Christmas Day

When Daddy and I came out to the living room Christmas morning Hadley was already on her new bike that Santa brought. She was surprised to see so many gifts under the tree. She told us how Santa ate his milk and cookies and how the reindeer ate the peanut butter dog cookies she left.  She was also very excited to see that Baby Jesus had arrived in the manger.

Off to some friends for Christmas

Christmas photos

I was hoping to have some family photos done this year in time for our Christmas card but never got around to scheduling it.  My last minute back up plan was to take Hadley and Dash to the desert for some pictures.  Dash was really excited until he realized we were not there for a hike.  They both were very cooperative and tolerated my props.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Grammy's visit.

Grammy came for Thanksgiving and her birthday. She helped us decorate for Christmas and get a head start for the holiday festivities. We trimmed the tree and decorated our own gingerbread house. We also went to a resort that had a Frozen themed gingerbread display and another resort that had lights, a train ride, carousel, ice skating, and hot cocoa!  Many wonderful memories were made.

Happy 4th Birthday!!

Hadley turned four a few weeks ago and we thought a trip to Disneyland would be a fun way to celebrate. We mentioned to her what we were planning but she didn't understand.

It had been about 15 years since I had gone and I was really excited to experience the park through Hadleys eye's.  I remembered as a child specifics of how real and exciting it was. Hadley did get most enthusiastic when she saw a Disney character.  One day is not enough time at the park, there is to much to see and do.
