Roger's Gardens Trip



Roger's Gardens is a fancy plant place I love to go to, just to look. Amelia loves the train there.

We got our Christmas Tree!!!!!

Stop the traffic we got a tree!!!
What do you mean I have to pay $30 more dollars for 5"



Amelia was a hoot at Target looking for our tree. She had so much energy in her. She took looking for a tree very seriously in her sunglasses. Stephanos on the
other hand was happy being warm.
Excuse me?

Whew.......

Okay, I wish I could say I'm all caught up, but no such thing. I added a bunch of photos. The past two weeks were very busy and tons of fun! Straty's parents came to visit. Aunt Connie came to visit. We did some sight seeing. Thursday, Stephanos turned 3 weeks. I haven't figured him out yet. He eats a lot and loves to sleep on my shoulder. He dislikes burping and gas. Sadly at 3:30am he's a different baby. He eats and then for the next three hours proceeds to grunt, cry and keeps me up and guessing what he needs. He's a noisey baby. He still has some congestion from birth, which worries me. He's throwing up his milk and then wants more. I'm tired. I'm dozing now. Hands are drying out again!!!! Cracking and peeling. Owell, have a great weekend.

Last day before Yaya and Papou heads home




We had a wonderful lunch on Main Street and then walked the pier. The sun set was beautiful!

Famliy Photo


We got the gang together to do some family photos. This was the best one.

Beachcomber for Lunch










Auntie C-Rah, Aunt Connie, Nana, Amelia, Stephanos and myself went to Historic Crystal Cove for lunch at the Beachcomber. While having a yummy lunch a plane landed in the water! It had everyone's attention. We had fun walking over to the tide pools and looking at the sea urchins. What a beautiful place to go!

Did someone say DISNEYLAND?









We had a blast at Disneyland Saturday! We wanted to see the Christmas decor and I wanted some candy cane ice cream. Amelia and I both enjoyed it! We saw Santa, Mickey and Minnie, lots of lights and pretty trees! Disney sure does know how to bring out the magic!

Fall night on Balboa Island


We ate dinner at Amelia's, a fabulous Italian restaurant. After dinner, Amelia and I ran across the street to fetch some Hippo cookies, yummy!!!! Then we stopped for my first Gingerbread Latte. I usually get my first on Thanksgiving, but this year I feel like starting the Christmas spirit early! We had a wonderful walk, looking at lights and gazing into homes. What a great fall night!

Handmade gifts



Katherine, Uncle Dean's Mommy made Amelia and Stephanos their own knit caps. They look so cute!

Bubblie?




Amelia loves her Bubblies!
