You People Are Vicious

OK, so after numerous threats and "friendly" suggestions for more posts, we're finally back to posting. Yes, it's been a little while, but we had important things going on like Jesus Christ's birthday, Ayjia's birthday, and the start of American Idol.

But now that all of those things are over with, we're back in the saddle. Expect new posts weekly. At least for now, I'm sure we'll dissapoint you again within the next month.

We love you all. Thank you for reading. Enjoy the 4 (count them 4) new posts! Now, leave us alone. We're going to go sit in a corner and wait patiently until Apple reduces the price of the new MacBook Pros.

Happy Birthday To You!

We can't believe it. You're already two! Oh my God! Stop growing already! Our family and friends gathered to usher you into the "Terrible" stage. We opened some presents on the night of your birthday, but we had the real party the day after your b-day on January 8th. We know, we know...we can't even get your birthday right!

The night of your b-day, you opened presents with a few of your favorite peeps.

Are you trying to put a spell on this?

Some goofy kids in your play house on the day of your b-day. We like that new Yia Yia doll you put in your house. It's incredibly life-like.

Note to self. Balloons, although seemingly incredibly cheap, actually cost a lot of money. Damn price psychology.

Ayjia got some new jewelry for Christmas and on her birthday. This was not on the day of her birthday, but we thought you would enjoy this little gem of a picture. This is our "thank you" for being patient with us.

Good Bye Tahoe! See You Next Time!

So, at last our time in Tahoe came to an end. We decided to celebrate our trip by going out a nice dinner at the Chart House (a must go if you haven't been....also stop by the Naked Fish). The Ayjia news crew was there to capture all the action...

This is about as good of a picture you're going to get w/ your grandparents.

Your (Kind of) First Time In The Snow

During our week in Tahoe, you got to go to the snow for the first time. Of course, we forget our camera. So, these pictures are not from your first time in the snow. But, they're close...

All bundled up and ready to go kick some ass.

Your dad doesn't know much about photography. But he has learned not to put you in the center of the frame.

It's small, but that's a snowball between her gloves. Give her some credit, she's only two.

You didn't like riding in the sled at first. Then, dad gave you a sled ride and pulled you really fast. From then on, you liked the sled, but you would constantly say, "Faster Faster!"

I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas (And Not In A Racist Way)

So, this year we went to Lake Tahoe for Christmas. We're going to try and have Christmas in the snow every year from now on. But, if this global warming thing keeps up, this new goal may be a challenge. Here's what went down this year....


100_2549.JPG
You started out the new year nice and grumpy. Santa Claus had his work cut out for him...

100_2557.JPG
You got a little happier when we put up our "mini-tree" and you realized that you might be getting some cool stuff.


100_2576.JPG
We even convinced you to wear a Santa hat. Which you did, for about three seconds, while Dad flicked this pic.

100_2581.JPG
OK, four seconds. We had to get this picture as well. Lots of presents this year. Are we rich? No. Are we now in debt? Yes. But at least your happy. And don't think we're not going to use this debt as a guilt trip as you get older.

Some people reading this might get a kick out of this. Hmmm...who's in the stroller?

The view from our Condo on Christmas morning. Well, the song is called, "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas" not "I'm enjoying a White Christmas."

100_2691.JPG
This proves God is a day late and a buck short. This was the view from our condo the day AFTER Christmas. If (S)He can't even send snow on the right day, how can you possibly expect Jesus to come back anytime soon?
