Aunt Lisa & Cousin Cami come for a visit

Aunt Lisa & Cousin Cami came for a 3 day visit. We all had so much fun. They played candyland with Hannah.
Read lot's, and lot's, and lot's of books to Hannah.
And just hung out with the kiddos a lot. :) It was so much fun having family here for the holidays.

Kids FINALLY playing more together

So, I gotta say...I love this stage! The kids are finally playing well together. Hannah usually makes up a game (like this one...going shopping with baskets) and Andrew follows suit. It's AWESOME! This is Hannah's "Miss America" wave. Can't you see her as our future president? :)
I absolutely adore this look of Hannah's. It's one of her signature smiles. :)
Andrew saying "Cheese." He's been doing more poses for the camera too, whenever he can stand still that is.
YEY, both kids smiling and looking at the camera at the same time. Very rare, very rare!

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

It sure has rained a lot this year! Here's Hannah sporting her new dora umbrella, rain jacket, and boots.
These two sure love jumping in the puddles. Andrew's boots are only 3 sizes too big for him, but he's still able to jump in them.
Here Hannah is singing, " Rain, Rain Go away, come again some other day." Andrew didn't know the words but he danced to her singing.

Oh, the joys of having a big sister

The kiddos have been "LOVING" playing dress-up together. Of course, Andrew doesn't really have any "manly" dress-up clothes yet, but he doesn't mind sporting a dress now and then.
All he needs is some earrings to go with this dress.
These will be "great" pictures to threaten Andrew with when he gets older. I can just show them to his "latest" girlfriend if he doesn't listen to his mom or do what she says. :)
Say "cheese." Awww...aren't they cute?

We are using our fireplace!


We finally have a nice, clean fireplace to enjoy! So exciting. Here's the kiddos warming their "heinys" by the fire. Bring on the cold weather!

Reading Buddies


Hannah and Andrew have become "reading buddies". It just warms my heart to see them both enjoy books so much. Those are two of their favorite books as well. Andrew LOOOVES Elmo and Hannah loves ladybugs. :)

Snow in Orangevale!!!!


Here is proof that "YES" it does snow in the Sacramento area. Granted it's it's not enough to make a snow man, but we did get a sprinkling. :)
