Watching the rain

It rained all day today and Aubrey just loved looking out the window and watching. She loves the rain just like her mom and dad.

Aubrey's First Steps

Aubrey took her first few steps today. We are so excited!!!!!

A man of many talents

That's my hubby. He amazes me every day with all the wonderful things he can do. He is so perfect at everything he does and I am so lucky to have him as my husband. For Christmas he got a nail gun from my parents and oh did he put it to good use.

Aubrey and I watched from the bed.

Look at those PERFECT corners. I think he is a professional. My dad and Spencer did crown molding in Aubrey's room right before she was born. This was only his second time doing crown molding and he did it all on his own.

Here is the final product of our romantic master bedroom. We are still looking for the perfect picture to go above our bed.

I'm so proud of my man!!!!

New Years Day

My Sister's Birthday is New Years Day so we went and meet up with the family for a dinner celebration.

G-pa was doing patty cake patty cake and Aubrey loved watching us all do the roll.

New Years Eve

We had a nice New Years Eve at home. Aubrey went to bed at her usual 7pm and we stayed up to watch the apple drop in Times Square.

Girls Weekend

Three years ago my mom, sister, my aunt and I went to Disneyland the weekend right after Christmas. Then last year they went to Reno (I was way to pregnant for that trip). Since we all have so much fun together we have decided that the weekend after Christmas is our annual girl's weekend. This year we got to add one more girl and went to Monterey.

Aubrey LOVES the aquarium. She looked at everything and was so excited all day. When we went over to the hands on area she just reached in and wasn't scared at all.

We even got to meet Forest Gump.

Slumber party!

In the aquarium they had this very cool baby/toddler area. This video is of Aubrey on the wave maker which is like a water bed.

Christmas

We celebrate Christmas with my side of the family. We had a very eventful day!

The Night Before Christmas

It's my family tradition to have my dad read The Night Before Christmas to all us kids on Christmas Eve night. My grandparents gave me the book for my very first Christmas. This year my parents Aubrey's grandparents gave her the book for her very first Christmas. It was very touching and special for us. Spencer read it to us and Aubrey loved it she stayed still the whole time and really listened to the whole story.

Christmas Eve

We celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve with Spencer's side. We had a wonderful night of eating great food, opening gifts, a white elephant game, singing The 12 Days of Christmas and skyping Mom and Dad Sup in the Bahamas (they are on a mission). It was great fun and Aubrey loved playing with all her cousins.

Cousin Noah, Cousin Alex, and Aubrey all in their Christmas P.J.'s

Cousin Ben and his white elephant gift. He was so excited to get that huge chocolate bar. It was too cute we had to get a picture.

All the kids having fun!

Good Friends

On our way to the bay Christmas Eve-Eve we got to meet up with our good friends Kris and Jen for dinner. On Christmas Eve my best friend from childhood, Kate was in town from New York so she came over for breakfast.
We were so glad that it worked out to see our friends and that Aubrey got to meet them all.

Weekend before Christmas

Since we were going to be in the Bay Area for Christmas we did our own mini Christmas the weekend before at home.

Deuce even got to join in the fun!
