Merry Christmas Eve...

 Happy Holidays!
 
Smiling with Aunty Erin!
 
Cade hanging out with Daddy and Uncle Darin
 Cade's letter to Santa! Sooooo funny! We are having a lot of wind and rain this Christmas, so Cade agreed that leaving soup and hot cocoa was a better idea. Look at his attempt at his name! Although I coached him, he held the pen and did it all! It's interesting because every time Cade practices his "C" he wants to close it off to be a full circle. OCD in training?
 Cade also wanted to leave some oatmeal, lettuce, and tomatoes for the reindeer.

  
 We had the annual mochitsuki at the Miyamotos a week ago. Look at the pics from this year and last! Hmmm, this may become an annual picture!
 Cade playing with Linds. He loves playing around with her!

Hello December... Goodbye 2011!?

Wow, I was just starting to get the hang of 2011- now it's time to say goodbye and welcome the new year!
 Kendyll hanging out with Great grandma Tamayo during Thanksgiving lunch. Great grandma has such a loving, gentle touch- no wonder she was able to calm K down!
 I love this pic! Can't wait to watch Cade grow and eventually be able to beat up his Daddy!
 Garrett has been so eager to play football with Cade- he can actually throw and catch pretty well (Cade, not Garrett!) I just thought this was a cute pic of Cade "running like the wind".
 All the cousins on the deck for a sunset photo
 I dunno what Chansi was trying to do, but she was dragging her legs and walking on her hands. Just the thought makes me giggle!
 I think this may become an annual photo we do on our steps! Oh, and do you see the lights I put on the banisters! I've always wanted to do it and finally have nice stairs to do it on! :)

 If you have kids, I'm sure you can empathize with how long it can take to get a decent photo! We got our Christmas tree last weekend and decorated it with the kids. We put these two nice cushions down on the floor and wanted Cade and Kenny to sit on them. Of course, she refused and kept screaming "no!". Ok, fine we think- we'll outsmart you. We told Sport to sit on it and then she wanted to sit- but wouldn't look at the camera! Aghhh! Got a semi-descent shot of all three! Then, they both ran off and poor Sport was left by himself (I actually think he didn't mind and took advantage of the empty cushion!).

 Got the idea to shorten the Swiffer mops and Kenny loves it! She walks around cleaning all the time! PLEASE make this last until high school!
 Addicted to the ipad! She loves a song from Anuhea called "Love Song" and will sing parts of it: "I'm finally..." It's soooo cute! This little sassy girl is a talker! Her favorite lines right now are "I hungry, I fart, I want some" (not all at the same time! ha ha ha ha).
