Admiring Aunt Susie's tree!

Just thought I would post some Christmas pics! Needless to say, we had a great one. She has made everything new again. I was excited about Santa!! From what I hear, it only gets better! Can't wait for next year : ) I will post pics soon from our first family Canada trip!

Happy New Year!!!

Santa!

1st Santa visit... loved the beard!
She really gets into her toys... literally!

Chylar the red nosed baby, had a very shiny nose...



Just some pics to enjoy. We are taking them like crazy, I thought we should share some. Chylar saw Santa on Friday night at a party we went to. He brought her, her very own fisher price handbag! NICE!! I was teaching Chy some traditions today. We hid baby Jesus (because he isn't born yet). Later we are baking with some friends!


12 days until Christmas!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

And what a great Thanksgiving day we had. We hosted it this year. Everything went as planned and the Turkeys tasted great! Chy enjoyed it : ) The day after, we decorated the house for Christmas. and I took her out for some Black Friday shopping. We walked to the stores thinking it will give me some exercise and will limit me on what I could buy. Well, I ended up getting tired and bought too much, so I called a cab (Gord : )). Yesterday, Chy and I were shopping again and feeling grateful for everything we have, so we decided to go to church. WOW.. she was a wild women in there. Climbing on me, wanting to get down screaming (joyfully), reaching for the kids behind me yadd yadda yadda. Makes for a loooong hour, huh? She is sooo active, now.

Today we plan to go buy some gates for the house. It is time : )

May the dear Lord bless Chylar...

The moment ; )
Godparents in the back (my Cousin Eddie (He goes by Ed now, but I can't change : ) and My sister Susie.)

Whole group!!

Chy with my cousins, Eileen and Lisa!!

Today Chylar was Christened! It was a great day, great weather, great food and lots of family. it was so nice that all my in town family was able to make the baptism. Especially, since it is close to the holidays and many have to flee to other cities/states/countries : ), we all got to spend some time together. Enjoy the pics...

Bit o' History... The dress Chylar was wearing is 50 years old. My sister Susie was the first to wear it! She is Chylar's godmother. I was the 8th to wear it and Chylar was the 18th!! It was so nice to make her a part of that family tradition. 13 of us were here today to celebrate (including my sister, Kim (rest in peace)). The other 5 were thinking of us from afar (in Boston).

Happy Halloween!

PJ time!

Chy in PJ's!!

Mamma and ME!!!
Intrigued with her minnie me...

BZZZZZZZZZZ

Happy Halloween ALL. Well, this was the first one with a little one and boy was it fun. She is renewing all the excitment in my life. She makes everything new again. I almost couldn't sleep the night before. I bet christmas will be 100 times more the fun, huh? We had family over to show off her costume and eat some homemade french onion soup!!

Chy now has 2 teeth. 2 very sharp teeth : ) We all have learned that the hard way.

Enjoy the pics.... Next week she is being baptized, so I'm sure we will have more pics to share. Stay tuned!
