This has been a wonderful holiday season and it seems to have flown by. We decorated our tree the day before Thanksgiving, so we got to enjoy its beauty for over one month. Buddy the Elf came back to our house this year to keep on eye on us and report back to Santa each night how well we behaved. He left us various treats and coins every morning when he returned and it helped us to count down the days until Christmas. Santa actually called us on the phone to wish us a Merry Christmas and check in on us. We continued our annual tradition of cruising our neighborhood looking for holiday lights. We found some great houses and we even saw the house where Santa camps out. He waved to us and told us Merry Christmas many times. We saw him work on his naughty/nice list, watched him sort his toys, and we even saw him eat cookies and drink milk. We ventured over to Brea to see their very festive neighborhood.
We spent Christmas Eve at Grandpa John and Suzanne's where Parker and I got a hot wheels track. Then we went to Grandma Lu's where I got new vans shoes, a music cd, socks, and several hot wheels sets. Our last stop was at Mom and Pop's where I got to play with my cousins and we wore our Christmas pjs from Mom and Pop.
On Christmas morning, we woke up with excitement ready to see what treasures were under the tree. Santa sent us on a scavenger hunt and our surprises were hidden all around the house. We had to find them with various clues. It was so much fun. I got more hot wheels, reading books, an arrow nightlight, and some playing cards. We spent the rest of the day at Grandma Katy's and Grandpa Al's feasting and opening lots of presents with all of Daddy's side of the family. I got lots of toys and books. I am one spoiled (blessed) kid.
I had a wonderful holiday season and I can't wait for next year.

About Mommy & Daddy
Mommy and Daddy met on Nov 22, 2002. Mommy had just moved back to Southern California from San Francisco and was working in Irvine. Daddy was living and working in Newport Beach. Mommy had invited one her my co-workers, who happened to be Daddy's roommate, to join up with her and her friends in Las Vegas. Daddy accompanied his roommate to Vegas and it was an instant connection after they met. They were inseparable. After a year and half courtship, they got engaged. They were married on Sept 24, 2005. They were enjoying blissful married life filled with travel. After almost 4 years of marriage, they decided it was time to start a family. This is where I come into the picture. I am due on Nov 11, 2009. Mommy and Daddy have no idea what there in for...
