Having fun painting with water colors.

We had a wonderful New Years Eve.

Started off the day in South Pasadena at Kidspace Museum where we played with our friends the Post. Gavin and London had a pre-New Years bash party there. Later saw a few of the Rose Bowl Parade floats.

Evening celebrations took place with our lovely friends the Talty's.

Enjoy the video of London and her best friend Cameron.

Here is a New Years Concert just for you!

AND
Happy New Years!!!

Christmas in Lodi!

Papa and our little drummer boy!

Santa?
Someone got herself a doll house!
Family!
Grammy and Papa with the little angels!





Grammy and our little guy!
Santa left a hat for London, as you can see he ate and drank up the goodies!
The Christmas tree. The striped present was Santa's present to London, she eyed it first and wanted to open it first! She asked for a lady bug, but after she opened it and saw she got her lady bug, she informed us she also asked for a bumble bee!

the cookies for santa.
Making the goodies.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We hope everyone had a Merry Little Christmas! We had a wonderful time in Lodi with Grammy and Papa.

Of course we had to have a photo op with the kiddo's so enjoy a few of the many pics that were taken! (yes there are more!)

Grammy and London had a fun time making cookies for Santa... which made her Christmas morning so magical! We wish everyone could have seen her face when she saw the cookies had been eaten, and the chocolate milk (which by the way London says is what Santa prefers) drunk, AWESOME! Complete shock on her face, bug eyed, and once she saw the presents under the tree... up into her mommies arms she went, she was soooo excited!

The little guy smiled his way through the morning and blessed his mommy with a full nights sleep, going down at 8pm and waking up at 5:30 am to eat and go back to sleep again for another hour! What a Christmas present! :)

Love you all, and miss you bunches!

Had some fun before heading out to Lodi, California for Christmas. Decorated a tree in London and Ewan's room. Went to see some lights at Griffith Park. (those pics will come later) Played outside in the nice foliage. (better late than never ;) gotta love California weather!)

Enjoy the pics!

On the airplane. London is so great with her brother. Its been so amazing seeing them together and the bond that has already formed. London is a great big sister, she's so good with him.
Train ride!

We picked cousin Allix up from school for lunch twice. It was a real treat for everyone!


Here are pics from our week in Oklahoma. It was great getting to see so many of our family and friends.

London had so much fun playing with her cousins Allix and Kevin each day. It was so nice seeing them all together. We don't know when that will happen again... they are moving back to Tokyo! Prayers for safe travels!!! And we thank God for the time we were able to have with Aunt Inge and the kids!

And of course both kiddo's couldn't get enough kisses, and hugs from their Oma and Opa.

We are thankful for this last minute opportunity to have been able to go home and be with everyone.

For those we missed getting to see we are so sorry!!!!

Love and Miss you all! Hope you are all having a blessed December! Merry Christmas!!!!
