Still Preggers

With one more month to go! 

Keep sending those happy thoughts!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Probably should have thrown a bash... but had a nice day nonetheless.

Happy 40th, Jeff!

mmmm... Gingerbread House!

I couldn't quite seem to come up with a good reason WHY you're not supposed to nibble on the cookie house with candy decorations.

anyone?

A Good Day

Liv shared breakfast with a Rainbow!

Our good friends, Leo, Carlota, Leo & Adriano came over for a visit.

Jeff let them drive!

There was a holiday party at the club house & Miss Sparkles the Clown performed for the kids.

Everyone enjoyed the show!!

Liv got to pick out her accessories before bed. Gotta love the lizard!!

Hope you had a good day, too!

Gingerbread House

Call me crazy... but this is a favorite Christmas tradition from when I was growing up! And we're have this beautiful new kitchen and are enjoying building up to Christmas in our new home this year!

So, I found pattern peices and recipes and notes from my Mom and Dad - which was a real treat! And my Aunt Carol sent me photos of her family's Gingerbread Houses -- a true inspiration -- Thanks Guys!!! And we were off & running:

First the cookie dough.

Then decorate the pieces.

Liv was impressed with my progress when she got up from nap.

Then construction and final decorating touches.

Happy Holidays, Everyone!!

All Vaccinated!

Liv and I drove into Alameda this am for a check up & Liv's second doses of her flu shots.

Cheese BALL!!

So we are both set for the Seasonal & H1N1.

SNOW??!!

So, I'm not sure exactly how unusual this is... but everyone assures me it's very rare.

It only snowed for an hour or two, but seems to have stuck for a while in the higher elevations. (We're at about 1200 ft)
