Christmas Day

Wow another Christmas gone already, this year was a truly fun one Sydney was super excited that Santa came a left a ton of "princess" presents for her, though she was a little bummed she didn't get the chance to see him. She was quickly soothed by her 3 doll houses (actually 2 doll houses and a pet shop) and all the furniture that goes along with it.

Tatiana didn't do to bad either she loved her new camera (now maybe she'll leave mine alone ) and a slew of other teenage stuff.

Daddy loved his new boots, too bad they were 2 right feet..lol ...and he had to return one and get a lefty the next day.

and I was super excited about my new Wii game (anyone wanna have a Band Hero Party!!)

and now that all is said and done and all the princess are in a row, we hope everyone had as wonderful a christmas as we did.

2nd Annual Cookie Party

We had our 2nd annual cookie party. This year we made 8 diffrent types of cookies. It was so much fun we even had my nicece Mikayla over this year and she was a baking queen. It was also nice to have a much bigger kitchen (even if we also took over the entry way for sugar cookie decorating) I can't wait until next year after the kitchen remodel.

mom's not a baker so she took over clean up duty and did a great job making sure we all had clean pans and anything else we needed.

Syd had her own little work station complete with sprinkles.

Decorating, time to get creative.

the final product. Everyone ended up with at least 7 containers of cookies each! That's alot of baking.

Now to find room for all the leftover supplies ???

Christmas at the Erwins

We had a little Chirstmas get together at our house this weekend with some of friends and family and of course great food. It was nice to enjoy a little holiday cheer and good company.

The friends

The Family

Tatiana and Chantz

Kayla, Sydney K, & Isabella

We of course had to break out the Wii and have a kick butt bowl down

look at that form

Gingerbread House

Sydney was so excited to do her gingerbread house, she loved putting on all the candies and even tried spreading the super sticky icing. It's now proudly displayed in the living room where everyone can see and she reminds them "no eating my house".

Princess and the Frog

Sydney has been so excited about the Princess and the Frog she always asks "when we see it?" So we decided to try and take her to the movies (or the bigger T.V as Syd called it) for the first time. We were a little worried how she would do, but it was a huge success, she absolutely loved the movie and sat still and quite through the whole thing. YAY!! So now we are aiming to see the Chipmunks during Christmas break (I wonder if I could get her to sit through New Moon) lol.

Enjoying her popcorn and "spicy juice" aka sprite

Girls night at the movies

Thanksgiving

We had a quiet Thanksgiving with the family at our new home it was so nice Uncle Juan and Grandma joined us.

New Home

I can't believe it's almost been a month since my last post and now less that a month till Christmas, but we are finally in our new home and slowly getting settled in and unpacked. We still have alot to do and are far from finished (it would be nice to have doorknobs on any door), and trying to find a place for everything (IKEA is my new best friend)but I'm glad we're "HOME".

and then the kitchen remodel start after the first of the year
SK's room and I finally have her curtian rod in so I can get rid of those ugly temporary ones :)

Jenny Hart Harvest Festival

We had a great time at Jenny Hart.  Sydney was the cutest little Tinker Bell and loved visiting mommy's work.

Tinker Bell and Wendy

Enjoying the book nook

WOW two Tinker Bell's

are we at Jenny Hart or Neverland

Pumpkin Carving

Sydney was very excited about carving her pumpkin. The only problem we had was once I would scoop all the pumpkin guts out she would put them back in and tell me "No mommy he needs his brains." What a funny girl. That is a band-aid on her head she said "my hair hurts"

Pumpkin Patch

We finally made it to the Pumpkin Patch just a few days before Halloween. (It's been crazy with house stuff but we are almost there). Sydney had a great time picking out pumpkins and of course checking out all the fun things to do. This one's mine.

Girl loves the bouncy house slide

and who could pass up the pony ride, though she did tell me the "horsey smell sour"

and what visit wouldn't be complete without a little hay tossing

Homecoming 2009

Tatiana and Chris went to Homecoming this year, the theme was Paris Nights. They looked absolutely gorgeous. Tatiana loved her dress especially the lacing down the back. Yet again she is growing up to fast. When did I get this old :) Well she will always be my baby, even when she drives me nuts.

Teen Diver

It's official Tatiana is a driver in training. I can't believe how fast time flies, it seems like only yesterday she was starting to walk and talk now she's driving. Help I'm not old enough to have a teenage driver, and now I'll have even more gray..Hello Clairol

Tatiana and Chris went to get their permits together (ahh young love)

She even got to drive home from the DMV

Girls San Diego Night

I was able to squeeze in a little break from home renovation to go to San Diego with the girls. We had a great time hanging out at the Bristol Hotel in the Gas light District. 

Ready to hit the town

This is what happens at the end of a girls night..lol

Spooktacular Fireworks

We decided to head on over and check out the Disneyland Halloween fireworks show and hit a couple rides, but OMG it was sooo packed it took us 1/2 an hour just to get into the parking garage. So instead we just did dinner and fortunately lucked out and got awesome seats outside at the Plaza Inn where we were able to watch the fireworks and have dessert at the same time what more could you need.

Sydney loved her special Mickey mug filled with pumpkin mousse

YEY here comes the show
