Merry Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is traditionally spent at Edgar's parent's house...and this year was no different. We were able to join mom & dad (sort of...) for their Christmas Eve service at their church (I say kind of because we got there late, and the church was so packed we weren't able to sit together, but the service was really good)

Afterwards we headed over to mom's house for an evening of spending time with family.

Isaac, of course, was the star of the show :)

Eliott read a story to the kids. (The other little boy is Landen. He's Eli's second (or third...or fourth...who knows...) cousin. He's really hard to get a picture of-he's walking everywhere!)

Mom's tree.

Ummmm....

Landen playing with Karl-a friend of mom's.

Aunt Peggy, Chrissy and Isaac. He got passed around :)

Mom gave us her old 'spank stick'. It's a pretty impressive disciplining tool...Eli seems to enjoy it :)

The group shot :)

Every year mom goes through a story that tells the true meaning of Christmas-talking about Who God is. It's very meaningful.

Dad was behind his new camera most of the night :)

One of our favorite gifts :) Mom & dad gave this step stool to Eli. It's SO CUTE!

Abuela, Abuelo & their munecos :)

We had a great time. We got home late, but Eli was such a champ-he was up until 11:30, and you never would have guessed it :)

Thanks mom & dad for a great evening!

Babysitting

How fun to get the chance to babysit my amazingly adorable nephew. Oooooo! He's so cute! He was pretty sleepy while I was there (He had kept Leilani up all night...) and I really wasn't there babysitting per se...Leilani was there, I was just trying to give her a little 'sleep break'. SO, I decided to take a bunch of pictures of this cutie.

' Whatcha dreamin' about?'

'I see you!'

The many faces of Isaac. He's so expressive!

I love seein' a baby all snuggled up :)

*sigh*

And what, you may ask, was Eli doing?

Enjoying some Spongebob :) Okay...so he really didn't watch TV all day, but when Spongebob came on he was completely zoned in on it. It was funny. He'll have lots in common with his Aunt Randee... :)

Another part of our fun day was getting to take Isaac to his first pediatrician appointment. We got him all snuggled up in his car seat (LOVE the brown car seat!)

Getting measured-he's gained 2 oz in 2 days! He's now a healthy 6 lb 6 oz.

Dr. Yee. We LOVE Dr. Yee :)

We had so much fun hanging out with Leilani and Isaac...we can't wait to 'get our turn' again!

Sunday with a newborn

On Sunday, after church, we headed back over to the hospital to get some more time with Isaac. The proud daddy!
Abuela

Sonya, a good friend of mom's, came down for Christmas-it was so good to see her! I haven't seen her since the wedding reception mom & dad had for us after we got married. Eli loved her, and played with her quite a bit.

Peek-a-boo!

Eli played along

Happy Grandparents

Oh boy...I might need another one of these...

Sonya lovin' on Isaac

Eli having fun with daddy

Watch out Leilani, the get this big SUPER FAST!

Playing with Sonya again :)

Edgar got a chance to hold Isaac too...surprising, since there were lots of people waiting in line :)

Congratulations Eric & Leilani! The fun is just beginning :)

Leilani is doing really well, especially considering 24 hours of labor...4 of which was pushing. That's right FOUR HOURS OF PUSHING. Ouch.

We love our new little addition to the family...hopefully Eric & Leilani don't mind us coming over a lot to snuggle with him :)

Happy Birthday Olivia!

Okay...so either I am one day early, or several days late...tomorrow is Olivia's birthday, but this past Saturday was her party. I'm finally getting these pictures posted :)

We went over to the 'big bash' last Saturday. The party was amazing. The food was AWESOME, and Olivia was definitely the star of the show :) Getting ready to blow out candles!
Olivia didn't really like getting messy...

All 'the kids'. The party was very well attended... :)

Eli always gets excited to see Olivia!

The boys...

Okay...so I couldn't stop snapin' pictures of Kaz...he's so cute!

Happy boy!

Future running buddies?

Eli loves the grass...

Come through the tunnel!

I told you I got carried away taking pictures of him...this isn't even all of them :)

Levi showin' the boys how it's done.

'See, Kaz, it's not so hard to get through.'

Levi was pretty fun to snap pictures of too :)

Daddy lovin' on his boy.

We had a great time. I tell you what...Christine does a party up RIGHT! The decorations were awesome, the food was great, and the company was fabulous. I think I might have to hire her for Eli's second birthday party... :)

What a day!

It's been a busy day. Lots has happened. But I will use another blog post to tell you about that. For now, I would like you to meet my newest nephew :)

Sweet Dreams baby boy!
