Here comes Santa Claus...

We had so much fun during Christmas this year! Santa Claus remembered everything that Ema asked him for! The princess clock and toy reindeer were a huge hit. He also surprised her with a toy kitchen for her room and the baby doll furniture that she had been eyeing. Tobey's gift from the big guy was a play gym for the floor. He loves talking to the little bug that swings from the top and sings to him. We hope that all of your families had as much of a good time as we did getting to see everyone and enjoying their company.

Happy New Year to all of you as well!

Tobey's First Haircut (ALREADY!!!)

At 3 and a half month's old, Tobey already needed a haircut, so we took him to have it done. I just hope that the old wives' tale isn't true about a baby having to wait until they are 12 months old before they should have their hair cut so that they don't go bald early as an adult...

Since Cisco had to work, Aunt Erin and Mommy took Ema & Tobey to 19 North Salon & Spa in Zebulon and Mrs. Jennifer cut Ema's hair first.

Here are her fabulous results!

When Mrs. Jennifer started to cut Tobey's hair, he wasn't very happy...

But after a little bribery, things started to look up...

Once we got started, it went pretty quickly. But, by the time it was over Tobey and Mommy were both a sticky, hairy mess. It was definitely an experience that we won't forget. Here is a picture of our new little man with his grown up haircut...

What a doll!

Christmas in D.C.

Cisco & I took a much needed vacation to Washington DC this weekend. We flew in on Thursday and came back on Saturday. We had such a great time walking around DC checking out the Capital, the White House, the Smithsonian, and all the monuments. We decided that to fully enjoy this town, you definitely need more than 2 days. There is so much to see! Maybe when the kids get older and can understand the history a little more, we will all go back and take at least a week!

"It's beginning to look alot like Christmas..."

We decorated our Christmas tree this weekend and had "A Jolly 'Ole Time"! Ema sang Christmas carols with Mommy while Daddy baked chocolate chip cookies...YUM!

This year is going to be so much fun because not only is it Tobey's first Christmas, but this is the first year that Ema actually understands and believes in Santa Claus. No pressure, right?! We also remind her of the real Christmas story also so that she nor we forget the true meaning of this beautiful season. I hope that you all have a great December and...

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS!
