Some of my favorite memories of 2008...the girls 1st birthday, a family visit to the Cal Academy of Sciences, 4th of July with the Turpens in Tahoe, the first time the girls made each other laugh, seeing them hold hands in the stroller, playing the "who can say WOW the loudest" game and getting them to sleep through the night back in January. Honestly, that feels like 5 years ago not 12 months ago. It really is amazing when I think about how much they have accomplished in the last year.
To cap off the year we had a great visit to Sacramento for Cousin Mia's 1st birthday party. The girls loved playing with all the other kids there as well as seeing cousin Mia eat her cake!
Christmas was spent at home with visits and fabulous meals with family. Santa stopped by our house on Christmas and the girls were excited as they walked out and saw a bunch of new toys by the tree. Opening presents was fun too, although they didn't like the tape. Note to self: not as much tape next year. Some of the favorite gifts are the new kitchen, the shopping cash register and the purse dogs. Yes, my daughters are going the way of Paris Hilton and they each have a little purse dog. They are actually quite cute and Hayden cuddles hers, it is pretty cute. Luckily, Remy is not jealous.
We rang in the New Year with lots of friends over at the Hoversen's house. The girls were very good to us and went to sleep early so we could play games, have some adult beverages and ring in 2009!
We wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year! With amazing friends & family we know it can only get better!
