I'll I want for Christmas is my 2 first teeth!

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. The holiday season is here and we hope you enjoy all of the festivities with your family and friends. Sean and I always create New Year’s resolutions and goals. I am looking forward to 2009 and what this next year has to bring both personally and as a family! Payton will be turning 1 in just a few short months too. We still can’t believe how time is flying by!!

In this past week, Payton has gotten her very first tooth. (actually 2 at one time) She has one coming in on the top and one on the bottom. It only took 10 months for a tooth sighting!!!! (hahaha) Also, yesterday she walked for the first time! She took around 8 steps by herself to walk to me! We couldn’t believe it; we were so excited! We are baby-proofing the house and trying to make sure it is safe for her....she is growing fast!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all!!!

It’s Christmas Time…..

I can’t believe how quickly the holidays have snuck up on us this year. It was Thanksgiving, then Sean’s birthday, and then Christmas is now just right around the corner! …….Yikes!

Payton had her very first picture with Santa Claus!!! We took it in Fashion Island with Grandma Pam and Grandpa Steve. She loved Santa Claus and he gave her a very nice coloring book. (to chew on! Hahaha) I have a feeling Christmas is going to one of her favorite holidays. The Christmas tree they set up is amazing too. It is the tallest Christmas tree in the United States and stands over 100 feet! It has over 17,000 lights and ornaments, and weighs approximately 20,000 lbs. She loved all of the lights and kids gathered around it.

Happy Birthday Babe!

On December 12th, my sweet husband turned the ripe age of 34!!!! However, as most of you know he is still 13 at heart. (heheheh) We had a lovely dinner with is father and his wife Melissa at one of our favorite seafood restaurants. I planned a nice day of golf for him and his buddies at Eagle Glen golf course the next day. Sean is the best father in the world....Payton truly is her father's daughter. I am so blessed to have such a loving and devoted husband!!!! I love you babe! :-)


On the same day, little Presley turned the BIG 1!!! Yahoooo!!! Our great friend’s Rick and Jill had their lovely daughter on December 12th just 1 year ago. We can’t believe she is already 1. Payton met Presley at Hoag Hospital when she was just 2 days old so they were close from the very start! Happy Birthday Press – we love you! This is a picture of the girls when Payton was just 1 month old and Presley was just over 3 months old...…….best buds in their twin outfits.

Let's give thanks!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving this year over at Pam’s house (Sean’s mom). We celebrated with her side of the family and good friends! We had a great time catching up with the Bower and Cuzzo families. Payton loved all of the people around her. She got into Steve’s magazines and ripped out a few hundred pages and did about 16 laps around the kitchen in high speed!!! (hahaha) She is so active now; we are literally chasing her!

It was a great first Thanksgiving with our little boo. I attached a few pictures below of the festivities.
