| Christmas Morning |
December was a month filled with family and holiday fun. We continue to be blessed by children who love each other. Every time I see them asleep together I just smile.
Elsa likes being a big sister and pushing her baby brother in the stroller.
I continue to love to dress them up in matching outfits - mostly PJs.
And Elsa likes to dress Liam up in her sparkle skirts.
We have fun photo time to just capture how wonderful they are at one and three and a half years old.
And Arne is just great with both of them. They love their Daddy.
We like to have fun outings, like to the Academy of Sciences in SF.
It was a lot of fun getting ready for Christmas. The kids helped my mom trim her tree.
We hung their stockings at home. Grandma Julie hand knit the stockings for Arne, Elsa and Liam.
Elsa took a picture with Santa at school.
We had a wonderful girl's outing to the San Jose Nutcracker thanks to Julie.
Christmas morning they slept in until 8, and then opened up all the presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Elsa loved her doctor's kit - telling everyone she is a doctor who helps nobody.
The last weekend of the month Elsa & Liam's cousins came over to celebrate his birthday. This involved fun painting,
trips to the park,
making snowflakes at the table,
and watching movies together.
The next day we went to the Exploratorium and Ferry Building in San Francisco, where a great time was had by all.
On the way back to the parking garage, we enjoyed watching a bit of winter fun at the skating rink at the Embarcadero Center.
With Elsa loving being inside a "snow globe."
At the end of Liam's first year we are now finished with the
beautiful cherry wood cradle that Arne's dad built by hand. It's now back in Berkeley. Here's a picture of it when it was
brand new three and a half years ago:
It was a great December and a wonderful 2013. Happy New Year to all.
