Time with Daddy

Eva is definitely a real "Daddy's Girl"...and I have been able to get some really good pictures of the two of them together! 

It is so fun to see how much Drew adores his little girl...it melts my heart! Eva has moved from calling Drew "Da" to now saying "Da Da Da Da."

FYI...she does say "Momma too"!!


Eva is also into being naked lately!!

Nose Kisses!

Reading with Daddy on Christmas morning. 

Brushing teeth with Daddy


Eva was pretty sick here...she fell asleep on Daddy while he was
reading to her...poor baby!

Eva's Funny Faces

Recently, Eva has really discovered the different expressions she can make. She is too funny and we CANNOT help but laugh every time she makes one!!! 
Sticking out her tongue.

"Rotten Face" #1

Have to include a smile pic...she loves looking at herself in the mirror. 

Hard to see...but this is "Monster Face"

"Rotten Face" #2

Sticking out her tongue again...she is really into this lately...
but it is not so much fun when she tries to kiss you!

A visit with Aunie Vern

Over New Years weekend, Auntie Veronica (Drew's sister) came out for a visit from the bay area in California. It was a really nice weekend with her! We were able to spend some quality time with her, shopping and cooking and watching movies. She and Drew got out and went skiing. It was a relaxing weekend...we weren't on the go the entire time, but were able to hang out (and force Drew to watch the first 2 Twilight movies!! 







Motning everyone! 



Opening presented with Auntie

Oooh, Eva likes Auntie's new bracelet. 


Hanging out watching Twilight

Thanks Auntie Vern for coming out to visit! We love you, miss you and can't wait to see you in March!! 

A Snowy Day

Yesterday a snow storm hit Denver...lots and lots of snow!!! We have about 18 inches outside (of course I am guessing because I have not dared to venture outside yet)...but we are up, Eva is having her warm milk, sitting in her chair, cuddling with her blankie and cat in the hat ( a recent addition to her plethora of toys-will be explained in a later blog) and watching Curious George.

I figured that now would be as a good a time as any to get caught up on some blogging!!!

So I will start with Eva and Drew's snow adventure yesterday! Of course it only lasted less than 10 minutes, but let me tell you, Eva really loves the snow! Drew can't wait to take her skiing when she is just a bit bigger and I bet she will love it! I think we are going to try to go sledding tomorrow. Will take more pics then!!!

All bundled up to head outside!

Hanging with Daddy...snow is coming down!

Hey...this snow is kind of hard to walk in. 

Sitting in the snow...EATING the snow! YUM

Silly Daddy

Taking a ride on Daddy's shoulder

Hey this is kind of fun!

She kept face planting it...on purpose! It was sooo funny!

Okay...ready to go in. It is cold out here!!

All in all...it was a successful trip for our little snow bunny! Will probably go out again today...because, there is a lot of shoveling to do out there! Although, our really, really awesome neighbor was snow blowing our sidewalk yesterday! He may have that really bad RV in his backyard (you can see it from our backyard and in the pics above)...but he is obviously a good neighbor...may have to bake him some cookies!

Christmas is over... (fyi-I started this blog on 01/05!!)

...and I can finally take a second to sit down and blog! The decorations are put away, there are no more Christmas sweets in the house, the Christmas lights are still hung up outside, but they aren't turned on. All in all, that is kind of depressing since I love the holidays, but Christmas can't come again next year until it is over this year, right?

On Christmas Eve, my parents, brother, sister and brother-in-law gave us a NEW CAMERA!!! I am beyond excited and obviously we are still learning how to use it! It was just an awesome surprise and the best gift because now we can finally get some good pics! We took over 700 for the holiday alone! So, I am going to document Christmas here mainly with a bunch of pics (I promise not all 700!!)

Eva waking up Christmas morning...I think I was more excited than both Mot and her for Santa's visit!

A little milk with her FAVORITE monkey before opening presents.

Going downstairs to take a look at the presents for the first time.


Hey...this isn't half bad!!!

Mot getting in on the action...doesn't he look thrilled?

Eva's new towel and Daddy making her laugh!

Wow...rocking out with Elmo! 

Once Eva opened her book, she was not interested in the rest of the gifts! She loves to read!

Beautiful Colorado day for Christmas...sun and a little snow on the way to my parents house.

Peanut getting in the spirit

Gramma made a Sock Monkey blanket for Eva (or Drew??) 

Grampa got Eva a sled!

Mot was apparently a little cold...needed a new sweater!

Drew being, well, DREW!

A kiss under the mistletoe with my love.

Me madre and myself. 

My bro, Andrew...same shirt as Drew...new holiday tradition. 

Grampa making the ginormous prime rib!

Poor old Thor being forced into the Christmas spirit.

Hard to believe Christmas has come and gone. It is my favorite time of year and was a total success this year. 

Happy new year to all! Hope it is good to you! 

Now...wedding time!!!!!
