Jolly Ol' St. Nick

As you can see, Nadia was pretty excited while we were waiting in line to see Santa this week. This was quite the departure from last year when she cried the whole time she was sitting on his lap. Luckily for us Sonia decided that she would be deathly afraid of the big guy this time. Perhaps next year they'll both enjoy it.

9 Month Well Visit

Sonia went to the dr this morning for her 9 month checkup. Here is the tale of the tape:

Height: 28 1/4"

Weight: 18lbs 4oz

Reach: too long, considering she grabs anything and everything we don't want her to.

Visit to Cincy

We braved the elements in the Element and crossed state lines to see the Carson's this weekend in Cincinnati. Nadia and Will immediately hit it off and chased each other through the house all night. Morgan and Sonia didn't quite play together as much, but they did find some time to hang out by the coffee table.

It was certainly nice to catch up with Patty and Mitch and let the kids play, something that we do not get to do often with them.

Gingerbread Village

Jose had Tuesday off from work so we took the girls to Conner Prairie to view the Gingerbread Village and to play at the Discovery Station. We were pretty impressed by the gingerbread house to the left but there were many others that were very creative. If you live in the area and enjoy this sort of thing, it's worth visiting.

Spider-Man & The Green Goblin

Imagination...how fun it is!

Nadia took my headband and decided that she was Spider-Man.

I posted the photo above of Sonia because she could easily be the villain with that expression on her face.

Thanksgiving and Titi Gigi

What a week...

Brea and Pete were in town all the way from Seattle, Jose was off from work the entire week (Nana and Papaw took some time off too) and little Cooper finally arrived. I think the girls and I are going to feel a little alone and sad tomorrow after having so much company around. We managed to cram as much as we could into one week...good quality time with my sister (who I miss) and Pete, the Children's Museum, an early Thanksgiving with my Dad's side of the family, and a trip to the hospital to see the adorable Cooper Ashton Prather.
