Christmas 2009

Christmas was a fantastic time spent with family and friends. Noah had a great time playing with his cousins and trying all the tasty food. We even had a surprise visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. Victor and his brother Erik had a jello making competition and Erik won this year. Victor is already planning for next year. Here are some photos of the fun over the past few days.

A little too much holiday fun!

Randomness of the Week

Noah got to visit with his Auntie Alicia who came for the weekend and he had a great time.


He also "helped" his Daddy hang Christmas lights.


He even found a new toy. Yes, it's another cat toy. He just loves cat toys!

And who doesn't love kisses from Mommy?!

Hurricane Noah

He just looks so proud of his handiwork!

Noah meets Snakey

Noah noticed Snakey Snake Snakerson for the first time the other day. He was amazed.

Look! Did you know we had a snake?!


I can stick my tongue out, too!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

We had a freakishly cold storm come through last week and we could see snow out our bedroom window. Mt. Diablo was beautiful, but the clouds were covering it when I had the camera out.


Noah got a Santa hat from his Grandma Miriam. He wasn't too sure at first.


Okay, maybe I like it!


This is my wizard hat to go with my wizard wand.


Okay, all done being festive!

The biggest teddy bear Noah had ever seen lives at Auntie Kris and Uncle Joe's.

More from our Oregon trip

Noah preparing for the drive. We put him in the hatch as a safe spot while we installed his carseat. He loved playing back there!

Auntie Cara and Cousin Kendra at the park. Kendra rarely smiles for photos these days.


Victor, Cousin Savannah, and Uncle DJ playing at the park.

The always smiling Noah was not smiling, but the never smiling Kendra was!

This piano was a big hit!

Noah's New Skill

Noah got this toy as a hand me down from his cousins and he loves it. He wants to walk so much!

He has also decided that his travel high chair makes a good walker.

This matches right?!

It's all argyle, so it all matches right?

Horsing Around

We went to Oregon over the long weekend to hang out with Victor's sister Cara and her family. One of the fun things to do at Cara's is to go visit her horse, Gandalf, at the barn. Noah was in love at first sight. He kept calling the horse a "Key-Key" and laughing.

Cara gave Noah a ride and Noah was in seventh heaven. Gandalf has a fancy winter haircut which amazingly keeps him warmer.


Noah loving his horse ride.


We think this may have been the most exciting day in Noah's life. He had so much fun!

Some Saturday Morning Giggles

Is there anything cuter than a giggling baby?

Two teeth and another on the way

Two teeth on the bottom and we think there's a new one coming soon on the top!


Smiley baby!
