass, but we had so much fun. Kylie met Minnie for the first time and was speechless. She kept blowing her kisses and giving Minnie hugs. We went on a ton of rides since the waits were all 10 minutes or less. And we got a really good spot for the parade. All the kids got to dance in the parade if they wanted, and of course Kylie was first in line. As I was going through my pictures, I noticed this random Asian lady smiling in the back of half our main street pictures. I think she thought we wanted her in the pictures. We walked over 9 miles yesterday and ended the night with a Main Street Sunday! Yum.

Riverdance

I went with my mom, my aunt and my cousin to the Pantages Theater to see Riverdance Saturday night. We first went to the Grove to have dinner and do some shopping. It was the most amazing show I have seen. The talent these musicians and dancers had was unreal. M

Gavin's 1st birthday

We hosted my cousins son's 1st birthday party at our house over the weekend. It was a sports theme and he really enjoyed his cake! So did Kylie. She kept sneaking up to his special moment and taking finger fulls of frosting. Then looks at me like, "What mom? I didn't have any cake!". We love you Gavin and Happy Birthday!

Kylie's 1st dance class

Today we started our mommy and me dance class. It is at the studio where i danced at for 13 years and the teacher taught me when I went there. They allowed her to start a bit young b/c they know me and b/c they had a spot open, so all of the kids are one year older than her, but she fit right in. She had a blast with the scarves and instruments, and of course all of the music and dancing with other little kids. The last picture is Kylie pretending to call her daddy to tell him how much fun she had. M

Irvine Regional Park

My dad got us a parking pass to all of the Orange County city parks for Christmas. If you've never been there, you have to make it on your top 10 places to visit in 2010. They have train rides, horses, hiking trails, picnic areas, a zoo, nature center, paddle boats, peacocks walking around, and so much more. Kylie loved climbing the trees and swinging on the swings. We packed our lunch and ate under 100 yr. old trees and watched some woodpeckers. Casey and I haven't been able to stop talking about it since we left.

we've been sick

This past week we all have had colds, sore throats, and are just tired. Though mom and dad have been under the weather, Kylie has been such a good girl entertaining herself even with a little runny nose. She has been loving her new bath time crayons and water colors. And the last picture of her is her acting like a monkey...her favorite animal! She is even going to have a monkey theme for her 2nd birthday party. M

pacifier dilema

I know the time is coming in 2 months when I have to get rid of the pacifier for good. But how am I going to do it? She loves her pacifier as you can see! M

visit in Hemet

The day after Christmas we headed out towards Hemet to spend the day with Casey's family. His entire family is talented musically and we all took turns singing, playing an instrument or reading poetry. Kylie played her lollipop drum, I sang a Christmas carol with his cousins and Casey beat boxed. Kylie got a tutu which she wore the entire night. M

Christmas day

We had an amazing Christmas this year. Now that Kylie likes to open gifts and understands there is something inside the box..she had a blast and we enjoyed watching her open all of her gifts. She got so many neat things from Santa...a baby stroller, an American girl baby, a Lego table, a motorcycle, crayons, bath toys, some new outfits, a hot pink lap top, a big girl back pack and so much more I can't remember them all. Casey got a helicopter that flies...his favorite gift, some cologne, money and a new cordless power drill. I got some mommy necessities like a gift card to get my nails done and some gift cards, plus some new face moisturizer! It was so glad to see so much family this year and visit with everyone. We are truly blessed to be near most of our family to celebrate Christmas with! C & M
