Santa Picture 2009

My Mom and I were at the mall Friday afternoon and Marley saw Santa. There was no line and the girls were dressed alike, so I thought what the heck. A stress free Santa picture. It was really close to Ellie's nap time, so she wasn't the huge smile baby she can be, but I think she handled being in Santa's lap pretty well. She wasn't very sure of him. Marley hopped right up. That girl loves Santa!

First Sandwich

Beach Weekend

We went to the beach with Mimi and Poppy last weekend. I don't know why some of the pictures are so small. It must have something to do with the fact that I stole them from Mimi's Facebook page.

We had a really good time looking for shells and writing our names in the sand. Marley met a friend there and they got soaking wet in the ocean.

Marley loves the ferris wheel

Lunch at Lulu's was delicious!

And, of course, there was shopping.

We stopped at the coolest McDonald's on the way home and the girls had a good time playing on the playground.We had a great time. Next visit, I will make sure the memory card is in the camera before we leave for vacation.

Gramps Birthday

My Dad's 67'th birthday was last week and his friends took him to lunch. Gooch took their pictures and added his own special touch. This probably doesn't interest most of my readers, but some of you know my Dad and I thought you might like to see what a really old man looks like. I'm especially freaked out by his friend, Arther's eyebrows.

Singing in the Car

Marley and I love to watch Phineus and Ferb. This is our favorite song from one of the episodes.
