First Big Snow this Year

If I remember correctly we got about 4 inches of snow. We took both kids out but Sam had to come in early because he was sick and we didn't want him to get worse. Natalie loved playing outside, being pulled in the sled by Papi. She didn't like getting her boots full of snow. Next year we are definitely buying snow boots! Poor baby she came back in a little icicle!

Getting ready!Love Sam's face in this one. Natalie is ready.
Papi, where is your coat?

Sleep Over

Natalie is obsessed with sleep overs. She loves them! It reminds me of me when I was little. I always spent the night at friends' houses. This night Izzy came over and gave Lucia and Pat their first night away from the little munchkin. Much deserved and the girls had such a good time!

Mami and Papi's Night Out

This New Year Natalie and Sam spent the night at Nana's which gave us a chance to go and have a fun night. Thanks Nana!

Christmas 2009

WOW! What a Christmas this was. It seemed to creep up on us really fast this year. I guess the lack of sleep from Sam really affected us! Anyways, we were preparing until the last minute! I think Natalie had a great time, we did!!

Trying to get a family picture at Lucia's was pretty impossible. Sam didn't know what to think of all the craziness and Natalie could not contain her excitement. I wonder why? we had already made cookies for Santa earlier and left out some reindeer food.

Natalie and Izzy. They are so excited!
Little Brother and Mami. Can you tell that Sam loves the camera?
Christmas morning. Natalie looked in her stocking first. This is the first year that Santa filled stockings at home!

Natalie laying on her new bean bag, ready to watch a movie. She loves the basement. For the first three days she was down there constantly. Playing, watching movies, coloring. She even asked us to turn off the light because she could see the movie better that way. HAHA! she is so funny! Merry Christmas Princess!

Natalie's New Career Path

Natalie has decided that she wants to take pictures, ALL the time!! She loves taking pictures of herself and extreme close ups! Sometimes I feel like I am playing that game where you have to guess the object from a very close up picture. I don't always know what it is and I have to look at the other pictures to find out. Guess what we will be getting her for her birthday this year!

Here is some of her greatest work:

I was trying to follow the camera here.


HAHAHA! I love this one!
Can you guess what this is? fireplace screen.


Rubber ducky. This one is actually really cool. At least I think it is!

Natalie's Hair

Natalie loves her hair long. She can flip it, twirl it, put it up, down, braid it, she loves it all. This day for some reason her hair was really straight. Don't know what happened to all her curls. She loved how long her straight hair was! she couldn't stop playing with it!

Izzy's 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday cousin Izzy!!

Decorating for Christmas

Natalie was a big help decorating for Christmas. She couldn't wait to get the big tree up in the living room and her tree in her room (it's pink!). She got to put the star on both!Sam helping his big sis with her pink tree and purple balls.
