Family Christmas Picture

It wasn't easy, but we managed to get a family picture under the tree. Natalie was loathe to sit still especially with 20 other people milling about for her to play with. She did eat some of Christmas Eve dinner and she loved opening presents with cousin Connor. We love our happy little family.

Natalie and the Wonder of Christmas

Natalie was a big fan of Christmas this year. She continuously sang "Up on the House Top" and "Jingle Bells" with a lot of her own words of course. Her favorite gift was a Little Tikes basketball hoop. She still tells people Merry Christmas when they leave our house, even though it is the end of January.

Happy Halloween from Baby Bee

Natalie really enjoyed Halloween this year. She liked her Bee costume, even asking for it the next day after we came home from Chris and Melissa's Halloween party. She ran around outside and learned to say "Trick or Treat" pretty well. She had a cute little yellow bucket with a honey pot and a bee hive on it. She also liked carrying around her mini pumpkin she picked out at the patch a few weeks ago. We didn't carve pumpkins this year, but her Grandpa George brought her a carved one that she thought was pretty cool. Natalie will not be eating any of her candy that she received, but that's ok, because Mom and Dad have offered to help. We thought she was the cutest baby bee ever!

Natalie & Connor in Matching Skeleton Outfits

Well - we took 36 pictures. This was the best one. We'll try again on Friday when we attend Happy Hersey Halloween, but I am not holding my breath.

More Fall Harvest Festival

Fall Harvest Festival 2010

We took Natalie to the Fall Harvest Festival again this year. We also entered her in the cutest baby contest that she won last year. She did not win two years in a row, but that's OK. It is good for someone else to get a chance. The difference between what she looked like then and now is pretty striking. We tried to take the same picture we did in 2009. We mostly succeeded. All in all we had a fun time and went out to lunch afterwards with G&G Amling at Egg Harbor. The weather was a bit cold and windy, but we still had fun. Take a look at some of our cute pictures! The first one is from the 2009 festival, the 2nd is from today.
