Hanging out at the Central Park zoo.
I didn't do it!
1st peach!
1st pumpkin patch.
Hanging out at a Fall street festival.
Grandma + Lia.
L can fly!
1st trip to the apple orchard.
It's almost here! I've been in the kitchen for 2ish hours, just baking up a (small!) storm. Gingerbread men, no-bake oatmeal cookies, ginger snaps, chocolate-covered pretzels, and chocolate chip cookies.
Now, I'm pretty tired.
We've been enjoying the kick-off of our first ever Christmas vacation as a family. And by vacation, I mean M being off work. We'll be spending Christmas here at our home with some friends we consider family. I am excited, to say the least!
But, I think all this holiday/1st birthday party planning has fried a few brain cells. I have forgotten so much stuff today! Despite a trip to BJ's, the commissary (military grocery store), the Dollar Store and a last minute run M made to another grocery store for me. I mean, running out of stuff that I actually really do need.
On the bright side - I finished up all the baking I wanted to do. Finished up the last few gifts I needed to make up. Stores are open tomorrow and all I need is some bread and butter. The rest can wait...
I'll be taking a mini-blogging break. But I'll be back in a couple days. Right now, it's all about my two loves. And creating our first Christmas together.
L's birthday countdown posts will be scheduled posts - so if you happen to be around the blogosphere, you won't miss any of the cuteness!
Happy Christmaskauh! I hope you all enjoy whatever holiday you celebrate. And, if you don't celebrate any (I recently read an article that opened my eyes a bit), then I wish you a great weekend and a Happy New Year!

L's 1st baseball game. The Brooklyn Cyclones.
Um, yeah. She stole my pizza.
She's got some gymnast legs.
Hanging out on the boardwalk in Coney Island
B.T. (Before Teeth!)
She is a swing-lova.
All dolled up in the dress, sandals and purse her abuela brought back from Mexico for her.
I've seen everyone else do embracing the camera and since I really really dislike my little Kodak with the grainy pictures, I don't take so many. But today, I have a picture. And in two days, I'll be tearing through the presents under the tree like a little kid trying to get my hands on the Canon Rebel that's under there. Just mocking me. But it's okay - because the hubs PS3 is under there mocking him too.
Here's L-bug and me, taken by a good friend's husband, at the Christmas party held for the marines and their families where M works. We had so much fun. The kids got to make snow (yes, it looked and felt just like snow - only not so cold!). All the kids were spoiled with many toys and stuffed animals - and me and my two friends won quite a bit of stuff. We're just awesome with luck like that.
Here's to me starting the embracing the camera journey. And, a kick-butt camera to help me out!
