Albuquerque Favorites

i didn't take very many pictures in albuquerque so this doesn't really give an accurate depiction of our time there. we had a great time with both austin and my family. the girls loved being with the family and especially their cousins!we had an adventure with these two little pipsqueaks! they were a bigger handful than they appear and really liked to wake each other up from sleeping peacefully! it was such fun to see them together. charity and i like to call them the twins!

it snowed one day so we bundled up and took adeline outside. she was not thrilled about being so bundled! and not a big fan of the snow because it "made her shoes wet and cold". funny girl!

we had a long delay at the airport returning to la. austin took this little shot which pretty much describes how we all felt!

Well, they say in LA it's a warm holiday...

here are some highlights from decemberella was acting so sweet to her aunt stefie but was really just plotting her big move...to pull as much hair as possible!
adeline loved making a gingerbread house with her cousins and grammy. thankfully she was sweeter to her aunt stefanie than ella was!my parents came for a visit and adeline spent most of her days sitting with papa doing some reading. i found them like this every morning and throughout the day! so cute, hopefully she'll study as much as he does. we had a very sweet time at our annual lunch with our favorite mrs. switzer. the girls loved catching up with her as well. i took the girls to their first tea with our dear friends, the norton girls. they loved every minute of it!
adeline was a very good helper wrapping presents and decorating for christmas. she also proved to be quite a fan of christmas carols!ella loved wrapping paper and bows!we had a great time celebrating as a family before we went to albuquerque. we are so thankful for our sweet little ladies and our life in california. we are more blessed than we could ever imagine.

We've been a long time gone...
