...and she and Bingo were everyone's biggest cheerleaders.
Meanwhile, Haley made her rounds too.
2010 was a pretty spectacular year for our family: one Caribbean vacation, two moves, one baby, one blue minivan, and one graduation...and that was all before May! Suffice it to say that we are extremely blessed and thankful. Here's to an equally healthy, happy, and prosperous 2011 for all of our amazing friends and family.
...and crawling...
...and of course chewing on toys...
...and trying to get into mischief too!
Just enough hair for a hair bow.
Stephie, meanwhile, was out and about on a candy-cane hunt. Story-time first...
...and then searching for candy canes in the snow.
Hey, she found one!
Haley's too little for nail polish, but she had a great time playing with Uncle Alex instead.
Sit 'n spin: fun for the whole family...
Fancy socks from Bobo:
A new tradition for us: reading The Night Before Christmas before bedtime.
More to come tomorrow!
Our happy family:
Haley's first poem from Grandma Julie:Haley
When you think of cuddly,
when you think of soft and small,
when you think of babies,
I’m the cutest one of all.
If you think about a baby,
and how sweet they all should be,
if you think about the best one,
then you’ll probably think of me.
I smile from dawn to nighttime
and I hardly ever cry.
My disposition is the best
I cannot tell a lie.
I do not like to toot my horn.
I do not like to boast.
But there’s no better baby,
if you searched from coast to coast
I started out so very small,
But, my, how fast I’ve grown.
I am the sweetest baby
that you’ve ever ever known.
Of course you’ll think of Stephie.
She is a sight to see.
You’ll say she’s very pretty.
Of course she looks like me!
When Santa puts the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
You won’t find any ones as good
As Stephie and as me.
Everyone making their way down stairs:
Haley with her "new" table:
Stephie tearing into one of many presents:
"My turn!"
And the last present of the day: a train table in the basement.
Merry Christmas!!!
