Christmas morning we all got up around 6 and went downstairs. Paul had put together Amaya's wooden shopping cart the night before and she went right over to it. After pushing it around and seeing all the new play food in the canvas part, we sat down to open the rest of the presents. The wrapping paper was last years and I'm happy to say it's all been recycled!


This shopping cart was like a magnet!


Daddy opening up yet another pair of shoes, natch.








Lovely apron from Aunt Nana!

Christmas Eve part 1

After getting home from
working a half day, we took Amaya to the park before the festivities at Aunt Nana's house. This kid really loves to run around the park and wanted nothing to do with wearing her jacket. Here are some pictures!

Recently I was doing laundry and I heard Amaya in the hallway babbling to herself. I peeked around the corner and saw her in the basket, feet up with a book in her lap. I grabbed the camera and took a snapshot but she heard it beep and immediately went to get up. I'm glad I caught this little moment though.

Merry Christmas 2009!

Santa wasn't a hit this year. Amaya cried and tried to slide out of his grasp so what we ended up with is a picture with me holding onto her and cut out of the picture. Oh well at least she looks good in red!
