Christmas morning

Ella w/ her new doll and bow

Riley w/ her chef outfit

Riley's new hat and doll

This morning brought lots of presents for Riley & even Ella. The morning started out good until Ella decided to stay up for more than 5 hours before completely exhausting her parents and herself. Oh well, just a couple more months and hopefully she'll be a better sleeper. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Snow in Gig Harbor

Technically this is the most snow Seattle has seen in a decade and let's just say this area is definitely not equipped to handle any of it. Everything is shut down around here, I went to the grocery store yesterday and you would've thought it was the end of the world. The lines were insane and the traffic around the harbor was crazy. Anyway, here's some pics of Riley and Ella (who is now 4 weeks already).

Ella...oh Ella, please sleep

Well, Ella is now a little over three weeks old and I can't remember the last time I slept more than 4 hours at a time. Everyday is completely different, which drives me crazy since I like schedules. I can't wait for the day when she can sleep at night and not decide to be wide eyed and crazy from 1-3am!! It's like another little Riley all wrapped up just in time for Christmas ;)

It's Christmas time

Here is Riley and Ella with Santa, Riley is finally phobia free from Santa and gladly went to sit on his lap (of course, he also had a huge candy cane to give her).

Birthdays & Pledge of Allegiance

For my birthday yesterday we were all finishing dinner when out of nowhere Riley started saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Jarom got her to do it again so we could record it, it was so cute! It was a good b-day (despite the blur of it all through sleepless eyes), especially when my little girl sang to me.
