Here are some pictures taken this week. On Wednesday, Nicole and I went to Dos Lagos to walk around (and to check out the Stride Rite store that is going out of business). While we were there, Nicole took some time to play in the water. She liked putting her hand over the hole and waiting for the water to come out. She really wanted to crawl into the middle to play with the other kids, but it was my goal to stay dry and not have to go into the middle to get her.
Today, Nick found a fun game for Nicole. He puts her on her bee pillow pet and has her hold onto the antennas and then we bounce her up and down. Although I am in the picture this time, it was Nick's game.

Merry Christmas!
This Christmas, we decided to keep things simple and spend time as a family. On Christmas Eve, we visited Nick's grandma Nancy at her home.
Next, we went to have dinner with Nick's family. We had a great evening spending time with his grandparents and Nicole was able to play with 3 of her aunts and her uncle.
Christmas morning we went to church (my parents joined us) and then opened gifts and ate lunch. We spent the rest of the day playing with our new goodies (okay, we all played with Nicole's toys) and then joined family for dinner.
We pray that everyone had a wonderful time with family and friends as you celebrated Christ's birth!
John 3:16 is even written on the bottom! |
Nick and I got 2 sets of movie tickets, candy, and popcorn! |

Nicole decided to sneak away and open one gift before church. |
Look at all those gifts! |
Nicole loves her new doll! She loves her so much that the doll received her first scratch. |
Grandma Joan is teaching Nicole how to feed her baby. |
Nicole, the amazing gift-giver, gave another good gift! I got a new Snowbaby for my collection! I was so surprised because they have become hard to find, so I hadn't been expecting one. |
Isn't it cute?! |
Nicole got building blocks from Kendra, Drew, and Samuel. She loves to knock down the towers that we build. |
Our annual family picture. I had been hoping for one at church in front of their well-decorated tree, but Nicole chose to nap during that time and we didn't have the heart to wake her. |
Nicole's first Snowbaby! |
A toy from Aunt Hannah |
Before we got the toy from Hannah out of the box, Nicole gave it a kiss...ouch! |
We love our date nights!!! (Not pictured: two more movie tickets and a g.c. for Chili's) |
An awesome frame from Nick's parents! |
Carrying on the tradition that my mom started: a new ornament for every year. |
Poor Piglet! My friend Sarah gave Nicole little Winnie the Pooh toys, she loves to knock them off of our towers! |

A Fun FREE Evening
Tonight we decided to have a family evening and check out Christmas lights. On the way, we decided to have dinner at Chick-Fil-A (Nick had helped out the manager with some car problems several weeks ago and she gave him coupons for free meals- sandwich, drink, and fries). When we got there I realized that it was Family Fun night and Santa was visiting (I have been wanting a picture of Nicole with Santa, but didn't want to pay for it). After dinner, we headed out to look at the lights at Mission Inn. Here are some pictures:
I am a little bummed that the picture turned out blurry, but I will find another free Santa (with no line to wait in)!

I thought the candles were really cool!

Family Christmas
This past weekend we spent time with Nick's family celebrating Christmas. We had fun dressing Nick up like a Christmas tree (Nicole was the angel on top, of course), visiting with family, and opening presents! Enjoy these pictures!
I love this picture! For most of the day, Patrick kept getting Nicole's rattle and she kept taking his car! I guess they both have sharing figured out.
