Kera is 2 months old!

Our little Kera has turned 2 months old already!


We went to the doctor the other day and here are her stats:

Weight: 9 lbs 7 oz

Length: 23 inches

Just as a comparison, Abby was 10lbs 11oz and 23 1/4 inches long.

Abby the Chef

Abby has really become our little helper in the kitchen! She has helped make cookies on 3 different occasions, helped to mix pumpkin bread, and now...she has made her first pizza!

Snow in Vegas

On January 3rd we had SNOW! It was so much fun to see.






Of course we had to go out and play in it...







After a morning of playing in the snow it was time to make cookies. A lady that I knew in Chicago has a family tradition that they make cookies on the first snow day. This is such a fun tradition I decided to steel it.

Christmas 2010

It is amazing how much Christmas gets better when you have a family of your own. Last Christmas Abby was not quite 1 so...she was not really sure what was going on. This year was very different! She was not sure what was going on at first but as the season went on she really got into the holiday spirit! Actually, even now, she it still singing Frosty the Snowman, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, and Santa Clause is Coming to Town daily. I can't wait to see Abby and Kera's Christmas excitement grow throughout the years! We were also lucky enough to have my parents with us again this year. Here are some pictures from our Christmas adventures this year...

We took a GREAT visit to our local children's museum! We had a great time there with Abby's friend Sarah but we did have a minor accident. At the museum there is a play stage and dress-up clothes. Abby tried on a dress that was too long for her and took to the stage well...unfortunately she tripped off the stage and bit open her lip in several places. But, after a few moment of tears it was back to having fun.

Christmas eve we attempted to go us to the Mount Charleston Lodge but unfortunately, we found out when we were almost there that, the power was out. So we headed to the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort instead. It was not exactly what were were planning but it was still fun to be up in the snow.

On Christmas eve we also made cookies for Santa:

Christmas morning brought a lot of excitement. Even Kera was wide eyed with all the excitement:

The tree was so full Abby didn't know what too look at first:

Here are some more pictures of Christmas morning...

Christmas dinner was delicious...Thanksgiving for Christmas YUM! And of course we had to wear our crowns...

I can't wait for next year!
