christmas and new years

it did not feel like christmas this year. i don't know if it was because i did most of my shopping online and didn't hear christmas music at the mall or because it crept up so fast or because it's been an unusually hot winter. i have no idea but i can't believe it's already over! but it was stella's first christmas so that made it super special. it was also the first year that cole realized there were presents under the tree so that was...er...super fun. he even opened a few before christmas - luckily they were all stella's.

here are some of the pics..

christmas morning - santa came!

playing on his new street mat with tutu - thank you hendricksons!
riding his new bike - thank you koga cousins!

shooting with his spiderman glove - thank you bailey and conner!

she isn't normally dressed like such a diva but i think it's pretty funny that she's playing with the vanity mirror in this outfit - thank you auntie kc and fam!
 


this year we invited friends over for a new year's eve bbq and rang in the new year in english style - big ben struck midnight at 4 p.m. PST! it was perfect because everyone was gone by 7 and the kids went to bed at a decent hour. here are a few pics...

stella and tutu - mom stayed around for a few days after xmas so i could prepare for the party - thank mom!

 
stella's first new year!

happy new year lucy!

vere and his old friend tony
