Festivus for the Rest of Us!!!

So it was that time of year again...FESTIVUS! To keep with our annual tradition (and being in CA is no different) we held our Festivus party here at our home and enjoyed the evening with some of our closest friends here in San Diego. It was a fantastic evening, full of drinking, eating, and airing our grievances. It was well worth the following morning! Enjoy the pictures!

The Festivus pole with all the grievances "aired"...it is so therapeutic!

Will and Tim...I think Will was explaining the meaning of life at this point...

My beautiful ladies, Ann and Cara (sans Chris for the evening)...

I have no idea...seriously, I don't.

I still have no idea.

Tim after eating a piece of broccoli dipped in the rasberry fondue...gross.

Pre-grossness...

Yes, that's me...with my new haircolor. Do you like it??

John and his baby girl Dya...Lily and Dya played so well together!

Miss Rachel having a good time!

Uncle Mike and Gwen joined us for the evening...it was great to have family there!

Miss Cara Dunn...so pretty!

Lily getting down and opening Auntie Ann's present...it was a tea set that she has yet to put down!!!

Ann and Tim...having a great time!

Lily and Those Hats!

Lily is always playing with her hats...making a fashion statement is very important, you know! On the 10th of December, as usual, Lily was showing off this season's latest looks! Enjoy!

Goooo hats!!!

Can anyone tell me when that drool stops?? She has almost all her teeth!!

Sweet, sweet baby girl!

Beautiful little face!

"And this is my bellybutton:)"

"Hi!"

Playdate with Aidan!

During my "finals" week, my dear friend Ann and her little man Aidan came over and kept Lily company. Lily adores Aidan, and is so sweet and patient with him. She sure will be a great helper one day when she becomes a big sister! Here are some photos Ann took of them while they were playing...so sweet!

Who Doesn't Love a Fudgsicle???

It is no secret that Lily LOVES chocolate, so we decided to share a fudgsicle with her on December 16th...and did she chow down! Thought I would share a couple pics of her enjoying her little "snack".

Mmmm, that's good!!!

Christmas in San Diego!

Today, December 6, 2008, we had our Christmas family pictures done...a little "Christmas in San Diego". Anyone in the northeast have a 80 degree day? We did!

Although Lily was a little fussy, we did manage to take some really cute pictures...here's just a small handful of them for you to view...we hope you enjoy them!

Sleepy Lily...she was really worn out:(

Kissing my honey:)

Family photo:)

The local surfers were great and offered their surfboards for props:)

Of course, this was right before Lily moved the present away from Aidan...she did not want to share!

I Just Love that Little Girl!

As if I didn't already think she was the cutest thing in the world, Lily has once again stolen my heart with these sweet moments...she just has the kindest little spirit and so full of life! Here are some pictures of my little one being just as she is: amazing:)

She just loves that hat!

My little doll face:)

Loving those Doritos!

You don't know what you're missing Mom!

Sweet baby girl with her Daddy!

Seriously, they're THAT good!
