Blizzard 2010

We had some good snowfall for the kids post Christmas. Leah had a blast playing in it. She went out for over an hour and could have easily stayed out for much longer.

Can you tell she LOVES snow?

Christmas Eve 2010

As per our usual Christmas Eve tradition the kids opened up their (expected) gift, new set of pajamas to wear to bed and wake up in on Christmas morning. The past few years we've hosted Christmas Eve dinner at our house but with all the business with Louis's first birthday party it would've been too overwhelming for me.






Gifts wrapped and ready to go.

Lil Bro's 1st Birthday Party

We threw a Dr. Seuss themed 1st birthday party for Louis. The weather was questionable, lots of rain, doom looming but everyone made it out.

Leah looked beautiful in her Dr. Seuss theme outfit.



Leah's fave table of food...dessert!


Best kids around- beautiful too :)

Santa Visit

Dressed up Leah and Louis today and off we went to see Santa. Unusual to be without all of Leah's drama about being scared of Santa. Louis was not happy about it. This was as close as we were going to get to a happy photo with the two of them with Santa.

Christmas Decor

Finally managed to get our tree up (and I know now that it is up it won't be done till probably February). Still love our tree.

Our Lil Thanksgiving

Since moving to our current home we've hosted a Post-Thanksgiving feast a few times but this year it was just the 4 of us.

Leah helped decorate for Thanksgiving/Autumn.



It was nice. I made everyone's favorites and we sat down and ate and well...ate some more.

Happy Thanksgiving! - A lil Early

I absolutely love Shutterfly. I do try to make my own invites and cards but the site is so easy to use. Leah wanted to make some cards. We ended up with three different versions of a Thanksgiving card. Working on some Winter Holiday themed ones as well.

Festive Family Fall Greeting

Unique party invitations and greeting cards by Shutterfly.

Circus Fun!

Leah loves the circus, as do I. This year we decided to take Louis along to the Big Apple Circus. Matt isn't the biggest fan so it was just the three of us.

Leah and Grandma the Clown


So cute!

Off to school she goes...

Leah asked to get herself on the bus this morning so I watched from the porch.

Family Photo Shoot

We did a family portrait photo shoot with the kids, Aunt Lindsay and Grandparents Ruth & George.

These are some of the proofs.

Boo at the Zoo

We visited the Bronx Zoo today for their 'Boo at the Zoo'. I am glad we did end up getting a family membership during our last visit. It is well worth it.
