Christmas 2009

Christmas has come and gone once again. This year was filled with lots of family time and lots of gifts. We currently have a living room full of new toys and literally nowhere to put them. Nathan thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas spirit this year from the lights, decorating the tree to opening presents. He enjoyed many of the attractions around San Diego, as well, including Seaworld, the zoo and the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights. We were happy to share this special time with just him before he becomes a big brother. We are looking forward to 2010 and the addition of a new baby girl, though as it gets closer (2 weeks until the due date). We hope all of our friends and family enjoyed the holiday season and wish everyone a Happy 2010!

Christmas Time is Here...

Christmas time when you are almost 3 is a magical time. Nathan has really gotten into the spirit this year. I think we have watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas at least 10 times since Thanksgiving. He was so excited when we picked him up from daycare on Tuesday to go pick out our tree. I thought he was going to spontaneously combust with all the jumping he was doing. Then when we got home the excitement continued when we decorated the tree. He loves to look at it everyday. Last weekend Balboa Park's annual December Nights took place. The whole park is lit up, the zoo train is decorated and the museums are all free. There is tons of food and Santa is there to greet the kids. It was madness for the adults because it was CROWDED, but Nathan once again jumped right into Santa's lap and told him what he wanted for Christmas. No fear there! Nathan was a little disappointed that by the time we got to the Old Globe Theatre to take pictures with the Grinch, he was no longer there, but quickly got over it. In the next week or so we plan to go to the zoo to check out there Jungle Bells, Seaworld to try the ice skating and use my pass once more before it expires and head down to the harbor for the Parade of Lights, where all the boats are decorated.
