Sienna vs. Cali - Christmas Round 1

If the comic strip from the previous post didn't give you a clear enough picture...

Watch as Cali attempts to thwart Sienna from taking her ribbon off of the present...wait until the end for a "special" present.

Merry Christmas!

Baby's First Christmas

Cali: "Ok Sienna, mommy says I have to read the card first..."

"Hey, I see you eye-ing my present.."

"Sienna!!.."

"That's enough. Leave it."

Hats!

Since Cali doesn't have much hair to play with yet, mommy's been on a HAT kick lately. Here's her latest $4.99 find...

If you look close, you can see Cali's first tooth below!

Christmas card photo shoot

Most of you should have received your Christmas card from us by now...here are a few more of our favorites from that multi-hour shoot :)

Strube Visit & Date Night

What a cutie, eh?

Brooke and Dylan Strube came to visit us in early December. We visited Union Square in SF the first night; we enjoyed some hot cocoa, window shopping at Macys, and FREE parking (can't beat that)!

Here are my "fans" during the 4th Annual Genentech Inter-Campus hockey game, which is played at the NHL arena in San Jose.

Here I am with Cali after our victory! Wanna see photos from the game? Sure you do...come on...they were taken by the fantastic Dylan Strube!

Sunday was "date day"--Brooke and Dylan offered to babysit Cali for the day. Cheyenne and I struggled to decide what to do as we haven't had time to ourselves in over 6-months. So, we decided to head downtown, again, to see the Cirque du Solei show, Ovo. Then we ate a Burger Joint and took the train home. While we were out, Dylan, Brooke, and Cali were....

at the Golden Gate Bridge. They also headed to the coast to walk on the beach. Dylan, who brought his swim trunks, did not venture in the water. The funny thing was that D&B were gone LONGER than J&C -- damn we're lame.

Cali had a blast with Auntie and Uncle Strube, but we now fear that she has been initiated into a gang?!

**If you have noticed that Dylan is wearing the same sweatshirt in EVERY photo, please be aware that these photos were taken over a 4-day period and none of the photos were doctored; he just really likes that sweatshirt.

See how thuggish (adorable) she is now?

This past weekend:

Who are these well-dressed movie goers wearing 3-D glasses? Yep, that's us. My company had their holiday party on Saturday (Cali's 7-month birthday), but the line for the shuttle service was ungodly long so we ditched it to go have a quiet date night. This was mostly based on my lack of patience and the time limit we had due to the expensive daycare babysitter. We over to a local theatre and saw A Christmas Carol 3-D and had a late dinner at Red Robin. It was the first time we had left Cali at night, but she did great!

Today we had a holiday/Christmas/family photo shoot -- photos coming soon!
