BEANS!!!

Tonight, Celia helped David cook tacos. She loves to cook and is getting pretty good at it. She even has her own apron that her Grammie made her.

Emme was excited to try beans for the first time.

They were definitely a hit.

Christmas '08

We had a very low key Christmas this year which was just what we needed. We didn't buy many presents since Celia just had a birthday and Emme has plenty of hand me down toys. We just really enjoyed spending the day together.

David and Emme woke up at 7am, but let Celia and I sleep a bit longer.Santa left Emme cups, eating utensils, socks and a pair of shoes.
Celia got underwear, socks, and glow in the dark stars from Santa, oh and an orange. Santa did not bring any walnuts this year thanks to my request and only a little bit of candy.

Emme gots some neat presents from the granparents too. Like organic vegetables (made of organic cotton). She really likes the carrot for chewing.She also got some clothes and her very own cell phone and keys.After presents, we had a nice breakfast with eggs, bacon and "Baby Jesus birthday cake" (as Celia now calls it). It is actually my grandmother's coffee cake receipe that she made for Christmas brunches when I was a kid. The rest of the day was filled with playing, reading and tricycle riding.
