Best stocking stuffer ever.

Tricycle Time!

Leila loves her new tricylce! Her legs are still about a half inch too short to reach the pedals really easily, but she totally understands what to do, and she loves it!

We went to the park yesterday and she road for about a half hour before she wanted to go to the playground. I'll try to get video of her riding - it's very cute!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you and your families had a wonderful Christmas and Christmas Eve - we sure did! On Christmas Eve Tony had to work, but Leila and I went over to my parent's house, where we got to see my dad's side of the family. We had a great time hanging out and laughing with everyone! When we got home that night we put out cookies for Santa and carrots for his reindeer....

The next morning, when Tony got home we went into the front room to see that almost all of the cookies and carrots were gone!

Santa had also stuffed our stockings:

...and left a ton of presents for Leila!

Leila loved that we wore matching "night nights"

The first thing she saw was her new baby stroller:

Then Daddy and Ramon helped her unwrap some presents:

She also really loved her sherpa hat - hopefully we'll go to the snow so she has an excuse to wear it!

Leila got so many great gifts from Santa, friends and family! Her favorite is her baby stroller, but she also loves her new tricyle, babies from around the world (her favorite is the one from Madagascar, who is sitting in the stroller in the picture above - she calls her "pretty girl") And she also loves her new Ugg boots from Bamma and Papa!

Christmas morning my parents and brother came over - we watched Leila open presents for hours, and then we stopped at her Gigi's house where we also got to see Auntie Katie and Uncle Michael, and then Grandpa Tom stopped over. Later in the day we went to my parent's house for dinner where we got to see my mom's side of the family. Christmas Eve and Christmas were busy, but wonderful! It was so much fun to see Leila's reaction to things this year, versus last because she is so much more into it now! It's hard to believe that she will be two in less than a month!

We're ready!

We've placed out cookies and milk for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer. Leila is nestled all snug in her bed, while visions of sugar plums dance in her head...

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Wordless Wednesday

Snug as a bug in a rug

Leila chatters herself to sleep every night, and tonight she is cracking me up! I keep hearing "Sassa!* Sassa! Leila a good girl! Ruuuuuuuuudolph. Ho ho ho!"

I think my girl is ready for Christmas!

*Sassa = Santa

Eek!

Another "what happens when Daddy gets her dressed" post. Leila and Tony went to the library, the grocery store and Chuck E. Cheeses like that. : )
