So I was reading someone's blog that had this on it and their blog was deemed Genius level. So I tested mine and I'm only at Junior High? How insulting. I better throw some big words around and raise the IQ level of my blog. Uh let's see, polyhedron, dysentery, brachiosaurus, vacillating. Yeah, I don't know, but I graduated college so I must have passed junior high somewhere along the way.
The neighbor girls came over to play.
Kelsey loves to watch her brother be a dinosaur. She thinks it's so funny! 
My friend's one-year-old little girl came over a couple of days so her mom could get some work done. She loved Kelsey and wanted to hold her and kiss her all the time. It was nice for me to be able to earn a little money, but I'm glad I don't do it everyday. Having 2 babies is busy! Luckily they both napped at the same time so Jeremy and I still got quiet uninterrupted school time together. 
I took Jeremy to get his free meal at Red Robin for his birthday. He chose macaroni and cheese and carrots and lemonade. He ate every bite! 
He ate some of his birthday ice cream sundae and then gave the rest to me. Yum Yum! 
It's been so warm that we went to the beach with our neighbors. It was beautiful! 
This was Kelsey's 4th or 5th time to the beach since she was born in the summer but the first time she could actually sit up and experience it. She loved to eat the sand! The next day Daddy changed a very sandy poopy diaper and he was concerned about what I was feeding her. It's just sand, Daddy! 
Our cute baby beach bunnies! 
Jeremy and his friend played in the waves even though I thought the water was so cold!
Jeremy is 6! We went to Disneyland to celebrate his birthday. 
Daddy's brother was nice and got us in for free. Thanks Uncle Jim! 
We went to City Hall and got a birthday button for Jeremy and Goofy wished him happy birthday on the phone. 
Kelsey got a First Visit to Disneyland button. 
Daddy and Jeremy had fun riding on the attractions together and Kelsey and I hung out and took pictures. 
Jeremy loves Space Mountain and is always so excited to ride it but still covers his eyes. 
Rocket Men 
Bumper Bugs 
We had fun riding the new Toy Story ride in California Adventure. I could go on this one with Kelsey on my lap and it was so awesome. We loved it!
Jeremy as the evil Emperor Zurg. 
Jeremy was the king of the carousel and everyone cheered for him. So fun! 
In the evening our neighbors joined us for dinner and we went on Dumbo and Pirates of the Caribbean twice! It was a fun day and I wish we had our Disneyland passes again because Jeremy was so sad to leave. 
We stopped at the donut shop on our way home and made Jeremy his favorite: donut cake! Happy Birthday Baby!
So when David got home from work on Christmas Eve, we went to his parents' house to celebrate Christmas. 
Grandpa had to work Christmas Day so we opened presents with them early. 
Our family got the Wii! We were so excited! 
We got this sign for David's parents cause they're super duper mushy.
It felt kind of rushed like we didn't have that night to finish getting ready, but it was nice to have Christmas morning not feel so rushed and stay home. 
Christmas morning was fun watching Jeremy. He was so funny. We had to talk him into opening a present. 
He was so occupied with his stocking and wanting breakfast that we took a break and ate our yummy traditional Cinnabons and then went back to his presents. He was so sweet. We'd ask him if he wanted to open another present and he would ask, "Is that present for me?" He was in awe that he would have more than one present.
I was really good and only got Kelsey one present. I know she doesn't need anything and could care less anyway. She enjoyed opening it and Jeremy enjoyed showing her how it worked. 
Jeremy got some fun toys he'd wanted for a long time thanks to the awesome Black Friday deals at Walmart. 
Kelsey just enjoyed the wrapping. 
In the afternoon we felt ready to venture out and took David's mom to visit her hubby at the fire station. 
Whenever the grandkids come, Grandpa buys them a candy bar. Jeremy didn't know they cost money so he just helped himself! 
It was fun having Christmas dinner with the firemen and the other families that came. Kelsey made friends with another baby there who was the same age. 
We took pictures and hung out with Grandpa in his room for a while. 
Jeremy had fun jumping on the bed. 
I was highly amused by this little pad in the urinal. Who wouldn't want to pee on Bin Laden?
The day after Christmas it was my turn with my family. 
My sisters and our families went to the portrait studio to take new family photos since Cherish was in town and we've added a couple little girls to the family. 
Then we went home and ate yummy food and opened gifts. 
The boys had fun with the Guitar Hero World Tour Janice and Greg got their family and us girls sat around and chatted. 
For New Year's Eve we went to our neighbors'. They had a honey baked ham and David made mashed potatoes and stuffing to go with it. So yummy! 
We brought cheesecake and some noisemakers to bring in 2009. I usually don't stay up because it's just another day to me, but I made a valiant effort since David really likes to kiss me at midnight. 
The next morning we came back over and made waffles and hung out. It was good yummy fun! It was a great holiday season with lots of family and friends and for the first time I'm not at all sad to leave it behind and tackle this new year.
