Disneyland

Our good friends the Odom's ( Steve, Coni, & Maegan) invited us to Disneyland.  This was Anabelle's first trip and she had a great time!  We spent time in both parks.  We got to see the Pixar Parade, ride It's A Small World, have dinner with the Princesses and so much more!

The Harbor Church Preschool

Anabelle started Preschool at The Harbor Church Preschool in Lomita this January.  I couldn't be happier about her experience there.  She has grown so much since this picture was taken.    

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a great Thanksgiving in Vanderwagen this year.  We had family come from California and Colorado and had a full house.  Just the way Thanksgiving was meant to be.  There was beautiful weather and deliscious food.  We went to El Morro and hiked to Inscription Rock, as well as a few hikes around the house and of course, Black Friday shopping too!

Happy Easter

Today was Anabelle's first Easter and we had a great day. It started yesterday while Anabelle and I colored eggs. Well really I colored eggs while she squirmed in her high chair while I tried to convince her this was really fun. It was!

Then this morning Anabelle and I hid eggs and when Daddy got up the two of them did a Easter egg hunt. She just giggled and laughed every time Daddy found an egg and put it in her basket. Then we let her sit and play with them for a few minutes. I'm pretty sure she didn't break all of them...

Then we got on our Sunday best and headed to church. It was a very good service and she was a good girl in the nursery. I could hear a baby crying when someone opened the sanctuary door and even though my buzzer wasn't buzzing, I couldn't resist the temptation to go check on her. She was asleep in the arms of one of the helpers in the rocking chair. So sweet!

Then we got home and got into our Sunday cozies and had a great day hanging out at home. I made a ham and fresh green beans for dinner. And now baby is snoozing, I'm blogging, and Trace is watching Bill Engvall. Perfect.

Thank you Jesus!
