Late Christmas Present

Yesterday we received a late Christmas present. Natale Joan Prince was born at 825 am on December 28th. She is a healthy baby, weighing in a 9lbs 4oz and is 19 inches long. She is so cute and so far very well behaved :)... Congratulations Prince Family. May she bring you lots of happiness.

The Happy Prince Family!!


I just had to post this one... the girls are smiling but momma and papa have their eyes closed. I think it's cute.

A Merry Christmas Indeed

We had a very nice Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve, we invited Nana to stay with us. Since it was so nice, we headed down to Fairhaven to take in the sights of Christmas. We opened presents on Christmas morning with Nana, then we headed down to Kirkland to celebrate Christmas #2 at the Hanson's. We had a wonderful day spending time with all of our family. Hope you all have a very Happy New Year!! May 2008 be the best yet!!

Danielle excited about some new lego blocks she got from GG.

Grant got Family Guy Monoply so the boys played a (never ending) game and guess who won?!


Kim on Christmas just 3 days before her due date. She's such a good sport and was in good spirits!!

SANTA

Danielle & I went with our friends Megan and Ronan to visit Santa. You can tell by the pics below Danielle didn't quite enjoy sitting on Santa's lap, but once we were done she was waving and smiling at him.


CLASSIC


She seemed a bit better with me holding her.

Cutie!

December Fun!!

I can't believe Christmas is in 15 days!! We've been keeping very busy. We had a special guest, my cousin Amanda, visiting from England for 10 days. We had tons of fun visiting & exploring things around town.

We got our Christmas tree yesterday with the Greenwoods. We headed out to Stoney Ridge Farm out in Ferndale to get the tree. We picked the perfect tree & had fun decorating it as well as the house... more pictures to come. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season.


Todd, Grant, Danielle, & Ashleigh looking for the perfect tree.


A Punky size tree!! She liked this one.


Grant cutting down our tree.


Hauling the tree to the car.


Danielle LOVED decorating the house.


Danielle smelling the tree.

While Amanda was visiting, we treked down to the Seattle Aquarium with Avery & Aunty Kim. Danielle enjoyed running and running and running, while the rest of us enjoyed seeing all the different fish & aquatic animals. I think our favorite was the sea otters.


Fun & done at the Aquarium. Auntie Kim, Avery, Dani & Amanda.


The silly sea otters. They were our favorite.


Jelly Fish dome, the pic doesn't do justice.

We found a new place to play in B'ham, The Childrens Museum!! Danielle's favorite thing at the museum was running up and down the docks. It was so funny because she didn't care about anything else but running up and down them.



Dani in the Octupus den.


Avery the captian of the submarine.


We welcomed December with our first snow fall. Danielle had fun playing in it with her cousin Avery.


What is this white stuff?! Everytime she touched the snow she would shake it off her hand.

One big happy family!!

Around the House

Miss Dani is getting funnier & funnier and cuter & cuter. She'll be 16 months at the end of the month and is VERY busy!! She's saying about 40+ words and is repeating what we say all the time. She lets us know when she doesn't agree with us and isn't afraid to explore things she's not really supposed to get into. She is always on the go go go and it's usually in the opposite direction! :)


Helping Daddy load the dishwasher.


Fridge Rat... everytime the fridge is open she wants to snoop around and play in it.


How much do I weigh?! She's up to 26lbs!


Still LOVING her baths.


My Punky Girl... she keeps getting cuter and cuter, doesn't she?!

What's a Spoon For Anyhow?

Hmmm, I like this spoon, but what's if for anyhow?

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was so much fun. As you can see Danielle was a Love Bug. We had dinner and went trick or treating over at the Crovo's. Sammie and Danielle had fun going door to door to get candy. At first they were a bit timid, but after a couple houses they caught on real quickly. Here are some pictures of the fun we had!! Hope everyone had a great Halloween.

We made the most of the costume by wearing it all day. We spent much of the day outside riding in the wagon to the store and playing in the yard.


She's showing me a leaf... before she attempts to put it in her mouth. :)


Running away from daddy or should I say flying away since has wings.



Around 5 we headed over to Sammie's house to have dinner & to trick or treat. We had such a great time!!


Sammie & Dani having fun... this was hilarious!!




Enough photos, let's go trick or treating!!
