Christmas 2009!

Kaya and Eli really enjoyed opening presents.

In fact, Eli wanted to open his presents and everyone elses presents.


Kaya really loved her doggy.

Cheese!

Beatles Rock band was conquered.


Eli got a fireman costume for Christmas
but Kaya kept wanting to wear it.

Eli thought it was fun to put the boxes on his
head until it got stuck.

Hanging out with cousin Sara!

Two cute baby girls! They loved playing with each other.

Grandma Regina visits California

My Mom came to visit for a week...

We mostly just hung out and visited. Eli and Kaya loved having someone new to play with. Eli was so sad when she left. He cried for a long time and when he woke up the next morning he was looking all around the house for her. I think he thought that she was here to stay:(

We can wait until she visits again:)

Officially home owners!

Our new house!

We closed and moved in the same day. Our Real Esate Agent thought we were crazy. I guess we were exited. It took about a week to get everything put away and it's starting to feel like home.

Trick or Treat!
