White Thanksgiving

We woke up on Thanksgiving to about 3 inches of snow, and it snowed all day long! Although it was beautiful, and Hailey loved it, I was sad because we missed out on my families Thanksgiving dinner in Seattle because of the nasty roads. :-( Jeff had to work and I didn't feel comfortable making the drive with Hailey, so we opted to stay home and play in the snow. We will be celebrating our "makeup" Thanksgiving today at our house! It will be my first time making a full Thanksgiving dinner, so I am kind of nervous, but thankfully Jeff has been such a huge help in helping me prep everything.

Hailey had so much fun playing in the snow, and loved to eat it and just walk around in it. I startled her when I tossed a snowball at her tummy, but she soon wanted to make "balls" and even got me in the face with one! Hailey did a pretty good job keeping her gloves on, but that didn't stop her from telling us that her hands were cold and needed hot chocolate to warm them up! She told us that everytime we took her outside, it was hilarious. And of course we gave her hot chocolate, because who can say no to that?!

Santa Pictures!

Hailey loved Santa this year (after she spent a little time getting to know him). Here are the pics of her last 3 Santa encounters.

Chuck E. Cheese

Starbucks

I like Starbucks now, it's amazing!! I still don't like coffee, but I really like soy Chai Lattes!

2 year dentist appt.

Hailey did so great at the dentist this time around. She really liked the mirror they used to look at her teeth, and she was so excited to help out by holding it. They even let her keep it! She has 2 of toddler molars, and is working on 2 more that are just barely through the skin.
When she was all done, she got to pick a toy from the treasure chest. She picked a slimy worm!

Halloween 2010

I'm kinda late getting these pictures up, but better late then never! Hailey went as Minnie Mouse for Halloween, but from the pictures you can't really tell because she was bundled up. We went trick or treating with Ashley (witch) and Lincoln (superman) around my Father in Law's neighborhood. Hailey enjoyed going up to houses and picking out candy. She was really obsessed with lollipops, and it's all she could talk about the whole night :-)

Jeff and I enjoyed on snacking on all the treats she got :-)

A day after we got back for Disneyland, we loaded up in my parents RV and made the drive to see our friends the Scott's. Jeff and KC used to work together in Everett, and it's been awhile since we were able to see them and their son Tristen, so we were very excited to see them!

Tristen and Hailey had a lot of fun exploring the 6 acres of land they live on and checking out the neighbor goat. They also got to explore a really cool "tunnel", which was really an empty culvert, and play in a sand pile.

It was a great 4 days that seemed plagued with bad luck (red wine spilled on carpet, a gravely ill family member, etc), but it was so great relaxing with friends after the kiddos going to bed and learning how to play Mexican train dominoes. :-)

Disneyland!!

Our trip to Disneyland was beyond amazing. Here are the highlights:

-85 degree weather the first 2 days.
-Hailey was a perfect angel on the flights.
-My mom flying down to join us for a couple days.

-Lunch with the Disney Princesses.
-Riding "It's a Small World" 10+ times because it was Hailey's favorite ride.
-Watching Hailey mouth the words for "It's a Small World" while riding the ride...Precious!
-Thunder Mountain Railroad!
-Universal Studios
-In and Out Burger
-Seeing the Chinese Theater and Hollywood Blvd. for the first time
-Visiting the Le Brea Tar pits
-Finding the Hollywood sign.
-How well Hailey slept the whole time we were there. :-)
-Being relaxed!
-Swimming in the pool with Hailey.
-Trick or treating in Disneyland in the pouring rain!

-Best.Vacation.Ever

These are only a tiny glimpse at the pictures we took. Hailey loved every minute of this trip and so did we. We look forward to going back soon!
