Mommy's Birthday

Daniel requested a vanilla cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles for my birthday so I made one to celebrate 45 years! When I asked Daniel how old he thought I was he said, 20! What a smart boy.

Michael sent me roses to work and brought home gourmet mini-cupcakes for my birthday. Then we headed to Fiola for an incredible dinner. It was a very special day with family.

Children's Christmas Pageant at Trinity

The cutest little girl in red ever!

Rebecca was our little angel today!

Daniel singing in the Christmas pageant. He was a "wise man" carrying a present for baby Jesus. When we handed him the present, he unwrapped it and was a little disappointed to find out that it was just a box:) Then when the wise men arrived, Daniel placed his present right on top of baby Jesus in the manger (one of the older children moved the present). I had to laugh!


Rebecca trying to figure out what is going on today at church! Holding her brother's airplane.


Too cute!


Happy Baby Girl ready for church


She loves the Christmas tree






I know I am biased, but how could she ever be any cuter?

Santa's Little Helper

Rebecca definitely "Melts Her Daddy's Heart"




Checking out the Christmas Tree


Very Happy to have one of Daniel's airplane ornaments




Rebecca having fun with Little People Nativity Scene (the search for baby Jesus occurs every day). Rebecca said Jesus for the first time!






Rebecca drawing on the wrapping paper while trying to help Mommy! Too cute.

"Christmas Tree"

Rebecca and Mommy are getting ready for Christmas!




Rebecca said "Christmas Tree" this morning when she saw the tree with all the decorations! Daddy put white lights and colored lights on the tree for Daniel. Plus he has all his airplane ornaments on the tree so he is a happy little boy.

Santa - 2011

So here is our Santa photo for 2011. Daniel was focused on telling Santa about his 767 airplane that he wants and Rebecca was focused on not sitting on his lap (which is why Mommy is in the picture). I must say Frying Pan Farm park was a great place to have picture taken. Rebecca and I waiting in line while Daniel ran around with Daddy!

Santa is now at his workshop working in the 767 airplane that Daniel is sure to ask about every day :)

"Becca" and "Nana"

I asked Rebecca if she could say her name since she already says Daniel. So she clearly said "Becca"! She is so adorable.

We went to Frying Pan Farm Park to see Santa today. Rebecca was an angel waiting in line for an hour while Daniel and Daddy ran around on the playground.

Fabulous party at Jane and Greg's tonight. It was wonderful to catch up with everyone and enjoy a night out! Daniel and Rebecca got me this dress for an early Birthday present. Don't they have great taste? Only bummer is that Michael had on his VT colors and they lost massively to Clemson.

Thanks to Nana and Grandpa for babysitting! Rebecca said "Nana" for the first time tonight. She is so smart.

Rebecca Moving Up to Toddlers in Preschool

Our cute baby girl is growing up way too fast. She is already moving up to Toddlers at Preschool next week. She is smart and funny and sweet and we love her to pieces.
