Christmas Card 2011

A "greener" and cheaper way to do Christmas cards this year.

Michael and the Tunnel

Santa!

The kids did not enjoy visiting Santa this year. Last year they didn't even see him. Next year will probably be better, because the third Christmas is the charm - right?

Random pictures

We have several photos like this throughout the first year of life for the kids. I decided to do another one since they were sitting there looking cute.

More cupboard hi-jinx.

Getting into the holiday spirit.

Breaking the wishbone from Thanksgiving.

Birthday Party

Michael and Malia almost 1 year

Two Thanksgivings

I thought I could get a good picture through the window, but it's just okay.

The kids LOVED the food.

and the leftovers.

We dressed them up for both celebrations.

I had to steal Sheree and Cayla's pictures.

We got a nice family picture together.

End of Autumn

Here are some pictures for the last days of Autumn.

Finally found the pots and pans.

Walking and Funny Noises

We played with bubbles today....

Here is a video of Michael walking and Malia making funny noises.

Malia Spinning Around

Trouble Times Two

Malia figured out how to open cupboard recently...

Michael figured out he can push things and climb on them to get where he wants.

Hats

Jason and I have been saying "Nice hat." to the kids when we put something on their head. Just recently they have been holding things up to their heads trying to put them on like a hat. These bowls are from our hospital stay (almost one year ago) and make great hats. They usually stay in the bath tub, but today they were hats.

11 Months Old!

We have fun everyday...
