Buggy's 1st Boo-Boo!

While enjoying one of the many books she received for Christmas, the bug got a nasty paper cut on her thumb! Several tissues and a few bandaids later- she was good to go!!! Back to checking out her books, but this time sticking to just the board books!

I love my books!

Paper cuts are NO FUN!!!

Enchanted Village Trip!

Today, Caelin, Nana and Mommy met with with Auntie Kara and Bailey to see the Enchanted Village. Waiting until afer Christmas proved to be a good decision, as there was no line and no waiting! The set-up was very nice and Caelin and Bailey seemed to enjoy looking at displays and the fake snow that kept falling. We then had lunch at Uno's and called it a day. Thanks Nana for the great idea- can't wait to see it again next year!

Caelin's 1st Christmas!

If Caelin could write, she would be spending her Christmas vacation writing thank-you's to everyone who made her 1st Christmas so wonderful! We pretty much got to spend time with everyone in Mommy's family, including grandparents, great grandmothers, cousins and aunts/uncles! After a fun Christmas Eve opening gifts with cuz Bailey, Caelin woke up on Christmas morning to open a few gifts with Aunt Kell then it was off to Nana's house. After Nana's we headed to see the rest of the Morra clan. The following day, we headed to Plymoth to celebrate the Yank's and watch the A-B-C cousins play and open their gifts! We had a very Merry Christmas! And hoping to reschedule the Flynn family gathering soon!!!

Christmas Morning!!

Chillin with Grampa

Yikes- that's a lot of presents!

Blizzard of '09!!

I guess we should be used this by now, after all we have lived here forever, right? We got a huge dumping of snow last night and it has continued through the day today. We love snow, but this first big snow storm put a damper on 2 of our big Christmas parties with the Yanks and the Flynns. Looks like both will be rescheduled for after the holiday and we will keep our fingers crossed that another blizzard doesn't interfere! So, Caelin was so excited (ha-ha) about the big snow storm that she just couldn't get to sleep last night. She cried and cried until about midnight at which time she wore herself out and fell asleep. Rest assured, she only got in about 6 hours and then was up and ready to play! After a few rounds of shoveling and lunch (new food of the day was chickenless nuggets a tatertot and cinnamon apple sauce) we bundled her up to go outside and see what the snow was all about. A very quick trip but fun to watch her just stare around!
What is this stuff??

Can I eat it?

I can't find my hands...and I want to play?

...and still snowing!

My 1st snow storm!!

Caelin's 1st sleepover party!

Caelin's buddy Alex spent the night this past Friday. The two opened up eachothers Christmas presents, played lego's and watched Shrek 3. Alex gave Caelin the coolest soccer ball nightlight for her room and some fancy yet sporty socks, thank-you Alex! He was quite the entertainer, making sure Caelin was smiling happy with her toys and showed her his cool Star Wars guys! Caelin hit the sack early and Alex stayed up to watch the end of the movie and have a bowl of ice cream and then both kiddo's got a great night sleep. Thanks for coming over to play Alex!

Nicole, Alex and Caelin!

Helping eachother open presents!

On the Go!

That's right....8.5 months and starting to move around! Caelin is happily scooting around backwards from the living room to the hall by our kitchen, unless she gets held up under the couch! She still would rather be sitting, and when shes in that position can turn around and with a pillow behind her can now fall back and raise herself back up. And when all is said and done....time to take a nap, sometimes on her side!

All tuckered out!

Ready...

Set...

Stuck!

I think the dolly has something in her eye....

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

There is nothing better than sitting around listening to Christmas music and just enjoying a good Christmas tree! We got our tree up with only a few glitches and the decorations look great! Caelin enjoys the lights and best of the Soccer Santa that Grampa Flynn gaves us a few years back.

Caelin's 1st Tree

1st glitch....

Soaking in the trees...

Aaaahhhh-CHoo!

The past few month has been a round of one after the other being sick in the Y-F house. This past week, Caelin has taken the brunt of it with a lingering cough and ear infection. So, the latest pic's are mainly of her taking naps....because that's about all she's been up too!!

One sleepy little bug!

8:35 on a Saturday night...oh how times have changed!

Snuggling with Diesel & Nike!

Favorite napping spot...

Not every 1 can make the cut....

Ahh....fond memories of forced family trips to Sears for the annual Christmas pic didn't deter us from trying day after day for a week to try and get the perfect picture of Caelin for her 1st Christmas card! So many great ideas, cute outfits and attempts yielded over 100 pictures that would not make the cut. Needless to say, Caelin was not as interested in getting her Christmas card pictures taken as we were! So, here they are....you be the judge- should any of them have made the cut?
I do not like Santa hats...

I do not like them on my head, I do not like them even if they're red!

The cutest one....


This best describes how C feels about tummy time!

Smile!
