Merry Christmas!

That's right, we're greedy! We're claiming both holidays as our own... Cheers & Mazeltov!


Santa's Sleigh, er Helicopter!

On Saturday morning we took cousin Nick with us to the Club for a brunch with Santa. Only, instead of flying in with his reindeer, he flew in on a helicopter and landed on the 18th green! Mia sure loves Santa, but we also learned that she shares Daddy's fascination with helicopters... She & Nick quickly climbed aboard, strapped themselves in, and prepared for take off. Our Princess certainly deserves such lavish accomodations...


Cookie Monster!

On Thursday night Momma took the midget to the Stihlman Train Park for their annual holiday festival. Last year Mia was frightened of all the characters they had walking around... Not this year! She just loves Cookie Monster!! I think they share a kindred spirit, or at least a mutual love of cookies...

Daddy's Weekend!!

Mommy was in Las Vegas with some girlfriends for the weekend, so Mia & Daddy got some quality bonding time! We went out to breakfast on Friday, and then it was off to dance class. On Saturday we went to the Shamrock Farm to see how milk is made! Mia loved all the cows and they even trucked in some snow! Then it was off to our Temple on Sunday for a Hannukah festival with all of Mia's class mates. The midget got to ride a pony, go down the bouncy slide, and took a train ride as well... We had loads of fun, and the best part was that Mia was so tired she took an extra long nap and Daddy got to relax!! We had a blast, but we sured missed our Momma!

Hannukah Festival!!

Here is the midget on her favorite attraction at the Hannukah festival... Of course it was the train! This was so cute. A guy made train cars out of 55 gallon drums, and pulled the kids around on a tractor. Mia was in absolute heaven and had to ride it three times in a row! Her joy is so infectious...

Polar Express Train Ride!

On Sunday we joined some great friends, Russell & Chrissy and Tracy & David, along with their kids, by driving a few hours North into the mountains to catch the Polar Express train! Mia loved the light snow and the train ride was awesome. After carolls, cookies & hot coacoa, Santa boarded the train to give the kids bells!

Unfortunately Daddy got some food poisoning from their lovely high quality buffet, and the ensuing night wasn't so much fun. But after a quick bounce back to good health, we all had fun the next day!

Daddy's Love!

While riding the Polar Express train Mia began to get tired and very loving... Here is Daddy's big lover giving hugs and cuddling! The highlight of any day...

Big Sister of Twins!!

We're not sure if Mia really gets it at this point, but she sure is spending a lot of time talking about her baby brother and sister! If you ask her where they are, she points to Momma's belly... Here she is sporting her 'Big Sister' shirt and carrying around her twins! We can't wait for her to have two little play mates. Much like everything else our perfect angel does, it's probably safe to assume she'll be an incredible big sister!
