Christmas Party 2009 at Grammy's

Hi, it's Xia again. We all got together on Wednesday 12/23/09 for a Christmas Party at Grammy's house. I was so surprised when Santa came! And Mrs. Claus and 2 elves. Surprisingly they all looked a lot like Uncle John, Aunt Kris and cousins Kate and Allie...



Here is Isa sitting on Santa's lap:

And here's a cool gift for me from Santa. The marbles roll down...



Here's the Claus family:

Mommy and Isa got in on the act:

Here I am in a wonderful Grammy hug:
Isa has fun with some toys:



Isa enjoys her new Doggy Sounds Toy as Daddy and Aunt Kris look on:

And the evening came to a wonderful close as Isa snuggled asleep on Grandy. What a happy Christmas party!

A Snowy Day

Xia here. We got a ton of snow on Saturday 12/19/09. We canceled all of our plans and stayed home all day since the weather people were telling us to do just that. Mommy and Daddy took us for a walk in our sleds in the snow. I don't think Isa was having as much fun as I was:

Poor little thing! Here's a shot of the beautiful day...

A Fun Evening with the Volpes

Hello, Isa here. We had a great evening on Friday 12/18/09 at my God Family, the Volpe's house. They made us dinner and we had such a nice time.

First a pile up of toys with me in the middle:

Xia and Gianna had a blast playing dress up. Xia makes a GREAT Supergirl!:

Further antics of the dress up girls:







Isn't it great to have friends where you can be yourself completely?!

Xia is Hiding...

In her toy basket on Wed 12/16/09. And who are her friends peeking out?...

Cute Xia & Isa

Just an irresistible shot of us early in the morning on Tuesday 12/14/09...

Let's Make Christmas Cookies

nnnnnnn - Isa here - the n's you see to your left are my first attempt at typing. I'm sitting here on Mommy's lap as she updates the blog you see...

Anyway, on Saturday 12/12/09, Xia and Mommy continued the Christmas tradition started last year by baking Peanut Blossoms. Everyone loved them last year, so they decided to go for it again. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to help them out next year. I had to watch them from my exersaucer this year.

Mommy cracks the messy eggs (Xia isn't quite ready for that):

Xia stirs...

Then they do the cheesy pose:

I, being stuck in my exersaucer, get teased by a water bottle...



After all of the fun, here's the end result...

Xia is Thirty Five Months Old

That's right, I hit the thirty five month mark on Saturday 12/5/09. Here's a pic of me on Saturday 12/12/09 (we were a bit late with the shot). Can you tell I'm outgrowing all of clothes?!!
