Food!

"Ahhh...what a buffet!"

Someone get me some gloves!

There's lots of snow in Vail!

"Like my snowman?"











"Are we having fun yet?"







"Why does this weirdo keep taking pictures of me?"

Vail, here I come!

"I love riding the shuttle! I actually get to stand instead of being strapped to a carseat!"

"Here's Daddy after he went skiing...no broken bones, thank goodness!"

"Hey, why's Alex sitting next to me? Isn't that seat for mommy's purse?"

All snuggly. This is what it's going to look like in a few months...YEEKS!

Fun with Alex and Gymbo

We drove up to Vail to meet Linh, David and Alex for the night. Hailey had fun with Alex, and learned what it'd be like to have a brother around!






"This is my friend Alex."

"He introduced me to his friend, Gymbo. Gymbo and I hit it off quite well. I LOVE Gymbo!"

"I want Gymbo!" "No, I want Gymbo!"

"Yeeks!"

Goodbye, trusty carseat

Hailey has officially outgrown her pumpkin seat. Sad. We ordered a new "big girl" carseat, but until it arrives, we are putting her in my nephew's old carseat.

"What's up with this pillow thingy?"

"Hmm, I'm getting sleepy."

"zzzzz..."

"Why is it so bright in here?"

After a long day

"Is it bedtime yet?"

"I'm beat!"

"Where's my milk?"

Shake it!

"Don't you even think about trying to take my new rattle!"

Shoe shopping is fun!

"I like this shoe mirror...it's just my size!"

"Like my new shoes? Now I don't slip (as much)!"

Searching for Santa continued

Well, we went to Cherry Creek Mall today to check out their Santa. Pretty good looking, and has a cool sled and huge snow globe enclosure, but other people's pics didn't look that impressive...bad angles on the backgrounds. Sigh...the search continues. Hailey figured out how to open her tupperware of puffs and had about 40 puffs scattered all over her before we realized why she was so quiet in her stroller...




"What? Is there a problem?"

Searching for Santa

We decided to visit Park Meadows Mall today and check out their Santa. He had a really cool wood log cabin, but he was wearing a terrible outfit ... a green vest, green pants and red plaid shirt. Where's Santa's red outfit? It was all wrong. We'll have to check out a different mall for pics. Although the Santa at Picture People was pretty decent!




"I like all the pretty lights!"

Gimme five!

Panda Express

"My first meal at Panda Express...yummy! Do they have anything else besides peas and carrots?"

Fenced in

Ben finally put up gates on our stairs! Unfortunately now Mei Mei has a hard time getting through too!

"Ha! You may have blocked the steps but I think I'll just break this nightlight instead!"

1st haircut ... finally!

Before Mommy chopped my hair off...

After, with what Daddy refers to as my "Caesar haircut":

"Uh, I'm not sure about this look mommy...do I look like a boy again?"

Bobbing for strollers

We got a new stroller today! A B.O.B. Revolution Duallie. Yep, a handy second seat for my purse. =) Hailey tested it in the store...it obviously passed her comfort test since she fell asleep in it! Now we just have to get a carseat...

We took it out for a spin in our neighborhood when we got home.

"Don't worry mom, I'm quite toasty!"

Snow day!

"Hooray, more snow!"

"Good thing I have all these new toys from my grandparents to play with! Boy, if this is Thanksgiving, I can't wait 'til Christmas!"

"Daddy, what're you lying around for? Let's play!"

Princess and the peas

Hailey eats whole peas for the first time!







"Yummy...and fun!"

Where are you going?

Hailey discovers the tunnel behind the couch.
